Things you thought when you were a kid

[Where's Wellwood]

A thread for revealing things you thought when you were a kid be they dumb, impressive, or non-nonsensical.

 

 

When fast food places ask you if you want your order 'for here or to go' I thought one of the options cost more than the other.

 

When TV shows say 'closed captioning brought to you in part by...' I always thought it said 'closed captioning broughtued in part by...' 

 

I thought that to film the first Transformers movie, they actually built full scale transformers and moved them around.

I used to think it was "mortage", not mortgage. I also thought "Tatar sauce!" was an expression of angst. Darn you, Spongebob.

I think when most people are kids you generally think "Oh he's an adult so he must be so smart and know everything."

Then you get older and quickly realize how wrong you were. You quickly realize that, now matter how old some people are, there are just some insanely stupid people who lack common sense.

When I was a kid, I thought I would grow up to be a Veterinarian, and that all people lived in small towns and would go to the city to shop. 

 

I went to school for Fashion and work for a software company now, as well as live in the city. 

 

My dad told me when I was little that I would grow up and have my own condo, and that my brother would be married with children.  He was right.  My brother is married with one child, and I am single, live in the city in an apartment with no children.

Sword was pronounced with the w.

 

I would make the NHL

 

I would own like 20 cars

 

[TimberWolf]

I thought Stormtroopers were robots, not dudes in helmets.

 

I thought automatic weapons had batteries that cycled the action. 

 

A little older I thought the pinnacle of gaming would to be able to play Dragon's Lair at home on a console.

I used to think The Rock from the WWE looked like famous actor renowned for his role in The Scorpion King, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

 

I was shocked when I learned it was actually Vin Diesel.

I can't think of any movies I would give my life for except maybe Jaws 2, Gravity and the 1st Harry Potter movie. Those were good productions.
