What is that one silly thing you believed in your youths that makes your head spin when thinking back?

Lmao. I had so many silly beliefs as a kid. They were honestly too many to count but I think the most silly one was that I thought people didn't breathe when they slept. As a kid, I was talking to my dad one day and I had a cold. So I was breathing through my mouth because my nostrils were blocked. Then I was complaining about it to him and he said

"It's not that big a deal, it's just snot." I couldn't believe that he couldn't see how big a deal having a blocked nose was. So I told him I just wanted to go to bed and rest. He said sleep wouldn't cure the blocked nose and I said it didn't matter because I wouldn't be breathing while I slept so it wouldn't worry me.

The look on his face was confusion at first. Then he realized that I honestly felt people didn't breathe while they slept. Now the thing with my family is that we never keep laughs to ourselves. So my dad called the entire family to hear what I had said and I was looking at these adults like they were dummies that didn't know something was so obvious. They just laughed and I laughed too and we were all laughing at each other. But right now I don't even know why I ever thought that. It's just so ridiculous
