I used to have a terrible fear of the noise made by the magpies in the 'Bananas in Pajamas' show. It got so bad that I would lay awake at night and when I got tired enough I swore they were walking around outside my window. I still believe those things are demon birds.

...that everything was black and white pre-1950's and that's why movies from that time weren't in color.
I was convinced that disney movie characters were real people. After watching the Little Mermaid, I would always try opening my eyes and singing underwater, and was so sad when i couldn't do it! The weird thing was that it was only disney movies, never television cartoons.

My Dad had me convinced that the "First-Down Line" on the screen during football games on TV was painted on by a guy who ran across with a yellow paintbrush real fast, and when it was time for the line to disappear, he had to run back down real fast again and paint it green to match the grass again. He was the fastest runner because he couldn't get in the football players' way and interfere with the game. I never paid close enough attention and didn't catch the line actually appearing/disappearing until I was 14 years old, what a shock that was! I was amazed that my dad kept it going for so long.
