When I was very young, for some reason, I thought if you had a gun and shot your television, you would be able to climb inside it and play with all your cartoon friends!

When I was five years old I saw Romeo and Juliet living in my backyard.... I know it was them.. or maybe it was the gnomes..

There was an episode of SpongeBob where a teen girl character said "Finally, a cool place for teens to just, you know, hang out!" in a squeaky voice. I found her voice hard to understand and didn't hear the "hang out" part, so I thought she said "a cool place for teens to dispiano", and that unknown word "dispiano" meant party or something.

at least i caught the meaning

As a little kid, I thought the tv had rooms that you would select to see. And that the people inside could see you. I would have toys with me to impress the people

a sitcom meant that you sat while you were watching the comedy

When I saw it in a coloring book, I thought Mr. Krabs was frozen in peanut butter in the original SpongeBob movie, not in ice because it wasn’t a big block of ice, but was dripping and covered his form.

When I was really little I always watched my dad play Bejeweled. If he moved two gems that didn't make a valid combo it would say "illegal move" and I cried because I thought he would go to jail.

When I was really little, I misheard "brought to you by" as "broctayu by", thinking broctayu was all one word. I thought it meant something like "affiliated with", as in "these products we're showing commercials for products we liked enough to use on the show". I wasn't entirely wrong, but I had a very naive and simplistic view of it.

I used to believe that Montel Williams was Oprah’s brother and that his name was “Luprah Winfrey”
