When I first heard about the Cold War, I though it was called that because it snowed all the time during iT.
I used to think the world was black and white. I thought black and white movies had no color because no one had invented color and everything existed in shades of gray. I was really glad they had invented color before I was born so I could eat a red apple and lay on green grass.
Chloe
Because of black and white photographs and television, I used to believe that the entire world was black and white before they invented color.
Autumn
I used to believe that the entire world was black and white, but then a rainbow exploded and the entire world was colored. I asked my mom once what living in a black and white world was like, and she laughed at me.
Jen
I used to think that the Stone of Scone in Scotland was actually a giant scone that had been baked wrong and come out like hard rock. I thought that the scottish clans used to deliberately bake their scones like this to throw at their enemies - and this was where the term "sconning someone" came from. I believed this up until a year ago. I'm 24 now.
Holly R
I used to believe that since movies and pictures were in black and white, that things from those times must have been in black and white, too. One time I asked my mom what it was like for her when the world changed to color. It took her a while to figure out what I was talking about!
Christi
When I was younger I used to watch black and white videos like the little Rascals and Abbot and Costello with my father. I thought that everything back in those days when they filmed those videos, was black and white. My tiny brain at the time would always wonder what it was like with no color in the world
Dave
When I was a child I used to think that the world was black and white in the past, like in the movies.
Marta
When I was four, I thought George Washington was the current president and Abraham Lincoln was the vice president, because their pictures were up on the wall at daycare for President's Day. I remember having a heated argument with my mother when she tried to tell me that Ronald Reagan was the president.
Kathryn
that the world was black and white back in the "old" days. I got this impression from all the black and white shows I used to watch as a kid (Andy Griffith Show, Leave it to Beaver, etc...)
Messed up huh?
