I used to think that if you passed by something in a car, you could still see and look at it. This was because when my mom and I would be in the car, and we passed something interesting, she would ask me if I could see it, leading me to the conclusion that everyone was able to still see things that already passed by, like a roll of film. Eventually, I asked my mom to tell me how to do that, and she explained that she only remembered the object, but couldn't see it.
heh. I was so looking foreward to having that ability, too.
