I used to believe that "left" and "right" were cardinal directions like "East" and "West." I would point with my left had and ask my mother if that was left or right. She'd tell me left. I'd then turn 180 degrees and point in the same direction with my right hand, and thought she must be lying when she told me that it was now "right".
