When my husband was little he used to believe,that a button for light-on was for calling a Fire Bigade. For many years he was walking up the stairs in complete darkness...After that "training" he wouldn't need to switch the light on even when he returned to his home after a year spent on studies.
A childhood belief about around the house

All I had todo was step of a flight of stairs and I'd be walking in the air...— Dolly - I used to believe there was a newsreader inside the radio where the light was!!— Christine
