when we first got a car with electric windows, my sister and i coulnt figure out how the windows went down. my dad told us that they were voice activated.you just had to say "windows down" and windows up". he would say it and then at the same time, press the button. my sister and i tried for ages to get the windows down by voice, and he kept telling us we were saying it wrong.
A childhood belief about cars

others believed things like this
- i used to think bugs could sting you through closed glass windows.Anon
- That when u opened all the windows on just one side of the car the wind would make it tip over.— Schmackalie
- I used to think that GLASS and GRASS was the same thing. I always wondered why windows weren't green...— Alex
- I used to belive that Jack Frost was a real man! and that he came and painted frost on the windows at night.— Tom
- i didn't beleive this, but a kid my sister knew thought if he screamed in a really high voice, he ran faster.Anon
- We told our little sister that she had a long bushy tail and she fully believed us for ages!!Anon
