When I was eight, I used to think that the towering water towers in town were actually secret government control centers that would direct the fire department or the police if something went wrong. I also used to think that they would watch us play outside, and if we did anything wrong, they would know and call the police.
I've debunked that theory, because we all know the government uses televisions to watch us =) j-k
