I use to think the Taj Mahal in India was actually the Tajma Hall, a place to have meetings. I though this until I was probably 15.
A childhood belief about speaking

others believed things like this
- That at meetings adults sat on plastic chairs surrounding a large piece of meatAnon
- I thought that Indian Summer was like the weather in India.Anon
- I used to believe that India and Indonesia were right next to each other since their names sounded alikeAnon
- I heard the song about Heaven being a place where nothing ever happened and thought, "What a boring place."Anon
- I thought Hall and Oates was Holland Oats.Anon
- I used to believe that flea markets were a place people sold fleas, or the place was infested with fleas— Kelley
