When I was little, everytime we came to a traffic light with a crosswalk and the stop hand was flashing, I would start chanting "stop, stop, stop" until the red stop hand finally stopped. I really believed I was stopping it!
A childhood belief about traffic lights
others believed things like this
- I thought if 3 cards stopped at a 3-way stop sign then they had to stop forever until Christmas.Anon
- i used to believe (when i was little) i could make the wind stop and start by saying, "stop" and "start"— Ali
- When I was young, I used to belive that
if you pushed the stop button in the bus it would stop for good.— Tom (Norway) - I used to think that Mice controlled the Stop lights and crosswalk signs.Anon
- My teacher held out a hand to say, "stop" but I thought she wanted a high-five.Anon
- I used to believe that once you get older you stop farting.Anon
