i used to believe that I could not make a camera self- potrait since I would have to stare in the lens & pose ( with a smile) at the same time! (impossible!!!!!)

if someone took a photo of you, you were trapped forever in the photo, never to return.

okay I am older than most of you but I believed the stereo only came on when my mother sang. It always made me want to put on socks and skate around on the hardwood floors she had just waxed. This only happened in the house. In the garden when she sang I would accompany her music on the bucket I was picking in and sing along. I would still pick her out of a line of all the mothers available. She taught me work should be fun.

Growing up a Detroit Tigers fan, I thought that all alkaline batteries were being endorsed by Tiger Hall of Famer: Al Kaline. A-L K-A-L-I-N-E due to his power and the batteries being powerful also!

I used to think that installing the Windows operating system would turn your computer into a window! Then you could see the magic bubbles (pixles)that made the pictures on the screen and make your own picture!!(i used to think that as well!)

I used to believe that email addresses were real websites, so when I was 5 and my friend's mom gave me her email in case, I typed it in and got really mad because nothing poped up.

My father worked in an auto parts plant and would tell us about the dirty, oily machines and vats he had to work around. One time he was talking about a conversation he had with his co-worker about being assigned to a particularly unwelcome task, and he said, "You don't want to work near that machine, there's oil snakes and all sorts of things down in there!"

Being a little kid, I didn't realize he was just being facetious with his co-workerl so for quite a few years, I believed there were actually "oil snakes" that lived among the machinery he worked on. I don't know why I thought an auto parts factory would have snakes in the machinery, guess I just never thought about it...

I used to think that it was only weak lasers that just made a dot of light. I thought that with Reaaly powerful ones, you could see the lazer beam. Then i was told that the readon you could see the beam sometimes was that the test room was full of dust!

i was reasonable, right?

When I was about four, I'd call my Grandmama up every day to tell her how things were invented. Our conversations went like this:
"Grandmama! Guess how the toaster was invented?"
"How?"
"Well, the cavemen went to the city and picked up some rubbish from the streets, like soda cans, juice boxes, and old socks. Then Fred Flintstone melted them all together and made a toaster!!"
