I used to not know the difference between "city" and "building." So when Mom and Dad said the city we lived in was San Jose, I pictured us all living in this giant skyscraper (really big, like city blocks wide and totally hollow)... I assumed that that was where we would go if there was some sort of big emergency... like a natural disaster or something. I had scary dreams about all of us having to leave our house and go live in San Jose (the giant skyscraper)
