30+ Dumbest Things People Believed As A Child That Made Them Realize They Were Actually Just Trolled By Adults
People on Twitter are sharing the dumbest things they believed in when they were children, and some of them are truly hilarious.
If there's one thing that brought us shallow happiness as kids, it's probably all the things we believed back then that we now realize were actually silly. It makes you think that we were just fooled by our parents and other adults for the heck of it.
Well, we can't blame ourselves for believing anything presented to us—we didn't have much life experience... yet. As adults, it is also quite fun to talk with kids and enjoy how easily gullible they are. We begin to realize we were actually on the other side of it when we were younger, blissfully unaware.
It's amusing to look back at all the things we used to believe, making us want to face-palm ourselves for our naivety. But hey, we were just kids! Now, they are just fun memories that we laugh at because of how ridiculously naive and unguarded we were.
When Twitter user Dr. Daniel Marven asked, "What is the dumbest thing you believed as a child?" on the platform, people shared some of the most hilarious revelations about the kinds of lies their parents and other adults told them to keep them out of trouble. Some adults did this just to troll children, and at this age, we can't exactly blame them!

Oh, to be young and naive—we all took it for granted, didn't we? While it may be funny to think about now, you can't deny that these are certainly highlights of our childhood.
How about you? Did you believe something an adult told you when you were just a kid, only to realize later that you were actually just trolled?
