the past

I used to believe that there was a time when, like old movies, life was really without color

We had plenty of black and white photos at home. Family photos or deceased uncles and grandparents.
So I used to believe that the world had no colour back then. But that it used to be in shades of gray like on the photos or in the movies.I never bothered asking how the world became coloured, until I was about 15.

When i was little i thought that the past was in black and white because all the very old shows where black and white, and that the color was invented when color tv came to existence

I watched an old movie and thought the world was black and white before color t.v. came out

When I was little, I thought that in the olden days the world was in black and white, because of old films, and I thought what an amazing day it must have been when all the colour suddenly arrived!

I used to think the world was black and white. I thought black and white movies had no color because no one had invented color and everything existed in shades of gray. I was really glad they had invented color before I was born so I could eat a red apple and lay on green grass.

Because of black and white photographs and television, I used to believe that the entire world was black and white before they invented color.

I used to believe that the entire world was black and white, but then a rainbow exploded and the entire world was colored. I asked my mom once what living in a black and white world was like, and she laughed at me.

I used to think that the Stone of Scone in Scotland was actually a giant scone that had been baked wrong and come out like hard rock. I thought that the scottish clans used to deliberately bake their scones like this to throw at their enemies - and this was where the term "sconning someone" came from. I believed this up until a year ago. I'm 24 now.

I used to believe that since movies and pictures were in black and white, that things from those times must have been in black and white, too. One time I asked my mom what it was like for her when the world changed to color. It took her a while to figure out what I was talking about!

When I was younger I used to watch black and white videos like the little Rascals and Abbot and Costello with my father. I thought that everything back in those days when they filmed those videos, was black and white. My tiny brain at the time would always wonder what it was like with no color in the world

When I was a child I used to think that the world was black and white in the past, like in the movies.

When I was four, I thought George Washington was the current president and Abraham Lincoln was the vice president, because their pictures were up on the wall at daycare for President's Day. I remember having a heated argument with my mother when she tried to tell me that Ronald Reagan was the president.

I used to believe…

that the world was black and white back in the "old" days. I got this impression from all the black and white shows I used to watch as a kid (Andy Griffith Show, Leave it to Beaver, etc...)

Messed up huh?

I used to belive Adolf Hitler was called "Adult Hitler". I asked my mother "Why do people alway cough when they Hitlers first name. Until i was 10 i relized Adolf was his name and not Adult. :S

I always wondered, why people in the past only wore black and white clothes...
