I once had a really funny incident on the phone when an old lady said her name was Aileen, and I thought she said alien.
A childhood belief about names

others believed things like this
- I thought the ball-headed person in the Bic logo was an alien and communicated using alien-like noises.Anon
- I always thought that my relatives were really tiny, and inside my phone when I talked to them on the phone.Anon
- I used to think that Chris de burgh song Lady in red was Lady in Bread
— Omega-R-Fox - My Brother used to think that Chris de Burgh was singing 'Lady in bed' instead of lady in red'— Kerry, Manchester
- I used to think the song "dude looks like a lady" by aerosmith was "doodles like a lady"— I used to believe
- Oh oh, I'm an alien, I'm a little alien...
