I had poor eyesight but had never had an eye test, so no one knew. I thought everyone saw what I saw. So I assumed that adults were stupid and incompetent, since obviously no one could read street signs, or the chalk board in class.
A childhood belief about eyes
others believed things like this

- I believed that the word optimistic was something to do with opticians and being happy with your eyesight.Anon
- Having seen enough red octagonal STOP signs in my time, I used to look out for green circular GO signs.— Gary
- I used to believe that a street sign that read "Dead End" meant that there were dead people buried there.Anon
