For a while (by which I mean about 12 years) I thought that when people said "pay-per-view", they were really saying "paper view".
I just didnt understand why people would pay to watch a piece of paper...
A childhood belief about tv

others believed things like this
- i used to belive that pay-per-view was paper view.— matt b.
- I used to believe fax machines instantly teleported a piece of paper to who ever you wanted. Anon
- I used to believe that house fires were caused by foolish people who put paper on the stove.— C.C.
- I could NOT understand why, if a pen worked on paper, it couldn't also write in thin air.— Can you guess what it is yet?
- I used to believe people really died in movies. I didnt understand they were just acting.— Justin
- When i was younger up untill i was like 8 or 9 i thought that famous people didnt poop only normal people!!!— kaitlin
