When I was younger I thought MTV was an x-rated station because I thought M stood for Mature.
A childhood belief about tv

others believed things like this
- ‘Unadulterated’ meant that something wasn’t rated 18+ and was therefore safe for kids— Evie
- When I was little, I thought that if you stood behind the TV, you could see your insides on the screen.— C.W.
- When I was young I thought that after pulling out off a petrol station the car would go faster— Amine
- When I was little, I thought that since boys stood up to pee, they could stand up to poop.— Lacey
- I thought that I could get a suntan if I stood really close to a fire for long enough.— Mat
- i used to believe (because my dad told me so) that AM stood for "awful music" and FM stood for "fine music"— skydvgrl
