Re: As a child, what is something silly or weird you believed?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought that when two people fell in love and got married, their families always automatically hated each other, like out of Romeo and Juliet. I had no explanation for why they would hate each other, but I guess I had absorbed the idea that true love in spite of obstacles is what happens in stories and therefore must be what happens in real life. My grandparents used to all live near each other, but they retired and both sets moved apart when I was very little, so growing up I never saw both sides of my family together at once. Thus, I had no evidence to the contrary that my parents had experienced an epic love story wherein their parents each hated their child's in-law's guts. Then one day one of my grandmothers mentioned she had been friends with my other grandparents. She couldn't figure out why I was so shocked to hear that.

This isn't as silly, but I long thought that WWI had been referred to as "The War to End All Wars" in the sense that it was just a really, really big war - the biggest to-date. Like how you might say "Look at this burrito. It's huge! This is the burrito to end all burritos!" I had no idea there was another, far more hubristic meaning of "If the right side wins, there will be no more wars."

My grandparents used to live in Long Beach, California and for a while I thought Long Beach was just some giant retirement community and I was confused when I saw some kids playing there. I thought they must also be visiting their grandparents.

Funnily enough, my dad grew up in Long Beach! My grandparents had moved away by the time I can remember ever visiting them, so I have no memories of Long Beach, if I ever even went there.

there are a lot of really old TV shows that do that "hateful in-laws" cliche or trope or whatever you want to call it so I can understand why kid!you would think that was the way it always goes.
