@sck601 I always thought it said 'i wanna have boobies'. I didn't realize it said groupies until I heard a cover of it by a different band. So glad I'm not the only one!
I'm still convinced there are two different lines one that says boobies and one that says groupies. That's my favorite line so I'm putting on my blinders.
When I was younger, power rangers were popular. My sister would play with neighborhood kids who were all older than me. My mom made them include me so they made me a special power ranger, a purple one.... Who had the power of invisibility. Great, right? We would play for hours and not one person acknowledge me (remember, I was invisible).
So I was pretty much ignored for a whole YEAR of my life before I figured it out. No, I never received therapy, and yes she is now my best friend and cries laughing when I tell that story. =\
I just googled the lyrics of 'when I grow up' because I was also convinced they said 'boobies' ....I just looked at three different lyric sites. Now I have to admit I'm wrong.
This isn't me, but it's so damn good! A few weeks ago my smart, savvy, almost-40-year-old coworker told me that she thought her sister was ridiculous for wanting to turn cucumbers into pickles. ...Until that day, she thought that all pickled foods came from their own pickle bush or pickle tree!

Me toooooo... I'm sooo glad I was not the only one... I also was convinced that in the song 'Raise your glass' the lyrics were 'panty snatcher' .... I realised my mistake during an embarassing sing out with friends.. They keep insisting its 'penny snatcher' .. I'm still having doubts on this one though
I used to think the world used to be in black and white and that's why old photos weren't in color. When I was maybe 10 I asked my Dad if he was alive back when the world was still in black and white. He gave me a look like, "This cannot be my child..." lol, and then explained how it was the film.
10 might not necessarily be an inappropriate age, but it's still ridiculous that I ever believe the world used to to be greyscale and then magically became colorful one day!
I think I may have thought that too briefly. We have a joke about my mom living in the time before color. I always think of The Wizard of Oz.
Oh, thank God I'm not the only one who believed the crust lie!!!!! I felt like such an idiot when I realized how insane that was.
Some time in my twenties I figured out that the Cadbury bunny did not cluck. I don't know why I just accepted that whole time that it did. Good advertising I guess lol
After Dark Horse by Katy Perry came out it took me like a year to figure out she was saying "so you wanna play with magic." I thought she said "so you wanna play with my jig." It doesn't make sense at all...but it's Katy Perry. I was in a zumba class when I finally figured it out.
hahahaha i thought that it said "so you wanna play with matches" and it took me actually really listening to all the words to realize that didnt make sense. lol
----QBF---- Glad to know I'm not the only one! I thought it was "so you wanna play with my jeep."
Staying on the song trend, Jingle Bells "one horse soap and sleigh", PCD When i Grow Up, i thought it said "I wanna have boobies" instead of groupies, and the ever so popular "revved up like a douche" instead of douce in Blinded by the Light.
Wait, it says groupies?! So that's why our faculty advisor was okay with that song being in our dance performance!!!!! Ah!!!!!! Thank you, I just learned something new. :-D
When I was in high school, my brother, who is a year older than me, thought that girls just had a butthole and a vagina hole that we used for both sex and peeing. He didn't know we have a seperate uretha. I never corrected him, so my poor 26 year old brother probably still believes this. Lol
I have a few, I was a pretty naive child, but this one was the worst by far! The summer after my freshman year in high school I went on a church trip with my aunts youth group. Mid week they sent home some of the kids. When I asked my friend what happened (he was a senior who I had an enormous crush on) he told me the adults found out the girls were giving some of the guys head, so they all got sent home. I told him I didn't understand, so he pointed to one of our mutual friends and said "there's no way I can explain this to her." I was MORTIFIED! He enjoyed the mortifying me again when he informed my now husband the first time they met.

Call up your friends and tell them that THEY are the ones who are wrong! It's TOTALLY panty snatcher, 5 different lyric sites just confirmed, so unless everybody is singing it wrong except your friends, they're the wrong ones, haha
I am and have always been very close to my mother-in-law and she accompanied me to a doctors visit at about the age of 19 (still just boyfriends mom at the time). She was in the room with me when the nurse was taking my vitals and asking questions when one of the questions was "how is your libido?" I had no idea what that was so I just kept asking her to repeat it and the nurse repeated it like 3 times. My MIL was giggling in the corner and then when I finally said I don't know what that is she just lost it. Having the nurse say "libido is your sex drive" was embarrassing on just so many levels!

On the website I got this thread from, you would be so shocked at how many full grown women didn't know this! Seriously, they didn't learn this until they were in their mid 20s! It's scares me. What ever happened to anatomy class in school?
These are all killing me ladies lol. One time when I was younger and stupid, I asked my mom what would happen if babies came out of buttholes and she said it was impossible, I kept insisting "but what IF" and she kept saying it was impossible. Finally she just told me they would stink forever. I believed it lol. My mom was a cruel liar lol
@SullyN --that sounds familiar! In high school a classmate was trying to tell me about some people getting suspended because someone was giving someone a BJ. And I had no idea what she was talking about!

