we once convinced my OLDER sister that the little red balls on the powerlines in large cities were actually subdivision housing for the city squirrels sice there weren't enough trees to go around! well, we let her believe this for about a year......i think she figured it out when i kept telling everyone about it. she was 15!!!!;) thank god for siblings!
