When we were little, my mother told my sister and I that every time we saw the fluorescent orange or pink surveyor's flags tied to stakes in the woods, that it meant the Girl Scouts had been there. If the flags were green or blue, it meant the Boy Scouts (of course!) had been there. On a Sunday drive when I was about 20, I saw some orange flags in a wooded area off the road. I said to my mom, "Look! The Girl Scouts were here!" She laughed so hard she almost crashed the car. She had forgotten she told us and was surprised that we had remembered it - and still thought that's what they were.

As a child growing up in rural NC there was (and still is) a bible theme park in our area that attracted visitors from all over the world and whenever we had company they always wanted to go there so we were there a lot, in those days before segregation there were water fountains marked white and colored and i was convinced that the ones marked colored held colored water. I saw no reason for there being seperate fountains after all we were all just people, simply being told "it is just not done" did not make sense and i tried to sneak away each time and have a drink of colored water

My four-year old believed that my daughter and I stood outside his school in the spot we dropped him off and came to get him the entire time he was in his kindergarten-one. One day when he noticed something new in the house, he asked from where it came. I told him that I had bought it while walking home after dropping him off. He was devastated to discover that I actually walked home, stayed there for a while, and then returned to the school

My parents told me we were going to dinner and were going to see a floor show. I waited and waited and waited, but the floors didn't do anything except lay there. But the singers and dancers were great!

When I was about 3 or 4 my parents & I would often drive from Guelph to Toronto to visit my Grandmother. The trip home always felt longer...especially late in the evening. In reponse to my constant inquiry "are we there yet?", my mother would say "yes, I can see the Guelph lights now". I remember spending trip after trip trying to decipher the "Guelph" lights from the "Toronto" lights...how could she tell the difference??? I remember coming to the conclusion that "Toronto" lights were yellow (many of the city's highway ramp lights are) and that Guelph lights were white.

My parents took my cousin and me to Madame Tussaudes waxworks in London. After about and hour or so my cousin said 'I'm fed up with all these people, when are we going to get into the cinema?'

my parents and some friends rented a beach hut for a week one summer when i was about 5/6. i was confused when we gor there and there werent any beds i had no idea where we were going to sleep. no-one had thought to tell me that the beach hut is just for visiting everyday and that you go home later. i thought we were all going on holiday even though the beach was only 10 minutes from home!

When I was a little boy of around 3, my family visited HMS Victory (Nelson's flag ship @ Trafalgar) in Portsmouth. Try as they might they could not get me to go aboard. I remember kicking and screaming in my effort to stop them, I thought we were going to sail away on this very old & unsafe looking ship. I did eventually did go onboard when my older sister told me that Nelson slept in a cot, just like me, naturally I had to see this cot for a grown man!

Every year around the end November I would go to Manchester with my Mum and Dad. The trip was to look around the large stores, mainly to look at the toys ready for the big day, Christmas. Always without fail my mum would say to Dad, lets go to C&A's before we go home.
I could never understand why we NEVER EVER saw Anne Hayes!!!

When I was 10, my family went on vacation and stayed at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. One of the sideshow acts was "Gorilla Girl," where a "scientist" changed a woman into a gorilla. For some reason I was terrified...totally bought into the illusion...especially when the "gorilla" broke her cage door and rushed the stage. I was outside before my poor father knew what to do!

when I was very young, i was convinced that all my grandmother did between the times I saw her was stand at her dorr waving.. as it was the last thing she did when we left, and the first thing she did when we arrived. Sometimes i would not see her for weeks and worry that she must get exausted.

I used to believe that if you went on the bumper cars at the funfair you kept on driving until you went off the edge and died. I never went on them.

When I was about 10/11 we went on a family trip to London. When there, we went into a museum where it had a miniature display of a room of a country mansion house of the 18th or so Century. I looked through the glass, and thinking myself rather clever, yelled out to my dad "Wow, look at those breasts!". Needless to say every male in the room took a sudden interest in the display as my dad promptly grabbed me away yelling out "Ooooh, you mean BUSTS, Edward, yes BUSTS!" as loudly as he could so everyone could hear.

I've never really lived that down.....

Whenever my parents took me to the beach there was always this beachside road, parallel to the ocean, we had to cross.

I used to think this road ran all around the edge of the country without any interruption.

When visiting my grandparents in Devon. I always used to look out for the 'Welcome to Salcombe' sign on the way into their town. My Grandad had told me he always put it out when he knew I was coming - and do you know, he never once forgot !

I used to believe that if you were in an elevator too long you would run out of air and die...this is all thanks to my wonderful sister! Therefore, when on vacation in Las Vegas Hotels, my mother would have one heck of a time getting me up to our room on the 25th floor!
