As children, we tend to believe a variety of things, from nonsense ideas to respectable concepts. And more often than not, those beliefs are based on some form of teaching, like something our parents told us not to do lest something bad happen. As adults, we know certain things as a given; it came with the worldly experience over the years. But for children, anything that's not in their immediate sphere of expertise (assuming they have any) will likely be considered as the unknown, and kids then look up to others to fill in the blanks or come up with original ideas why things are the way they are. A Twitter user by the name of @Kristen_Arnett decided to delve a bit deeper into the topic, asking people on Twitter what are some of the beliefs they had as children.

    I always thought that when people kissed, they were already married/dating in "real life".

    I thought pedestrian was a religion as the first time I saw that word was in front of a church school. I thought how would you know if the person was a Catholic, Presbyterian, or a Protestant? Seemed like the name of a religion.

    One time, I woke at dawn and looked out the window to see the mountains covered in big cumulus clouds. The sun hadn't hit them yet so they were dark blue. I thought the mountains had grown overnight and this was a normal thing for them to do. Later in the day, though, when I saw them their normal size, I realized what had really happened.
