I used to think the little power boxes at the top of telephone poles were people's mailboxes, and I always wondered how on earth they managed to collect their mail every day.
A childhood belief about in the street

others believed things like this
- I thought when i was a kid, that all mailboxes had tubes that brought your mail to the person u sent it to.— Andrew
- I used to believe that telephone poles grew out of the ground.— Jennifer (the blonde)
- I used to believe a mile was the distance between telephone poles.— Allegra
- For years and years I thought telephone poles grew.— Maureen
- i used to think that the word e-mail was a sex, like male, female and e-mail.
I'm so thick!— Confoozed - I used to believe serial killers were actually people that went round slipping poison into cereal boxesAnon
