The song "America The Beautiful" with its last line "From sea to shining sea" had me perplexed for quite some time. I puzzled arduously over which, of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, was shining and which was not.
A childhood belief about songs

- When I was a child I used to believe that stars were holes in the sky & we could see heaven shining through— June
- I used to believe all the stars in the sky were really just aliens with flashlights shining them at Earth.— Lyssy
- When I was in kindergarten, I thought the last line of "America" was "Great God our kid." — CC
- At the time I thought the moon was made of cheese and with oceans of cheese— 123
