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!

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

When I was a child I used to think that the world was black and white in the past, like in the movies.

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.

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?

Watching TV in B&W, I thought that 'in the olden days', there was no color, that people walked around in their B&W lives.

I used to belive Adolf Hitler was called "Adult Hitler". I asked my mother "Why do people alway cough when they Hitlers first name. Until i was 10 i relized Adolf was his name and not Adult. :S

Oh Dear . .

I always wondered, why people in the past only wore black and white clothes...

Because all the pictures of my mum and dad as kids were in black and white, I used to believe that the whole world was black and white when they were little.
