Early 1990s, around age 5, I assumed TV shows were created by the TV itself and were unique to each TV. I was blown away the first time I heard another kid talking about a cartoon I thought only I could watch.
A childhood belief about tv

others believed things like this
- I got the 1990s and 1900s mixed up, so I thought people wore that fancy old-fashioned garb in the 1990's.Anon

- My brother (who was 6 at the time) would never flush the toilet in fear of our new house being blown up! Anon
- When I was a child, I used to believe that Catalonia was the unique part of land of the world.Anon
- I heard my mum talking about foreign people, and I later asked, "have you ever been to Foreign?"— Kia
