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.
