When I was 7 years old, I used to believe that the moon was a ball of snow.

My grandmother had a swimming pool. She told me that if we went swimming at night, and it was a full moon, we could get a moon tan. I asked her if that were true, why didn't they sell moonscreen?

i used to believe, very far below, right at the bottom of space there were huge treasure trunks full of giant rubies and pearls and fairies and giants guarded them.it was all really pretty

hello

i used to think we were inside the earth then i thought how do rockets lift off and we cant be on the other side or we will float away then my mom told me the we are on the outside

As a kid it was always my dream to go on a space ship (which I pictured like an airplane) and ask the piolit to stop right as we were entering earth so when I looked out my window half would be outer space and half would be earth, as if there was a distinct line seperating the two. I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

I used to believe that a man lived on the moon and he would talk to me when we drove around at night in the car.
Until I was old enough to realize that it was my Mom's voice doing the talking.

I believed that my family and I lived on Earth, and the rest of the people lived in other planets, like Pluto and Mars and Saturn.

i used to believe that if a star fell from the sky, the earth would go up to take its place.

when i was little i thought the moon was a cookie

RETRO KID

I thought that the moon wasn't cheese, but quite possibly a cookie. I got this belief from watching Rugrats, where in a certain episode, the babies imagined themselves as dinosaurs and wanted to eat the moon, since it WAS a cookie. The way they showed it, the moon looked kinda tasty.

mmm... TASTY!!!

I believed that the sun sets and rise again as a moon until it was studied in my first Science class.

I remember when when I thought that the clouds turned over to make it night outside and the sun turned off, and that was the moon

I used to think Sissy Spacek and Kevin Spacey were astronauts and that they lived on Venus.

I used to believe that the planet Earth just like other planets is far way from us in the sky where we see stars and we live on a place with a ground and trees and everything else

when i was little i thought the sun was a giant light bulb

RETRO KID

When I was small, perhaps 4 or 5, I found an atlas with a fold-out picture of the solar system. I showed the Sun and the planets spaced about it, the asteroid belt between the Mars and the outer solar system, and so on.

I could not conceive how these things would be floating around out there, so I reasoned, since things fall on Earth, they must be falling out there too. Only they had to fall all at the same rate to stick together and still be a solar system. What they were falling toward I never defined.

I also thought there must have been balls of gravity to which the dust from interstellar space stuck to form the planets...in the same way lint sticks to tape when your mother dresses you up in uncomfortable clothes to go to a wedding and you played with the dog and now Mom has to get tape and take all the dog hair off your nice clothes.

I also remember being amazed to learn the Germans used the same numbers we do. Sneaky bunch, stealing our numbers.

i used to belive that when they went to the moon they could woal around the whole thing and it was like a mile around, be cause it looked so small from earth

I use to believe that the earth was one huge round rock which was in space and where I was standing was a rock reflecting that rock which is earth.
