Kids certainly do have strongly held beliefs for wildly inexperienced people.
Here’s some of the more outlandish stuff that we all believed as chizzlers.

Whereas as adults know for sure, anyone safely 20 years older than you is actually the correct definition of “old”. Nothing less.
Are you old enough to be reading this? If not – look away now.
As children, we used to believed with bottomless certainty in certain seasonal-specific benefactors. One was jolly, one was an anthropomorphic rabbit and one (for possibly sinister reasons never fully explained) wanted our old teeth.
As a child, we truly believed our parents had the answers to all of life’s questions. Any of us who now have children are aware that parents, in fact, are just making it all up as they go along. Thankfully the kids have unshakeable faith.
What downright ludicrous stuff did you whole-heartedly believe as a child? Share your shame in the comments.