Ha. These are hilarious. For the longest time I did not know that penises were "flexible." I thought that when a man got an erection, it just stuck straight out, and was this rigid pole that didn't bend or move. I literally believed this until I was about eighteen when DH (who was my BF then) talked about how guys "tuck" their "boners" up into their waistbands to hide them (don't ask me why we were having this conversation...). My response? "Wait...penises bend??" He laughed uncontrollably, and then informed me "if that weren't the case, the first time a guy tried to have sex, he would snap it off!" I was so embarrassed by my lack of anatomical knowledge.
This isn't something I learned at an inappropriately old age, but it's more so just something that makes me shake my head in embarrassment every time I think back on it. When I was in elementary school one of the girls in my class told me about sex. So I went home and told my mom that "Samantha told me what sex is" and she said "okay, did you have any questions you wanted to ask me?" and I said "Yes. What kind of clothes do people wear during sex, because I think most clothes would get in the way. Do they make special sex clothes with holes in them?".... I have NO idea how she did not laugh. She calmly explained to her 6 year old daughter that most people did not wear clothes but girls could wear their bras if they wanted to. SO. AWKWARD.
I just remembered another. I just learned this year that you can deposit cash via an ATM. I had no idea. I don't know how long this was a thing before I realized it, but my mind was blown.

It's actually fairly new, atleast around me it is. So don't feel bad lol
My family always makes fun of me when I realize something for the first time that is obvious to everyone else. Their two favorites are the day we were going into Macy's and I realized it's called a department store because it has different departments-I just had never stopped to think about it before. The best though was cleaning out my closet to move out of parents and I found My Little Ponies, and got so excited when I realized they were My Little Ponies because they were mine, and they were little ponies. I'll never love that down, apparently everyone noticed that but me
I don't know when I learned otherwise but I do remember thinking as a kid that my clitoris would eventually grow into a full size penis..... So embarrassing lol!

There was a whole episode about this on Orange Is The New Black. Lol.

What's funny is a lot of them said they didn't know until they saw that episode hahahah
Until pretty late in high school, the idea of blow jobs really confused me because I didn't understand how having ones penis blown on could feel that good. I knew there had to be something more to it, but couldn't figure out what it could be.
Not as bad as when I had to explain to an older girl that she couldn't get pregnant from giving a blow job. She was very worried because she swallowed and it was a liquid, so she would pee it out, and it would be going right by so it could get her pregnant then.
One more: I went on a group trip to Germany as a teenager. We had been there for over a week when a girl wrote home to her mom that South America was really beautiful. She wasn't joking. (We left North America so we had to be in South America, right?)
So I didn't know women had a clitoris until I was around 18, my now husband helped me realize that. I thought women pee'd out of their vaginas until I was around 20. Obviously, I didn't learn a women's anatomy growing up. I thought I had to take out my tampon everytime I pee'd, I didn't understand why people would reuse the same tampon after peeing I didn't realize they never took it out.
My mum told me that if you put chocolate with dairy products you didn't get the calcium. It took me till I was 18 and started to tell someone else to figure it out. So many missed chocolate milkshake opportunities because of this!
My friend has always called theses "u-HAUL Moments" because of the time she was driving behind one & it finally dawned on her that *you* are having to *haul* it yourself We laughed about that forever & now anytime one of us realize something we really should have already known, we share our U-HAUL moments and laugh some more! One of my most recent ones was realizing that Chief Nokahoma (the old-school Atlanta Braves mascot) was actually named that for "Knock-A-Homer" (home run). I had honestly just thought it was the Indian pronunciation of his name, and had nothing to do with baseball...wow! So embarrassing to realize how many times since childhood I had referenced him & never realized what I was saying...ugh. But, my husband sure got a great laugh out of it! Haha These are awesome, I really enjoyed reading them - thanks for the laughs ladies!

I remember feeling dumb when I learned this in like...7th grade health class, and totally pretending I already knew, lol. My school had co-ed health class, and all the other girls either knew or were pretending like I was, because none of the girls said anything, but the boys went nuts, not a single one of them knew, haha.

Imagine how weird our pee streams would be if it actually came out of our vaginas. And how would tampons work if that were the case? hahaha. Thank goodness for pee holes. )
@cameronreed hahahah it would be like a faucet. Soooo much pee. But for real one of the stories I read was when a girl said a tampon was too dry to take out, so her friend suggested maybe she should pee a little so she could remove it and they looked at her like what?? Lol.
This thread was on baby center originally and I tried to find it so that I could show you guys but it didn't work lol
