I used to believe that the black lines that divide states were actualy on the earth. We used to drive from Missouri to Maryland and I'd always watch for the lines, but because I never saw them (duh) I thought Missouri was just HUGE.
I figured it out when I was 8
A childhood belief about places

- I always thought the connectors on the telephone lines were flying turtles.— Angie B
- I thought the lines in the sky left behind by airplanes were "sky scrapers". Makes sense.Anon
