30+ Dumbest Things People Believed As A Child That Made Them Realize They Were Actually Just Trolled By Adults
If there's one thing that has made us have so much shallow happiness when we were kids, it's probably because of all the things we believed back then that we didn't realize were actually dumb, now that we look back to them as an adult. It just makes you go thinking that we were just fooled by our parents and other adults back then, just for the heck of it.
Well, we can't blame ourselves for believing anything that was presented to us—we did not have really much life experience...yet. As adults, it is also quite fun talking with kids and just enjoying how easily gullible they are and we will begin to realize we were actually at the other side of it back when we were younger and just happily dumb.
It's fun to look back at all of the things that we used to believe, making us want to face-palm ourselves for believing such things but hey, we were just kids! Now, they are just some 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, the people delivered some of the most hilarious revelations of the kinds of lies that their parents and other adults told them to keep out of trouble. Some adults would just do this to troll the heck out of children, and at this age, we can't exactly blame them!

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