My 3 year old niece wanted to know what color her swing set was. She was told it had been red but that the sun faded it out. She tells the sun every day that her favorite color is purple in the belief that the sun will change it to that color.

That crickets chirping were actually the stars twinkling.

When I was 6 I believed that on nice summer days you can see the world spin if you just look hard enough :)

My brother and I used to believe that the Moon had invisible legs. When riding in the back seat with our parents, we were always amazed how the Moon was able to keep up and we could never see it's legs.

During a very long car ride to the ocean, I came to the conclusion that the moon was actually a reflection of Earth, and if I looked hard enough, I really could see my family's car moving on the surface.

When I was a kid, I thought the stars made the chirping noise the crickets make at night, The twinkling seemed to blend with the chirping, so I naturally thougth the stars made the noise.

My sister and I believed that we lived inside the earth and that when they sent shuttles into space someone would have to go up on a giant ladder to patch the hole in the sky.

When I was very young my Grandfather told me how the moon was made of Green Cheese. My evil older sister told me how the moon was important to life everywhere, and if it wasn't here we would all die. She also told me everytime I ate cheese from earth, I was taking it away from the moon, and if I ate too much cheese, the world would colapse. She was always mean.

I used to think that the planets were really expensive airplanes, and they all had rings which were the decks to the plane. I couldn't wait until I was older and rich enough to travel on a planet. And I thought everyone would go out on the decks as we sailed through the sky, to have drinks and snacks.

When I was 6 years old, I thought that if I'll tie about 100 baloons from a rope and I'll get on the other end of it, I'll fly. The single thing that didn't made me jump from a building with 8 levels was the thought: what if there are too many ballons and they'll take me up in the sky and I'll never go down again?

I always saw a crocodile on the moon, none of this man-in-the-moon nonsense

I used to think we didn't live on a planet just on the "ground" and all the planets and stars were up above us. I thought this until one day my mom said something about us living on planet Earth and I said "What we live on a PLANET?"

A friend of mine believed that planets could become pregnant and give birth to new planets. She claimed that she saw a planet-birth on TV.

Needless to say, I was rather confused by hearing this, and spent the next few months wondering whether or not I should believe her. :-)

When I was 7, there was a speical about asteriods, since there was one that was passing by Earth. I didn't understand it correctly, and I thought the asteriod was going to hit Earth and kill everyone. So I bothered my father daily to make a basement to protect us, and when he told me 'no', I made my own fort and would spend all day looking for any asteriods in the sky.

And when I was little I believed that the Moon was really the Earth and there no Moon at all. My mom then confronted me with this question: if that is the Earth, and there is no moon, what are we standing on? I patiently explained to her that there is a huge ziplock baggy hanging from the moon with dirt in it -- and that is what we were standing on.

When I was young I had a plan to shoot big piles of paper up to the sun so it would never burn out.

When i was 11 years old, i belief that when stars are broken, it falls in the see and again it is born as a star fish...

Prem

I used to believe that on the Fourth of July, when they did fireworks, that they were shooting rockets into space and blowing up stars. I would scream and cry because I was scared that the stars pieces would smush me.

I used to believe that when the sun sets, it means it ran out of batteries, and it recharges during the night.

I also believed the sun ran on batteries.
