Until I was about 12 I used to think that Jay walking meant you crossed the road naked. My mom used to say naked as a jay bird so I just assumed thats what it meant. I could never figure out why people would want to cross the road with no clothes on
A childhood belief about road signs

- I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.— Tim
