I would always ask my parents where the edge of the world was, and they would tell me it was round. I would reply "I know, but where's the edge???". They couldn't understand. I believed that the sky above made up the top half of the sphere, the ground was the bottom half, and we lived at the ground level in the middle of the sphere.
