in kindergarten, I naturally hated boys. And I used to tell my friends (who were all girls, of course) that if we dug a deep enough hole, we'd get to this magic kingdom where girls lorded over boys and we'd all be princesses. I really believed this, so for many a recess my buddies and I would be in the sand, digging a hole. The boys could not figure out why we kept digging, and we didn't tell them. We did get mad, however, when we'd come back out at recess and find that someone had filled our hole in!

When I was about 6 years old, I used to go visit my grandma in Pennsylvania and we had to go through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. and they are 2 tunnels right next to each other and they go under a big mountian and they were really long.. well i always thought that when you went under them you would somehow end up on the other side of the mountian and go out the other way bak to where u came from. and u just "somehow" ended up where you were going. I believed that untill i waz about 12!! and then i finially relized that there were 2 sepret tunnels and you dont somehow turn around and go the other way! HAHA
i live in canada and i live like by a big hill and i used to think that on the other side of the hill was the united states but back then i thought it was the united stakes.
I used to believe that when you go to Disney land you would see the cartoon characters running around like on the Rodger Rabbit movie! I finally found out that it was people dressed up when i went to Florida when i was 10! lol
When I was little I used to think the autobahn was a stock.
When I was little I used to think that there was a person in the ATM machine handing out money.
when i was 3 or 4 i moved from russia to the United states. I did understand what countries were, and what the earth was n stuff. So i looked on a globe for russia. Of course i could not read yet, and i thought Austrailia was Russia!but in the second grade i finally found out it was in europe and asia.
when I was little i looked at a map of the United States alot without the other countries., soooo whenever i looked at a globe, I thought canada and mexico were there just to make it look cool
i used to believe that the united states was the whole world and that there was no other place but the united states.
when i was about 5, I lived in Brazil and my family visited Iguazu Falls. my mom explained to me that down there (bottom of waterfall or something) was Paraguay, and over there (across the river or something) was Argentina, and where we are standing is Brazil. Somehow I concluded this means that Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil were parallel plains/landscapes of separate altitudes. The three countries were stacked like floors in a building, overlapping. So most of Paraguay was uderground. So when someone said "Paraguay is below Brazil", meaning south, I would think "oh yeah, I've been there, I know what's going on".
I used to think that Michael Jordan and Montell Jordan were brothers. I used to think that Montell also played basketball just like his “brother.”
While watching a football game on TV, I once asked my dad why there was a net between the goal posts. He said that it was to keep the ball from being eaten by the crazed fans in the seats. So, for a good decade, I thought that people at football games would get so excited that if a ball went into the stands, they would tear it to shreds and eat the pieces. Fortunately, this was well before we started hearing about "soccer hooligans" in the states, otherwise I might never have realized that he didn't mean literally eaten.
I always thought that you could take as much money as you wanted out of the ATM machienes, and when you ran out of money, you could just go and get some more. It never occured to me that that money was ours.
when I was about 3 I thought that eating money would make me rich. :P I'd steal 100 dollar bills from my mom and ate them. I never got rich....lol
When I was little I used to believe that my mom could buy whatever she wanted just as long as she had checks...checks were just as good as money and you didnt need the actual money, just checks. It is still a common joke in my family to this day!

I used to believe that all the pencils in the world were made in Pennsylvania. I asked my teacher that once and she laughed at me.
