It happens to the best of us. We reach adulthood and then look back on the things we did as kids and think, WTF was I thinking? and/or How was I such a colossal dumbass?
Now, if you're reading this and saying to yourself, I was NEVER a dumbass as a child! then this post isn't for you. It's for the rest of us, who might relate a little too hard to these 36 people who DO NOT know who they were as kids:

@sumerianbby I remember when my dad told me that cheese with holes in was called hiccup cheese, because the cows had hiccups when they made it. I carried that until I was 18. Got laughed out the pub. Told the story a couple years later, I was laughed at again for thinking cows made cheese.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my 7 yr old self who secretly ate the entire bag of red hots instead of putting them in my classmates valentines cards. I barfed spicy red barf all night & couldn’t go to school the next day, on the most candy filled day of the year. Lessons were learned.
