When i was about 5 up until i was about 7 i used to believe that New York was on the other side of the mountains. So everytime my family and i went on a trip to the mountains i use to always say "yeah i'm going to New York!" Then wonder why we never ended up there later.

After playing halo, i began to think that the world was actually a huge megastructure, which explained iron deposits deep in the earth's crust. When i learned that things like iron and coal were made from compression of dead organisms, that thought collapsed on itself.

I once saw some hills in or near the desert around Kern, CA that looked tan with dark blotches on them. My dad told me they were cows eating grass. I figured it out that he was joking, but I still look twice to catch the herd moving.

Before I began kindergarten, I believed the earth was a massive land with lots of giant ponds splashed around here and there. I was absolutely devasted at seeing how small it was on a teacher's globe. I still remember seeing how small the continents were, surrounded by all of the blue, and felt so small and meaningless.

I used to believe that when I lay on the grass on my back on a summers'day and watched the white clouds roll across the sky-that I was actually experiencing the earth spinning.
I really thought I could feel the earth moving beneath me. It was wonderful and greatly humbling at the same time.

My roommate told me that when she was young, she would see the large round bales of hay laying in fields and further down the road she would see cows in the fields, so she assumed that the hay bales were cow eggs.

I use to believe that where I saw the sky end is where the world ended and it was only just a few miles.

I used to believe that bugs had their homes inside of rocks behind the shiny "windows" of biotite mica. Our garden had numerous granite rocks and the mica appeared as utterly flat and shiny black pieces about as big as a fingernail.

When I was learing briefly about plate techtonics and they siade "Under the ground the Earth moves" so I thought that the dead people under the ground would be split up into teeny tiny pieces and shifted underground.

When I was little like 6, I use to think a monster sallowed the world and the moon was his mouth so at random time I would yell let me out!

i used to believe that all the people stayed inside the round earth because if we stayed on the earth then there are chances that we might fall down(because of its round shape!!)

I used to think that when going up a hill, and you couldn't see sny more of the road because it was on the other side, that we were driving near the end of the world, and were going to fall off, but when we didn't, i came to the conclusion that we just fell into another dimention.
