neighbourhood

When my grandmother was 8 or 9 she used to believe that fish lived in one of the houses she passed everyday.

My mum used to tell me when the ice-cream truck turned on his jingle, it meant they had run out of ice-cream!

When I was younger I was convinced that ET lived in the city water towers (they kinda look like a UFOs).

Every time we would pass one in the car I would point and shout "That's where ET lives, right mommy!?" She'd just agree.

I used to believe that when the icecream man played his song it meant he had no icecreasm left! my mother's evil plan

When I was younger me and my older brother, Edward, belived that the ice cream man would secretly put drugs inside the lollies etc...and it wasnt only us who believed that it was the whole neigbourhood yeah it was pretty weird...

For some reason unknown to me, whenever I would walk down the street I would make sure that whoever I was walking with (usually my dad), would stay on the same sides of objects as me, such as signposts and mailboxes, I was convinced that if we passed such objects on different sides, I would dissapear from on the other side to my dad and go into another world exactly like ours so I would never know the difference.

I used to think that radio towers that have the huge white satellite round things was where the band would play from and the drummers would drum on the satellites(they looked like drums)

when i was little i thought that when you moved to a different house you would just trade houses with the other person

When I was a kid, a local window blind company's dellivery trucks had a sign on the back that read, "Careful, blind man driving." I thought they were so kind to hire the handicapped!

i used to believe that when you moved they would put your house on wheels and just pull it to a new place. I really wasn't even that young i was like nine and now i'm 13

I used to believe that there was a mansion in my neighbor's backyard. They had about an acre of woods, and the noises I thought were coming from 'the mansion' were really coming from some apartments behind their land. I don't even know where that idea came from! :-p

I used to believe pederstrian was a race

my aunt told me when she was little, when she saw the signs saying "no outlet" meant that the people living in the area had no outlets

I used to belive that when you moved, a big crane picked up your house and dropped it somewhere else.

When I was younger, I lived in the city. So, naturally I never saw a UPS man. When I was around 7yrs. old, I moved to a small town. I asked the neighbor kid about the UPS man and he told me that whenever I saw the UPS truck, I had to run. When I asked him why he told me that the UPS man was a child-stealer. For months, I would run in fear of the UPS man. Until one day, my mom saw me running away and told me the truth.

I used to believe that when you drove a car, the tires turned the earth, so it amazed me how two cars could pass each other. I thought it was because the road had two parts, one for each direction.
