you know the saying "fall back, spring forward"? When we set the clocks back an hour in the fall, I thought we were actually traveling back in time by 1 hour. I thought we had to redo everything we did in the past hour. And when we set them forward in the spring, I thought we were traveling 1 hour into the future. I didn't understand why we did it every year. I wondered "Why should we travel back in forth in time so much?" haha, I was stupid...

For about 4 years (I was aged 8 to 12 approx) I was scared of 10.24pm on my radio alarm clock, if I was in bed I'd look at my clock when it was 10.23 and closed my eyes and count for 2mins just to make sure it was past 10.24. I was convinced this was the real witching hour and midnight was just a red herring to make kids think they're safe. To this day I still close my eyes if i am aware of it being that time (I'm 20 now) it's weird the things that stick in your mind!!!

when i was like in the first grade i would like to stay up late on the weekends, but my mom would always tell me to go to sleep. well, one night i stayed up all the way to midnight, but i was so scared that the devil would come through my floor and get me, since i heard that 12:00 was the "bewitching hour". i finally got over staying up past midnight, every once in awhile, i get scared again and go to bed.

My birthdate is 6 June, which is the anniversary of the D-Day landings, and my first name is Dawn. I used to believe, right up to my teens, that D-Day stood for "Dawn's Day".

One day when I was 9, I was convinced that the world would end at around noon because the exact time and date would be 12:34:56 July 8, 1990 (or in number format, 12:34:56 7/8/90 -1234567890)

When I was little, our neighbors moved "halfway around the world" according to my parents. They said it was tommorow where they lived. From then on, I always wanted to call them to see what the weather would be like

When I was little I thought that all you had to do to time travel into the future was to run really fast in a straight line. One day I went to my brother's track meet and asked my parents why he wasn't in the future yet, and they explained. Ha.

I always thought 24/7 meant the time period for one day: 24 hours and 7 minutes. This made me wonder what happened to those seven minutes each day on the clock. I figured there were some extra before midnight: 11:58, 11:59, 11:60, 11:61, all the way to 11:66 when it finally changed to 12:00. This surprised me New Years Eve when everyone said, "One minute till midnight!" and I said "No, it's in EIGHT minutes. You forgot the extra seven."

I used to think if you stared at a clock the time wouldn't move and i used to be amazed at how fast it would change when i blinked.

When I was little, I asked my mom what Labor Day was. She told me it was a day when all grown-ups didn't have to work, and kids had to do chores all day. I avoided my parents all day on Labor Day so that I wouldn't have to work!

My dad once told me that a button on his watch, when pushed, would "beam him up" to another time. I was afraid to hold his watch-hand for fear of touching it by accident.

I remember my first leap year. I remember seeing the calander had an extra day for the month of February, and I began to think that every year, February added another day to the month. I figured it out the next year when there were only 28 days again.

You know the saying "Don't wear white after labor day"? Well I used to think that you couldn't wear white at all because "after labor day" lasted up until the next labor day so I never ever wanted to wear white. I believed that until age 13. That's when I finally asked my dad and he told me that it was from labor day until easter.
