When I was about 6 there was a war in my country and I asked my mom how long it was going on. She said 4 years. I don't know why but untill I was about 12 I believed that every war lasted 4 yrs.So when we were learning about wars in our History class and the teacher said that a war lasted for 100 yrs i thought that she was completely off the track
A childhood belief about wars
others believed things like this
- I used to think all wars lasted only 4 years, like college or something. Anon
- I thought that 1983 went on for 3 years - had to ask my sister who decided how long a year lasted.— Sally
- I used to believe that eg 1+1=11 and 2+2=22.
Luckily that only lasted until age 2 1/2.— Madi - I used to think wars started when a sergeant from one country socked a sergeant from another country.— recovering
- I thought that wars had to last four years... just like high school and college.— A. Falk
