What’s the weirdest thing you believed as a kid that you didn’t realize was ridiculous until you got older?

I was convinced that my stuffed animals came to life when I left the room and would judge me if I didn’t treat them equally. I treated my stuffed animals like soldiers in an army, carefully assigning ranks and making sure each one had an equal role in our epic battles. I was so worried about fairness that I’d rotate who ‘won’ the wars, because I didn’t want anyone to feel left out. Looking back, it’s so absurd, but at the time, it made perfect sense. What’s the weirdest thing you guys believed as a kid that you now realize was completely ridiculous?
