I used to believe that the gate house to a country estate near our home was Red Riding hood's cottage and the trees in the grounds were the wood where the big bad wolf would get me. One day my Mum took me to visit a friend of hers who was renting the cottage. I was really disappointed to find out it wasn't true.
When I was a kid we had a neighbor called Old Man Sam, and if you stepped on his lawn he would chase you away because it was private property. So I thought Private Property was some kind of special designation he had gotten from the city.

When I was 5 my 7-year-old next door neighbor told me the UPS man stole kids and we should all hide so he wouldn't take us. For YEARS I hid from UPS trucks!
After being fixated with Thomas the Tank Engine and how the streets lights turned on I finally came to a logical conclusion. I believed that the fat controller lives inside the lamp post on a little chair and turned on the lights when it go dark.
Driving down the road one day, I pointed up at a giant crane at a construction site and asked my mom what it was for.
She must have thought I was looking at something else, because she mentioned something about it helping her lease the car.
For years I thought that cranes would go and pick cars out for you for a lease...

My brother used to think those yellow street signs with the wavy lines behind a car that indicated curves on the road ahead actually meant that there were snakes on the road ahead. If I recall correctly he was quite frightened by this.
When I was 3 or 4, I used to be afraid of cows. One day I moved to a different town and there was a river behind the house. My mom was afraid that I'd go wander off to the river and fall in so in order to keep me away from the river, she told me that the cows had a house down there (an old dog house in the water)and that I couldn't go down there.

When I was little I believed that the steaming man holes we see in the city, was a direct access to hell. I wanted to go down and visit. #:D
I used to think that the sign on the side of the road that said, "Stop Ahead" meant someone had their head in the road and you had to stop so you wouldn't run it over. My first day at school when the school bus picked me up at the bus stop...I started yelling "Stop! There's a head!" I couldn't understand why the bus driver didn't stop and then started laughing when I tried to explain why I had asked her to....
When i was little, my mom used to tell me that if i got near the street drain the people eater would come out and get me. For years i was scared to death that the people eater would come out and get me.
I was at my friend Zala's (yes, that really is her name) house when I was little, and she was allowed to ride her bike in the street because it was a 'dead end'. I thought that meant you could take a gun and shoot the street and it would be dead.
