When I was about 4 or 5 years old.. I thought that mice lived in the stop lights. I also thought that they wore little uniforms.. (the mouse that worked the red light would wear a red shirt and red hat, etc.) I would watch many cartoons and I believed that the mice were toons.. It took A LOT of explaining for my parents to change my mind!!
