When I was a little kid (around 5 or 6). I was always afraid that it was illegal for me to watch any TV show with a rating above anything my parents said I could watch, at that age, that rating limit happened to be TV-Y7, so if a show started and I saw that the rating wasn't TV-Y, TV-G, or TV-Y7, I would panic, grab the remote and instantly change to something that was, because I thought the police knew that I wasn't supposed to be watching what I was, and they'd come to my house and arrest me...
I'm now 13 years old, and my parents let me watch anything up to TV-14, and I always watch things rated TV-MA anyway...but I'm still afraid someone will see me watching it and I'll get in trouble (though I know I won't get arrested...) so I always close my bedroom door, close the blinds, and turn down my TV's volume....just to be safe!
