the past

I used to believe that it became dark as night during the day on good Friday when my mom was a kid. And I was so envious that it didn't get dark anymore so I could experience the same

I used to beleive that gorilla wars were fought by gorillas.

I remeber hearing on the news when I was a child that Tamil Guerrilas had attcked the Indian army. I was amazed that Apes had finally declared war on Humans ( I think I might have recently watched planet of the apes)

I used to belief that people before doesn't have colors, I used to think that only black and white colors exist before. Because most of B/W movies i watched were old movies.

When I was little I thought that since old TV shows were black and white, that's what life really looked like back then. Sometime in the late 60s, everything in life gradually transitioned from black and white to color.

When i was about 5 my mum thought it would be funny to tell me that the world used to be black and white. What did i know i wasn't back there then and everyone told me about black and white T.V's. It took me aqbout a year to figure out she was lying but she still tortures me about it to this day!

when i was little, i saw a few whitw and black photos for the 40's. after that, i used to think that people, places, everything was white and black and that there was no colour until just before i was born.

When we learned about the Civil War in the second grade or so, I was very happy to learn that the North had won. I live in North Carolina, and obviously hadn't been paying attention, because I thought it was a battle between the Carolinas. I'm sure I did a good job of confusing my friends when I was gushing about how good we, the North, had done in the war.

I used to believe…

actually, it was my son. when he was 6 or seven..he was a big fan of Nick at Nite..they reran old black and white t.v. shows. " I Love Lucy" " The Honeymooners" etc.... he would always ask me what year they were made....then color reruns ( "Batman', Partidge Family) began to broadcast in color.. He assumed that color wasn't invented intil 1960..not only for T.V. but for the whole world...

i used to think that when two countries had a war, there was a specific battle ground where they would fight all the wars. just one, in like asia or something. and then when i heard about someone bombing some city, i went to my mom adn said "ooooo they broke the rules!!!"

when i was little i used to watch "i love lucy" with my mom and i used to think that people back then were actually black and white, not just on the TV. i believed that for years..

When I was little my grandmother used to show me pictures of her when she was little and stuff like that and of corse they were all black and white so I used to think the whole world was black and white not the film on the cameras.

When I was in school and read history books I used to believe that "past people" like the pilgrims and stuff were still alive they were just on another part of the world!

When I was small, I believed that a war was when two teams (that for some reason looked like the swarves from Snow White) got together and played tug-o-war. They did this in the dirt with a chalked ring around the playing field. When I heard about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, and pictured him standing on the side lines cheering his team on.

My friend believed in 4th grade thought that old shows were in black in white because there was no color in the world yet. I asked her how color was discovered and she still doesn't know. :)

When looking through black and white photos, my 5 year old cousin asked me " so when did the world get colour?" she thought everything was black and white in thye 'olden days'.
