A childhood belief about in the street

When I was in first grade, I believed that each family had their own unique zip code, which was used as a means of identification. So when we learned how address envelopes in school one day, I was shocked and angry to discover that the teacher had put MY zip code up on the board for everyone else to use! I immediately raised my hand and stated, 'But that's MY zip code! You can't use it!' My teacher had to explain to me that everyone within the surrounding area got to use the same zip code. Hrmph. I still thought I should be the only one allowed to use it.
