Many childhood beliefs appear nonsensical in hindsight, yet they are a common experience. Numerous shared anecdotes reveal humorous misconceptions people maintained into adulthood. One person thought a 'Cheat Sheet' was a 'Cheat Cheat', while another believed eating bread crusts would result in curly hair. Some individuals held a misconception that clouds made roaring sounds due to nearby airplane noises. Additionally, several people thought that musical bands lived together, unaware that they had separate families until adulthood.
"I thought a Cheat Sheet was called a 'Cheat Cheat' until I was in my late 30s and I sent my boss and coworkers an email with the subject title and attachment both named 'Program Cheat Cheat.'"
"As a kid, I had straight hair, but I always loved curly hair. One day, my dad told me that since the crust slice of a loaf of bread was curled, if I always ate the crust, I would have curly hair. I believed that for about 10 years."
"I thought the clouds made loud roaring sounds when the wind blew between them or if they moved. Turns out we just lived about 30 minutes from an airport, and planes were always flying over our town."
"I always thought musical groups and bands lived together in the same house. It never crossed my mind they might have spouses or children, and I was fully an adult before that thought crossed my mind."
