Before I entered kindergarten, I used to believe that 11 and 12 should have been eleven-teen and twelve-teen.
Why not? There's thirteen, fourteen and so on...
I figured the entire group should match. :-)
A childhood belief about counting

- until I was thirteen I used to believe that "homocide" was two homosexuals killing eachother. Anon
