When I was just starting to read I remember believing the "pass with care" signs said "pass white car"-- I even told my parents to never buy a white car or we'll be passed all the time. They never made the connection.
A childhood belief about road signs

others believed things like this
- I used to believe the Do Not Pass signs on the roads meant you were'nt aloud to pass the sign. I was 14.Anon
- I used to think that we were breaking a law every time my mom passed a "Do Not Pass" sign on the road. — Kyra
- Remember the old Tubes song "White Punks on Dope". Thought they were singing "White Folks are Dumb"
— WailerMan - that if you had fun, time would literally pass by faster— paul
- I used to believe that you could pass things down the telephone.Anon
- When I was little, I used to believe that if you see a star pass through the sky you have to make a wish.— Luis
