My younger sister used to be obsessed with the 'land before time' videos and truely believed that the dinosaurs used to live in this 'valley' that we had to drive passed to get to my grandma's house.

when I was very young, i was convinced that all my grandmother did between the times I saw her was stand at her dorr waving.. as it was the last thing she did when we left, and the first thing she did when we arrived. Sometimes i would not see her for weeks and worry that she must get exausted.

I used to believe that if you went on the bumper cars at the funfair you kept on driving until you went off the edge and died. I never went on them.

When I was younger my parents used to go to dinner dances quite often - For years I always pictured my parents jumping up on the table and dancing on their dinner!!

When I was about 10/11 we went on a family trip to London. When there, we went into a museum where it had a miniature display of a room of a country mansion house of the 18th or so Century. I looked through the glass, and thinking myself rather clever, yelled out to my dad "Wow, look at those breasts!". Needless to say every male in the room took a sudden interest in the display as my dad promptly grabbed me away yelling out "Ooooh, you mean BUSTS, Edward, yes BUSTS!" as loudly as he could so everyone could hear.

I've never really lived that down.....

Whenever my parents took me to the beach there was always this beachside road, parallel to the ocean, we had to cross.

I used to think this road ran all around the edge of the country without any interruption.

Michael Howe-Smith

When visiting my grandparents in Devon. I always used to look out for the 'Welcome to Salcombe' sign on the way into their town. My Grandad had told me he always put it out when he knew I was coming - and do you know, he never once forgot !

I used to believe that if you were in an elevator too long you would run out of air and die...this is all thanks to my wonderful sister! Therefore, when on vacation in Las Vegas Hotels, my mother would have one heck of a time getting me up to our room on the 25th floor!

Keri

when my family would go to mexican restaurants, i would ask my mom how the latin man got into the girl's bathroom to sing his songs....when it was really the music playing in the restaurant.

When i was younger i always thought that the 'Model Yacht Pond' was called the 'muddly up pond', it was only when i was 17 that someone told me they thought the same thing and i realised. Everyone says it so quickly that they think it is the same.

I used to believe that the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland took you to a dark place and that you were never able to leave if you didn't get off in time since they have that moving platform.

During the 4th of July, I would scream bloody murder because I thought the fireworks in the sky would fall down on me and burn me up. It was a horrible feeling

Iwas 9 years old.Mother and i where going to a theathre about Edith Piafs life. A famous norwegian actor and songstress Britt Langlie was the main attraction. I was reading the newspaper finding a day. I said to my mother: We will definitlly not go on tuesday and thirsday, then an Inga Frams is playing." My mother started lauhging and tould me that Inga Frams was a shortterm for "No Show" in norwegian dialect. I was very ebbarrasd. After this stupid saying everybody asked me about Inga Frams and how she was doing...

When I was little , I thought the zoo and the circus were one in the same and that when my parents would take me to the zoo I thought "how come they aren't doing tricks like in the circus?"

Once I went to to the circus to see a gigantic (about 4 metres) mechanical King Kong it really scared me, (as I have watched the movie before) so up until I was 7, I used to believe that the exhibition antiaerial guns outside the ministry of defense were to shot down King Kong, in case he ever cut loose from the circus.

I was on a tour of the caverns and was told that if I touched anything the entire place would collapse. I admired the self-control of all the tour guides. Later, I think I touched a wall when no one was looking.

That waterslides were filled to the top with water, so that if you got stuck or didn't go down fast enough, you'd drown. (And I still have those damn "stuck in a waterslide" nightmares)

When I was 7 my parents took me to Disney World and I came out of the It's a Small World ride singing Hit the Plumber on the Head. They really needed better speakers
