the past

Because all the pictures of my mum and dad as kids were in black and white, I used to believe that the whole world was black and white when they were little.

When she was five, my niece believed that in the "olden days" folks had all the stuff you saw in movies - horses and carts etc - but that they also had TVs and computers. Maybe she believed that the movies of the past were docos and so they had to have TVs in order to film the movie?

When I was a kid my favorite ride at Disneyland was Pirates of the Caribbean. I had never heard of the Caribbean though, and therefore assumed it was a time period. How I must have confused my friends and family.

"If I had a time machine, I'd go to the caribbean."

I used to believe back then the world was in black and white. I assumed color was invented after many years.

When we learned in school about certain countries conquering others, I thought it meant the conquered nation broke off and floated over until it joined up with the nation that conquered it. When we learned in Texas history that six flags had flown over Texas, I thought it meant Texas did a lot of sailing around the globe.

I used to believe that the Boston Tea Party took place in the Great Lakes.

I used to believe that before colour photography, the world was black and white.

When I was younger and was looking through my moms photo albums, I thought that everything was black and white. Not sure where I thought all the colour came from though....

I thought the world was black and white before a certain date. I had only seen it in black and white film and pictures. So once I asked when the world turned colour.

I used to believe the world was black and white before the 1970's.

When I was a child, I believed that years before my birth, the whole world was black and white. Until NASA launched a satellite that brought color too the whole world. I believed this until I was about 9 or 10.

I also had the same explanation for gravity. I used to ask my mom how grandma used to take a bath when the water was floating all over the place. She used to respond with remarks like " Oh Willie, youre the only one who gets water everywhere when they take a bath."

back in the days i thought the world was black and white like in the pictures

I used to believe…

not long ago,i used to believe that Cold war was described as cold because it took place in snow

When i was a kid I thought that the Great Depression was a time when the whole nation got really sad/depressed.

I feel like i believed this till I was almost 13.

I used that in oldentimes, things were actually black and white like in the photographs, and that colour wasn't introduced to the world until the 70s.

I used to believe --based on the instances when I saw old black and white films and television programs-- that everything was in black and white when my parents were young. I thought the world was devoid of color until sometime in the late 1960s.
