When I learned about exchange rates from traveling young, I thought any country whose money went into the dollar was inferior, and any country where the dollar was worth less than their currency was superior. Hence the UK was superior, Canada was inferior, etc. I found out I was wrong in 12th grade but by then convinced a lot of people, including myself, that I knew what countries were superior or not.

I used to believe that Martha's Vineyard was where Martha Stuart lived and filmed her TV show. I imagined that it was full of gardens for her to make her food with.

My Dad told me when i was about 5 that there was a little man behind the ATM that took your card and handed you the cash. He described it to me as kinda like the guy who lives in the top of our garage to open and close the garage door.

I used to believe that if I touched a map or globe with my finger, a giant finger (mine) would come out of the sky and crush the city.

When I was a little kid, I was always fascinated with the globe at my grandmother's house. I believed that the Netherlands was Never-never land, from Peter Pan.

I used to think that checks turned into receipts. I saw the cashier stick my mom's check under the thing that would read it, and above it was the receipt printer. I saw the check go in underneath and the check come out above, so I believed that somehow the check became a receipt.

I used to believe the whitewater scandal meant a bad person polluted water to make it white. I was very cautious when I turned a faucet or drinking fountain.

When I was in kindergarten I used to believe that George Washington was the first president, Abraham Lincoln was the second and Jimmy Carter was the third. I just could never figure out why they started dressing so differently!
