I used to believe that there was little people inside the radio making all that music and talking.

I used to believe that when I listened to the car radio, the D.J.'s were actually INSIDE the radio. The ironic thing is that I'm now a morning D.J. and no, I'm not inside the radio!

I used to think that the characters on cartoons are actually puppets. I wouldn't believe my uncle when he told me that they were drawn.

I used to think that if I don't leave the bathroom after brushing my teeth in 2 minutes, I would be locked in there forever. That explains my bad oral hygiene.

I used to believe…

When I was a wee lad, 4 or 5, I realized that TV wasn't real, but I hadn't quite grasped make up and special effects. I wondered where they got a guy with pointed ears to play Spock, or a giant hairy thing to play Chewbacca, etc.

I believed the sticks you'd occasionally see hanging from the arms of The Muppets were crutches from a recent accident that the character had had. Makes sense, I guess.

I thought that the music on the radio was being played live at the radio station and bands were constantly stopping by to play their music.

I used to believe that when an actor died or was killed in a TV show that they were really dead. I was always amazed to see that actor appear in a different show at a later date. "That can;t be the same guy, he died on that last Perry Mason episode".

When I was young, I had seen a "Flintstones" episode that involved a musical group playing at a radio station for the broadcast. I thought all music on the radio was played live by musicians at the station.

I used to believe that the tv station could monitor what I was watching. If a show came on that I didnt like I would quickly turn the channel, hoping they would cancel the show.

When I was little and my mom would take me to the theater, I saw all these tiny people at the front of the theater. I didn't understand perspective, and that things appeared smaller the farther away they were. So- I thought these people were tiny people. And I wanted one. My mommy said no. Alas- I have never recovered. ;c)

i used to think it took 65 million years to make the movie "Jurrasic Park". i got this idea because of the movies tagline on the posters for it. i couldnt understand why someone would take such along time to make a movie.

I used to believe…

when i was seven i asked my older brother what the am and fm stood for with radio stations, he told me am was "American music" and fm was for "foreign music" it did not occur to me until my teens that i heard american music on the fm stations all the time.

I used to believe…

When I was five or six, I loved to watch the movie Ghostbusters 2, but when the scene with the ghost train in the sewer came on I thought that the train would come through the TV unless I hid under the bear rug in the center of the room.

I used to believe…

When I was three years old my siblings had a movie night where they showed the movie "Poltergeist." It wasn't until my teens that I wasn't afraid of the electronic "snow" on an unused television channel.

I used to think that what was on the radio was unique to each radio-- so, if I didn't like what was on, say, 93.3 FM on my clock radio, I'd get my Walkman, tune it to 93.3 FM, and expect something different to be playing.

I used to believe that 'broctoyouby' was a word. On commercial television after every show they would say the show was 'brought to you by' and then the name of the sponsor.
