When I was in kindergarten, I was convinced I could dig my way out of a sandbox and off to China.
I once thought a vent in my hotel room led down to the center of the earth.
When i was little, i use to believe that mountains where actually dead dinosaurs covered in dirt.
I used to believe the earth was a giant sphere that we lived inside of, sort of like a snow-globe. I thought if I walked to the edge of the ground, I would be able to touch the sky.
When I was little, we were driving through the Appalachian Mountains. My mom referred to a mountain we passed as a "hill" because she was from Colorado and used to the Rocky Mountains. For years, I thought I'd seen a hill that reached the clouds.
when i was little i was convinced that rocks grew, i had seen big boulders and little pebbles so it made sense that the boulders were grown up rocks and the pebbles were baby rocks i would ask my mom if rocks grew she told me no but i thought she was lying
i used to believe the sunset was better in California cause it was closer to the sun
I used to believe that the hills were buried dinosaurs.
I used to think that piles of rocks that farmers would pick out of fields were actually for a 'rock farm'. You would plant sand in the ground and you would get rocks in a few years!
When I was in first grade, I got a book about what would happen if you were able to dig through the earth. It explained that the earth had a "thin crust" and below it was many different layers of rock. My sister and I, not realizing that the "thin crust" was still several hundred feet thick, decided to dig to the rock layer. Since we lived in New England, about two inches into digging we hit a large rock. We decided that this was the rock layer and were very pleased with ourselves.
When I was little, I used to believe that the tops of trees touched the sky.
Having grown up in the city, I thought that pavement was the natural state of the world, that lawns were where the cement had been removed, and that curbs were how deep the soil was.
When I was 4, my 5 year old brother convinced me that the weather forecasters lived in the cracks in the earth. (We lived back a dirt lane and anytime it was dry the ground cracked on the surface) I felt bad for them so used to yell down to them to keep them company. I also shoved cookies and crackers through the holes in case they got hungry.
when i was small i used to believe that the sand in the desert was filled by the builders who did not need that sand anymore, and when i got to the actual reason for the desert being full of sand i was shocked and suprised too :-)
When i was about 7, i used to believe after sunset sun goes into the see.
