When I was a kid I used to think that the electrical switching station/power plant near our house was a big playground. I really wanted to swing around on all the cables. I didn't understand why we couldn't go through the gates and play in there.
A childhood belief about excursions

others believed things like this
- i used to believe that clouds were made from the thick smoke that came out of power plant towers.— Rick Shaw
- that Newport power station was where clouds were made. My dad is a known liar.— Lydia
- I have always lived very near to a power station, and I used to believe it was a cloud making machine.— Kirsty Martindale
- Mom couldn't understand why at dinner time I wanted Chicken Pox.— Kristin
- As a child i was under the impression that the huge power station chimneys were cloud makers.— scruffyoik
- I used to think that swing music was called that because you listened to it when playing on the swing set.Anon
