my sisters led me to believe that there were very small men inside traffic lights who would control the lights when they saw the cars lining up.

my parents also managed to convince me that the television only worked for the half hour sesame street was on. when i went to other kids' houses and saw their televisions on all the time my parents convinced me that they had special televisions. i don't know why i didnt just try to turn the thing on.

I used to believe that there was a little man that lived in the traffic light drinking tea and he changed it when he saw someone coming!!

i used to believe that the way traffic lights changed colour was by a little man living inside the traffic lights. every time the colour changed i thought he had moved, i.e if the lights were red he was standing inside the red light, if the lights were green he was standing inside the green light.

For some strange reason when I was little, I believed that monkeys sat in traffic lights to change them for traffic. I guess that came from being A Flintstones fan!!!

When I was a child I thought that stop lights had little devils inside of them that changed the signals from green to yellow to red and back.

The little devil used levers to change the lights. He looked like the little devil on the Underwood Deviled Ham labels.

I used to believe that there were little men that lived in the boxes on some street corners and they were there to change the street lights for the drivers.

When I was three; I firmly believed that elves lived inside the red lights, and that they had some sort of messaging system that told them to hold up a red/green/yellow ball up to the hold. It was a greatly amusing thing to think about at the age of three.

When I was little I used to think that there were little people who lived in the traffic lights, so I used to wave at them, thinking that they would change for us if we were nice.

I used to believe there were little knomes living in traffic lights changing the colors from red to yellow to green.

When I was a kid my dad could always tell when the traffic lights were going to change grees so I believed that there were monkeys inside traffic lights and that is what made them change

"Traffic lights are operated by monkies inside of them" or so a very reliable source informed me.

I used to believe that little knomes worked in the traffic lights and changed them when it was time for someone else to go.

Kristin

I used to believe there were small men who lived in the traffic lights and made them change color. Sorta like the rice crispy fellas.

I used to think that little men lived inside traffic lights and when the lights changed to red they had to colour in the green circle before the lights changed! Odd, I know!
