As a child I read on a sign once "apply within" and at the time I thought it had something to do with apples!
A childhood belief about reading

others believed things like this
- I thought for the longest time that a No Standing traffic sign meant no person should stand near that sign.— Shannon
- i used to think mashed potatos were made from apples becouse they were the same color(i was a very slow child)— apples and ornges
- A billboard sign read: Moonshine kills.
I thought being caught outside by the moon would kill me. Humph.Anon - i used to associate the word appetite with apples, if you ate apples, you had an appetite. — elly
- I used to believe that a street sign that read "Dead End" meant that there were dead people buried there.Anon
- I was told that your belly button is where you put salt when you eat apples in bed.— Shurnuff
