the world

When I was about 4 or so, I believed that when the space shuttle took off, it would go very high in the sky like you see on tv, but then just go towards a big house like a plane, and this house was that big Kennedy Space Center building (the rectangular one) i believed the "earth" was some kind of magical deity inside this building and the only way to go through the walls was by space shuttle. i never realized we lived there.

I used to believe that when a bank paid you interest on the money in your bank account, that whenever the bank employees looked at your money they had to give you some more because they were interest-ed!

I used to believe…

up until last week i always thought swindon was near sweeden or switzerland, until everyone laughed and said its actually not very far away from where i live! CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE (im 18)

I used to believe that Washington D.C. was in Washington and that the the United States was the entire world and there were no other countries.

You know when your little most kids have this idea that you can dig to China. Well, not me! I was probably five or six when I learned about heaven and hell and I would get terrified when my little brother was in the back yard digging in the sand box or just anywhere really because I was convinced we were going to make the devil angry and he was going to take us away forever.

I thought that James E. Carter, Jr. and Jimmy Carter were different people...until my mom pointed out that they were the same.

When I was little I had a very short attention span (still do, actually) and when we were going somewhere a few miles away in the car, I'd start asking where we were going even though I'd been told a few minutes ago. Just to shut me up my parents would tell me we were going to Texas. For years I didn't believe Texas was a real place. My parents told me the truth when I got in an argument with my Kiddie Gymnastics instructor because she'd said she was going to visit her relatives in Texas and I knew there was no such place.

In preschool my 2 BFFs and i would dig in the sand box because we thought there was a magical world where there was no adults and every single cartoon people like Mickey Mouse and Minnie would be there and you could wish for anything you wanted and no one would notice you were gone

As children, whenever my brothers or I recieved money as a gift we took great pleasure in bringing it to the bank to deposit it in our savings accounts. We were told that we were saving the money so that we could go to college. I truly believed that "College" was some sort of theme park or something. I remembering wondering WHEN we were going to take this trip to college. I was crushed when I learned what it really was!!

i used to find cash machines fascinating when i was younger and asked my grandmother where the money came from (bless her she was about 80) she genuinely believed there was a man behind the machine handing notes through the slot! the funny thing is she would'nt believe anything else...no matter what....ah bless i still chuckle thinking of that

I used to believe that everyone in Russia (back when it was The USSR) had to write a letter to the president for permission to do anything. This also included writing a letter to the president asking for permission to do something, so I thought the president would come to the house of anyone who wrote him a letter and arrest them for writing a letter without permission.
I don't know how I thought anyone got anything done, I didn't think that far.

My dad put a thumbtack on one of the stairs to the basement and told us kids that it marked the center of the world - we believed him and all 7 of us thought we lived at the center of the world. My sister told about the thumbtack during show and tell one day and suddenly her world was shattered:(

I used to believe that the globe was a round balla nd had like horizontal lines of colour for the countries. England was blue and was at the top lol

I used to believe that you could dig to the other side of the world on the beach. So whenever we went there, I would just dig.

I used to think that when you bought something, the tax couldn't be more than $1 ... I guess it made sense, because nothing I bought was ever much more than a dollar, so the tax was always less.

I used to believe that if you poked a city on a map you would destroy that city, so at school I would poke Houston to see if I could see a giant finger in the sky.
