I used to think that all TV was live, and I wondered how in reruns they could exactly duplicate the show down to the wrinkles in people's clothing.

My parents told me that if i spat on the TV screen, it would explode. I was afraid to stand near the TV for a long time!

When I was a kid, I saw a TV commercial advertising a place that was having a "liquidation sale" because it was going out of business. I had never heard that term before; I thought that it meant whatever merchandise was left unsold at the end of the going-out-of-business sale, they would take and melt down. (You know...liquidate!)

I figured it was some sort of marketing gimmick to coax people into coming to the sale and buying things - nobody wants to see so much stuff go to waste like that, after all. This all made perfect sense to me.

I used to believe that fictional characters weren't real, or in other words, weren't aware of the audience's existence. So I used to wonder why people write letters to fictional characters if they can only read letters from other characters.

Back then,when I was 7 years I used to believe that if I say a name of sickness I'll have that sickness so, once I saw on the news that a doctor was talking about a dangerous that the children used to suffer at that age, then I said to a cousin that she can't tell it and she believed it too.

I used to believe that the people who we see in the tv were inside it and I always looked behind the tv yo te and get them out of there.

I used to think that Madame Giselle from Peppa Pig had pink blush on one cheek, and brown blush on the other. I always wondered why she used 2 different blush colours instead of just one colour. Then my mom told me that the brown part is her nose, not blush.
