i used to think that the sea was the same texture and consistancy as jelly , this was disproved one day i was taken to saltcoats seaside resort (if u can call it that) when i was 3 or 4 years old, i couldnt wait to jump onto the jelly and bounce about all over the place, so i ran as fast as i could and jumped in, i vividly remember the shock and confusion i felt as the freezing salty seawater enveloped me and my dad dragged me out coughing and spluttering and crying my eyes out, i remember him pissing himself laughing along with my mother, but once i was dried off and stuffed full of chips i soon got over it.
When I was little and swimming in the ocean on family vacations, my mom would always shriek "Watch out for the undertow! The undertow!" Constantly.

When I was little I was told that the world was round so I believed that but I couldn't figure out how it was also flat. I ended up with my own theory that we lived encased in a huge glass globe with a flat plane on the inside, that's what our houses sat on on and what we walked on. Then someone told me that the sun is bigger than the earth, but that made no sense to me because I figured there's no way the sun could fit inside the glass globe.
