When I was younger (don't want to mention exact age out of embarassment), I believed that we lived INSIDE the world. My point of revelation came when I was reading about the Great Flood in the Bible. I told my mom it didn't make sense because Noah and his family would have drowned when the water reached the top. She realized she had a lot of explaining to do!
