the best of in the street
I used to believe the lines in the road were just decals that could be peeled off. Nearly rubbed a finger raw trying to peel one off one day.

One time me and my sister were walking around downtown and we were going into dance costume shops and we looked through the window of one of the stores and we saw little frilly costume things. So we decided to go in and look around. After about a minute or two of being in there I realized what it was! I told my sister that we were in a lingerie store and we hurry and ran out. We were like 11 and 13 or something like that. Turns out after we walked out we saw the name of the store and it was called "Dirty Joe's Punsters" it was so gross.
my uncle had a woods behind his house, and he told us this story about how the woods used to be where school kids would play and loose toys and stuff, and after every really good rain the "treasures" would get stirred up from the dirt! so we would always go out into the woods and come back with keychains, toy matchbox cars, necklaces bracelets, and so on. we believed this from the time we could walk until about age 13-14 around there lol!
When I used to see a sign saying "Littering Fine" I thought they meant if you littered REAL GOOD!
when i was a little girl my mom used to tell me that if you walked over the drains in the ground in parking lots you would fall in. i believed her untill i was 9 and finally built up the bravery to walk over one.
I moved to MA from D.C. at about 8 after my parents split up. We sold our house and moved into a 2 family house...we lived upstairs. Near our neighborhood were some goverment funded two family homes known as "the projects"
Well I thought it was totally cool to live in a 2 family home cause then you automatically had kids to play with from downstairs. So when we went back to D.c. to visit I proudly told my father and grandmother that "I live in the projects!" They were both horrified and my dad insisted on sending my mom extra $$$.
When I was little I used to believe that the green electricity substation boxes that you sometimes see on street corners were "where they keep all the dead mice!" When asked why I thought that I said "Well they've got to put them somewhere!"
i used to believe that when you stood on the side of the road and put up your thumb, you were trying to stop traffic to cross the road.
When I was little I used to believe ... that Homeless people were big rats that wanted to eat you.... man I was demented
When I was young, I used to think that there were little men who lived in the traffic lights and had to manually change the lights so people knew when to go and stop. One little man would flip the green switch, one the yellow, and one the red!
I thought that when a club had sign out front saying, "no cover." that meant women didn't cover their chests. I was horrifed that one day I would have to go in a club and they would make me take my shirt off.
i used to believe the traffic reports i heard for the first year i lived in albuquerque were using "the big eye" adult store on the far edge of town as a traffic reference point, not the main intersection of interstates 10 & 25

When I was little I thought that the street lights went out after everyone went to bed.
To keep us out of the empty corn silos when we lived in the country, my Mom would tell us that if we stepped inside, the ground would fall away from us. I still feel strange if I go near an empty corn silo.

I used to believe there was a man who sat in a room surrounded by light switches and when it got dark he would turn all of the street lights on one by one.

When my dad was a little kid he thought that there was a person in the basement that would stack the steps back up for the escalator.
I used to believe green houses were made of icicles, because that is what they looked like from the road.
You know how in some roads there are two yellow stripes in the middle? Once I saw my imaginary friend (FrogBoy) driving a remote control car down those lines. So up until I was eight I believed that all little boys who owned remote controlled cars would just walk between those yellow lines, driving their remote control cars to their hearts content. No girls did this because toy cars are a boy thing. 'Little Sally-Sue' dolls, however, well, they're a different story.
when i was little i used to think that the garbage men would kid nap me.. i ran away from then until probebly grade 9

when i was little i used to believe that garbage trucks ate the trash and i was scared that if the trash guys seen me they would feed me to the truck
When I was about four, I was always being babysat by my mother's friends. One of them lived right on a street. I would never, ever looked up the street because I was convinced that Godzilla and dinosaurs would be fighting up there. -_-;;
