I used to believe that the moon was a big cheese wheel

When I was a child, I used to believe that the moon was made of cheese and I waned to eat a big quesadilla with it. I once told my friends and they all laughed a lot.

When I was a child, I believed that the sun turned into the moon at night and that the moon became the sun during the day.

i used to believe that the sky was the floor of heaven and it had holes in it. At night, heaven would switch its lights on and they would shine thru the holes and we would see stars...
Not really sure when that ended.

I used to belive neil Armstrong jumped onto the moon and everyone saw him cause of course he was half a big as it!

I looked at the moon ever since and pictured an astronaught half as big as the moon standing on it with an american flag!

I also belived (like many people) that the moon followed me while in the car at night.

When I was a kid, I asked my mom can I get to the Moon. She said no, that's very, very far away. Then I asked : "What if I put one chair on another?" Standing on 1 chair was a pretty good height for me. And standing on 2 of them.. :)

I used to think that up in outer space the sun was a gigantic baby that never grew up like in Teletubbies.

when i was a kid, i bought this book about the history of the earth from a gift shop of a science museum. at the end of the book, it stated that earth will be swallowed by the sun in a few million years. i was scared of that event for days not realizing that i won't be lieve in a few million years.

i used to believe that stars were people in heaven and the moon was god

I used to think that the sunset was the Sun seperating into the millions of stars in the sky. The stars would, of course, recollect again at sunrise to make the Sun again.

I remember this making perfect sense in my head at the time too :o)

When I was little, I used to think the moon was a reflection of the earth...that somehow outer space was some sort of huge "lake" and whenever we looked at the moon, we were somehow looking at our own reflection. I had a lot to learn.

I believed that we lived inside the earth, not on it. This was probably because there was a cartoon sticker on my cupboard of two rockets exploding through the surface of the earth. The image left me wondering just how space shuttles actually managed to burst through the earth's 'skin' to make it into space. Bizarre

Dave

I used to believe that when I saw the clouds moving in the sky, that it was actually the earth moving.

Megan Gilbert

At night I would hear the chirping crickets and thinking it was comeing from the stars in the sky!
