Before, i ever had science subjects, I thought USA is above the Philippines, like my dad is stading on top of the Phiippines, because he rides an airplane visiting the Philippines. I was born in the USA, my mom brought me to the philippines when I was 4 yearfs old. But remembering my belief, i am so embarrased to even think that I thought about this when I was a child. I even thought he was the President of USA, because he has calling cards, where he used to be the President of his company. Lol.. How about you? What’s the Dumbest Thing You Believed as a Kid?

When I was only 3 year old, I believed that the mountains grew from pebbles. An uncle made me believe that it was true, I "seeded" a small pebble, he substituted it with a bigger one time by time and I thought I was growing a mountain.

@AmbiePam I was so deceived when I discovered that he was the one replacing my little stones.

I believed if I didn’t pray every night before I went to sleep, I’d go to Heaven overnight. I don’t know why as no one ever told me that. It wasn’t until I was seven, and I fell asleep one night before praying that I realized when I woke up in the morning that wasn’t true. To be clear, I didn’t think that would happen to everyone, just me.

I'm hopeless at these sort of questions but my father convinced my friend that black-and-white cows gave black-and-white cream.

Well I think as children we are very easily influenced to believe in stuff we are told we need to believe in. I did I don't now and haven't done for many years
