When my daughter was little she used to believe that there were tiny men inside the traffic lights that changed the colours each time the lights changed.

I used to think that there was a little person sitting inside traffic lights and decided when to make the light green red and yellow.

When I was little my dad told me that monkeys lived inside the stoplights. I used to picture them in there eating vanilla icecream (cuz that was my favorite ice cream at the time)

When I was little and we were going somewhere on a trip in the car. As we approached a stoplight, I actually believed there were little people inside the stoplights that would change the light when it was safe to change it, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I used to think that traffic lights were actually operated by tiny people who worked inside the wide base of each pole.

When I used to drive around with my mom, we would stop at traffic lights, (Like everyone on the road usually does), but I thought that little mice lived inside the light bulbs, so I would yell at the "mice" to turn the light green.

When I was a little kid, I thought that traffic lights were controlled by toucans (like Toucan Sam from Froot Loops). I thought that there was a toucan in each and every traffic light and that there was a candle set behind each color of the lights; red, yellow and green. So, the toucan would light the appropriate candle and blow out the other candle when the time came.

And those flashing lights... Or when a traffic light was broken and just the red light or just the yellow light would be flashing... Well, I thought that was because an evil Keebler Elf had made his way into the traffic light and was repeatedly blowing out the toucan's candles.

I used to believe that there was a little person inside each of the traffic lights. They had three buttons, and would push one to change the light.
