When I was a kid I thought the quarter machines at the laundromat literally transmuted your dollar bills into quarters. What's something silly you believed as a kid?

There were a few (I was just a kid, after all)! And I'm embarrassed to admit this lasted until I was 11 or 12. I thought dying only happened painlessly in your sleep overnight, and only an unlucky few died in a hospital or accident or while suffering.

I thought everybody just went to whatever church was nearest to their house.

I thought only guys could fart.
