I used to think that the WORLD used to be black and white, due to hearing some relative say "back when we were black and white", meaning "when I was younger". :]

When I was a kid I thought that "back in the old days" everything was black and white because I used to see old pictures of my gramma and granpa which were black and white.

I used to believe that just like movies, life was once in black and white too. And one day, everything just became colorful.

I used to believe that the world was black and white until technicolor came out. I was watching "Wizard of Oz" with my grandmother and I asked her what it was like living without color. oops

I used to believe that the world was actually black and white. (As it is on TV in old movies)

When I was little I used to believe that the world was black and white when my parents were children (because of black and white TV). I thought everything was black and white and that colors were something that had been invented by someone.

I used to watch old black and white tv shows and think that the everything in the world was black and white back then.

I used to believe that the whole reason they tore down the Berlin Wall was because of all the graffiti on it. Silly me. :oP

Until I was about 13, I believed that the Gulf War took place near the Gulf Of Mexico....

When I was somewhere between 7 and 10 we had to read a book about the atomic bombs dropped on Japan (this was in the 80s, not the 50s). The book was written from the perspective of the Japanese, and we were suppossed to be learning not to be ethnocentric (which is great). However, somehow it escaped me that my own country had dropped the bomb (maybe I'd have been more scared if I'd known we did something like that). I also didn't get it that atomic bombs hadn't been used since WWII. For weeks I'd stare at the ceiling of my bedroom waiting for a bomb to fall through and nuke me.
