When I was a little kid and had lots of toys and many other house utility things …….all of them with a tag….. made in japan . I believed that japan was the only country in the world that made most of the things and supplied to all the countries . and I used to cherish anything that was made in u.s.a (America} like the schaefer pen ! . and yet believed japan to be the most productive country in the world for other things.

There is this highway called Canada Highway. And When i was younger i used to believe that that highway travelled all the way from one side of Canada to the other.

When we were children, we used to believv that if we dig a deep hole in the ground, we 'll reach CHINA!
Ever since I was a baby my parents flew to Guatemala every year for vacation. By the time I was 3 yrs old my parents would always ask, especially in front of family members and friends, "Where is Guatemala?" Well....my response was "Up there!" and point my finger to sky and [i]everyone[/i] would laugh!!! Since the plane always went up I always had this feeling that Guatemala was located on top of a cloud. Yeah...afterward I figured it all out and why everyone laughed at me!
When I was young (probably around three or four) I thought there were two Hollywoods, one in Miami and the other in San Francisco. I have no idea where I got this, but I think it was because my mom read a lot of magazines like People and I liked to look at maps. But I'm not sure about that.
Until about age 7 or 8 I though that North Dakota had a coast, because it only had other states on 3 sides & my home state had 3 states & then the ocean on the 4th side.

Other countries were in the sky as everybody went there by plane.
For whatever reason, I used the think that the Washington Monument was called the "Money Building..." Money, Monument, same thing, right? Well I used to think that was where all the money was made and was so confused about how so much money could come out of a building so thin!
