When I was a kid they always had commercials for vacations to Jamaica where all the happy island people were singing and playing guitar. I didn't know there was more than one Jamaica so when we took the train to Jamaica, Queens I was really surprised.

When I was growing up San Francisco was the only city I had ever seen so I thought that all cities had hills. I was sure that in order to be a city it would have to have hills - boy was Los Angeles a surprise for me!

I remember thinking that Indiana was India, and it was part of the United States. I remember thinking how cool it was to live in the same country as Aladdin (don't ask).

When I was 5 years old, my parents took me to Colonial Williamsburg. I thought that the whole town was some sort of natural phenomena, like the grand canyon and Old Faithful. I thought that in like, the 1600's, the pilgrims, upon discovering this place, must have thought it was some idealistic representation of a faraway future.

I used to believe that the Netherlands was Hell.

Once when I was vacationing with my parents in England, they suggested we go to see Greenwich Mean Time. I protested tremendously because I didn't want to go to a place where people were mean to each other. Instead I requested we go to Greenwich Nice Time. Naturally, we stayed entirely away from Greenwich.
