I got this from a Jenna marbles video, it made me laugh a lot and the comments too, so I decided to ask you guys for more laughs, and tell you some of mine.

When I was younger my mother told me not to be afraid of "burgalers" because they were scared of people, and if they ever saw us they would run away... leading me to believe that they weren't human but some kind of animal/alien/monster that were scared of humans.

The older kids at school found a condom in the playground, I was too small to see over them to see it. I could just hear them like "OMG it's a condom" " don't touch it, don't touch it, it's dangerous" " ew it's disgusting"... so I then thought for many years that a condom was some sort of insect, like a beetle or something. I used to ask family members if they'd ever seen a condom... most of them we're horrified.

I used to think that all factories were "cloud factories" and the fumes were actually just clouds.

I once found lube in my mothers bedroom, I askedher what it was and she, very inventively, told me tthat it was used on your elbows and knees for going down a slide... I brought my friends round to the house to ask my mum if we could use her special sliding gel... I also did a demonstration for a family friend on how to use my mothers special sliding gel.

And my family had to move to a different country. I would have been like four or five and totally against the idea of leaving my friends,love birds and trees behind. My favourite brother convinced me the sky would look a very pretty fuschia pink in the new country. So I agreed.
Hahaha, was he still your favorite brother after you found out that he lied to you?

It took me forever to understand black and white tv/films. I thought that before a certain time everything was seen in black and white. My parents obviously didn't explain it to me very well, either.
Lol. Awee.

On this notion, as a child i thought people on tv could see me as well ...i did a few tests and still was not convinced. Cause there was always this nagging doubt.

Also the concept of age differences. I kept on arguing with my brother i will reach his age and then we would be equal ....lmao.

Eventually, i understood.

There seems to have been a lit of issues with TVs haha

"Please do not fuck dogs... this is not normal"

It's the new religion ...opium, numbing. I do recognize it's appeal and also it's validitiy but the rubbish on it overweighs any wish to own one again. Besides, you can find what you need online.

Exactly. I watched the tv recently and I honestly couldn't believe the amount of adverts, every 10 minutes... brainwashing.

One of the biggest let down was from watching Tom & Jerry. You know when they chase each other around the table, and there's a big feast on display...

It looked so good, I felt like everything had to be as delicious as it looked on the cartoon. Especially the gruyere. So I asked my mom to buy some...it was DISGUSTING!
Haha, I always wanted to eat the food in the film Hook, you know when they have an imaginary food fight... all that colourful playdough type stuff... it looked delicious to me.

Privacy? In what sense/context?

People in the TV looking back at you? I mean...if you can sense their movements and what they say and how you look....this "trespass" into their privacy could apply both ways.

I used to sit in front of the tv as a child and have full blown conversations with news reporters and scream at people who were talking to each other thinking they were ignoring me, I also used to wonder in between scene changes how one scene suddenly skips to another that the split second space in between was darkness and used to wonder what was there

I had a shower with my mum and saw her vagina and I called it a duck and that's what I always called her, this was when I was 3

I too thought black and white film represented olden days, my mum told me people dug up the ground and found out the way people lived in ancient times and I imagined black and white people digging underground and living underground lol

My friend told me in primary school that men stuff their balls in women and that's how they have babies and I believed it.

I used to think if you pulled leaves off trees they wouldn't breathe and was like being in space for them and I felt sorry for them and got into a fight with a kid for doing it.
