A childhood belief about reading

others believed things like this
- I thought the no overtaking sign meant that red cars cannot drive by black cars.— Helen
- I thought for the longest time that a No Standing traffic sign meant no person should stand near that sign.— Shannon
- I used to believe that the "no outlet" sign on roads was a warning to people driving electric cars.— c
- I thought that the sign "!" meant: "look at the wonderful landscape"— Giorgos
- i always thought that a DEAD END sign
as where they put all the road kill.
