My family and I would go to the beach alot, meeting family and friends for picnics. On the other side of the sandy part was a grassy hill where picnic tables, playground equipment, etc was. There were signs along the beginning of the grassy part which said, "No Grills Beyond This Point." I thought it said "No GIRLS Beyond This Point", and I never did go up the hill!

When I was 7 had my 5 year old brother convinced that my mom's perfume and makeup would keep the bugs away. I put it on him before we went outside for about a week before someone told my mom.

When my sister and I were young we used to believe that the power station near our house was a playground. It honestly looked like a giant sized jungle gym to our young eyes. We were forever begging our mom to take us, luckily she never did.
When I was little, I believed mannequins came to life at night. Watching Mannequin and visiting a Madame Tussauds museum were both horrifying experiences for me.

I used to believe that the tall Marriott hotel by our shopping mall was actually Hollywood and each room was a different actors home. Me and my sister would point to the different windows and say " oh that's Gingers house from Gilligans Island!"

We used to live in a farming town, and when we drove by the fields I would see barrels of hay wrapped in white plastic. My parents told me that they were giant marshmallow farms.

Not knowing the word “tailgater,” I assumed that it must be a variety of alligator. Family trips to Colorado were terrifying for me, given that my father spent hours cursing all the tailgaters that were RIGHT… BEHIND… OUR CAR.

I'm in eighth grade, this year I was reading my science textbook and it was talking about chemical change and it mentioned that the chemical change had made the copper in the statue look green. I had always thought that it was painted. I had no idea why the painted it or now that I think of it, how it stayed painted

When I was a child I believed that Ocean County College in NJ, was located under the pond on Hooper Ave. In the middle of the pond there are some pillars that say Ocean County College. I thought that under that was the access to the college

Halloween was so much fun as a kid. I used to believe that if I started yelling Trick-or-Treat while I was running for the house, I could get the candy person to the door faster. It usually worked too. I always came home with a lot more candy than my friends.
I used to believe that babies needed to be walked in strollers, like dogs, because in my neighborhood, all the small children (including myself) would be walked around by their parents during the summer months
