What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a child?

When I was a pre-schooler, my mom told me that you weren’t allowed to ride a motorcycle or get tattoos unless your mother was dead.

One day, outside the grocery store I saw a big, tough looking dude covered in tats, straddling the loudest motorcycle ever. Damned it 5 year old me didn’t go up to him and ask, “Hey. Is your mom dead?”

Dude looked at me and said, “Yeah.”

And I was shocked that my mom was right.

That man was probably freaked tf out that some random creepy child came up to him unprompted and asked after his deceased mother
