I used to believe that Australia was a series of concentric circles, with prairie in the middle where kangaroos lived, then a band of jungle for all the creepy crawlies and snakes. There was then a ten feet high brick wall to seperate it from the road, and on the other side of the road were the houses.
A childhood belief about places
others believed things like this
- I used to believe green houses were made of icicles, because that is what they looked like from the road. Anon

- Pink Floyd- Brick Wall.
I used to believe it was "we don't need no fart control" in the second line there.— Norwegian Dude From Kopervik - I used to think the line in Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall was "No dogs allowed in the classroom."— Gretchen
- When I was little, I always believed I was safe from the big bad wolf because I lived in a brick house.— Beth
- It never occured to me as a child that teachers lived in houses. I thought they lived at school...— Heidi, Pittsburgh, PA
