When I was about 9 I used to believe that the Romans were Catholics (why else would we have Roman Catholics?). I even wrote this into a school essay. I also used to believe that the German city of Bonne produced dolls, because I was given a doll from someone who had visited Germany, and someone else said it was a "bonnie wee doll". I'm Scottish.
