My Mother used to tell me that the water towers on the side of the highway were huge public swimming pools. I also used to beg her to take me there. I dreamed it was the greatest place to swim on Earth! She always told me she would take me there if I was a very good girl. Too bad I never made it...Love ya' Mom!

Not only did I believe that bands lined up to play every song live at radio stations, but I believed that radio stations were based in water tower silos, and that the band members had to climb a ladder to get up to the radio broadcast booth.

I used to believe that water towers were detention centres for naughty dolphins

At 5 and 6 my sister and I asked my father what the water storage towers were. Obviously we did not know they were water storage towers. He told us they were orphanages. When at 12 I met a classmate that said he was from an orphanage. I asked him why they didn’t have windows and how did he get up inside them.

When I was little I used to think that the oval-shaped water tower in my home town was a storage chamber for a gigantic dinosaur egg and one day it was going to hatch and crush us like godzilla.
