Re: what was the most naive or ridiculous thing you believed as a child
When I was a kid we went to a World's Fair, and a group from Mexico put on a pageant which included a simulated Aztec human sacrifice.

I thought it was real.

That banks were wonderful and helpful creations.

That the government wanted what was best for us and worked toward that end.

That KITT, the car from 'Knight Rider', really WAS the fastest car in the world and COULD JUMP OVER THINGS. :-)

Re: what was the most naive or ridiculous thing you believed as a child
That my grandfather was a good man, when in reality he was a child abusing pedophile. Also, that the Catholic Church was the one true church and faith. When I was surrounded by a bunch of hypocrites, going to church every Sunday, but in reality were alcoholic, abusive, pedophiles...you get the picture.

That I'd be a millionaire by the time I turned 40.

That someday, somehow, someone kind would find out all about the beating I was getting from my eldest sister and make it stop.

That Bugs Bunny, the Joker, Flash and Batman were all real... and that they all loved me.

... well, I still love all of them, up to now.

One was that if you sneezed with your eyes open your eyeballs would blow right out of your head ...

Re: what was the most naive or ridiculous thing you believed as a child
That if I worked hard and studied that my family would finally be proud of me when I graduated from college.

Quite the opposite! I found out several years later that they told no one that I had graduated. They left others in our small town with the impression that I had dropped out, or even worse had failed out of our large state university. I think that my education threatened them so much that they just couldn't work up the enthusiasm to ever say "Good Job". I married a military man and left the area after college. I have lived (mostly) happily ever after despite this early disappointment and lack of moral support from them.

Babies came into the world when a married man and woman loved each other, then baby would start to grow in the wife's belly and somehow came out of her stomach when it was ready.
