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.

My daughter asked her grandfather if he used to drive a rusty camel back in the black and white days. She was 5.

When I was young, I looked at my mums photos of when she was a kid, they were black and white, then i saw some photos of her as a teenager and they were in colour but of a bad quality. I asked why her kid photos were black and white and why the colour photos were not so good. she explained but i didn't understand. So i asked my dad and he told me that the world used to be black and white, and then colour slowly came into the world. i thought that was a resonable answer, lol. until i learn't otherwise.

When i was little and saw black and white photos, i thought that the world had no colour 'back then' and that colour was invented and then added to everything.

When I saw black&white pictures of people in the past and stuffes, I thought the whole world was that color, and that the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' brought the world to color.

I remember going to Disney World when I was about 8 and being astonished that Lucille Ball had red hair. I had only ever seen I Love Lucy in black and white and thought everything was black and white, not just tv.

Amoo

I once asked my dad 'when you were little were you in black and white?'

So I guess I believed that lol XD

When i was little i used to beleive that people from "The Olden Days" were black and white and there was no colour because of old pictures and movies.I just htough that someone inveneted colour and painted everything. i beleived this until i was about 8 when i asked my nan what it was like to live without colour.

i used to think that when i would see a picture in black and white that it was how things used to be like everything was black and white. so i asked my mom one day "mom, when u were growing up were the vegetables black and white, ya no the carrots and cucumbers and stuff?" she just started to laugh and laugh and then she finally explained to me that only the pictures were printed in black and white, not actual life.

I remember once, my Grandma gave me her crystal ball to look at. I think it was to keep me quiet and entertained - while she chatted to my Mother. I sat there for ages staring into this crystal ball. Finally, I went and asked my Grandma if the pictures would be in black and white or colour! I guessed that as the "ball" was old - it might be in black and white - but it should be showing me the future.....she laughed, but I'm still non the wiser.

I used to believe that the advent of color movies / television coincided with the discovery of color itself. I thought that the real world was colorless prior to the 1930s.

I remember asking my mother when I was about five years old, "how old were you when the world turned colour?" I had seen black & white movies from the 1950s, & knew my mother was born before that, & thought that watching the world turn colour would have been pretty cool.

I used to believe that the world was black and white before I was born due to old photographs. When my Mom would show me old pictures of herself or our family, I would always say, "Was that taken, when the world was black and white, Mommy?" Somehow I believed that my birth miraculously caused the world to be filled with color. What a little ego right???

Lia

I used to believe that before colour tv's were around, everything was black and white. When I looked in the tv guide and next to an old movie it would say "B&W" I would look outside and imagine that the trees were black and white. I asked mum if she liked it when colour was invented. She gave me a funny look, so I said "By the way, who invented colour?"

Caitlyn :-)

through watching too much tv. I was convinced that the world had no colour until they invented the colour tv. A world in black and white. It disturbed me to find out the truth.

I once had a friend that told me her grandma was so old that she came from the time where the clouds were blue and the sky was white. I laughed, but it mistified me. I told her right back that leprechauns put 4-leaf clovers in your yard and that i had seen so for myself. Then i found one... stuck two together and ripped off leaves.

I used to believe that the world was black and white before The Wizard Of Oz because I knew that The Wizard Of Oz was the first colored movie so I thought that was same with real life.

I used to believe that the only colors in the world were black and white, until God came and spread a big rainbnow over the whole world and everything was colored.

Nancy

when my son was little, he asked me if I used to live in a castle when I was a girl and if everything in the world was in black and white.
I also told my children I was 21 on every birthday for about 10 years.
