When I was very small,I thought that brains were three Duracell batteries stacked on top of each other(in a pyramid shape).If I remember correctly,I learned otherwise when my mother said something about someone having "lots of brains" and I asked how all the batteries fit.I think she and my grandmother laughed at me...
A childhood belief about general
