I used to believe that the world was infinite, a non-ending loop with repeating continents. Also, I thought that on the next loop there was an clone of me, doing exactly what I were doing.

We used to go to my grandma's, on the interstate. We never went further and I believed that all the cars were falling off the side of the world.

I used to believe that there was a magical world inside my friend's forest (she lives on an acreadge)....though after finding nothing, I think I'm reconsidering XD
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. So it wasnt untill i was about 14 and my Grandparents were taking me down that highway when i asked "are we going to Nova Scotia?" And then looked at me and laughed their heads off.
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.
I believe (because of the Walt Disney Logo) that Disney Land was on pink clouds way up in the sky and there was a giant escalator leading up to it.
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!
When I was young I thaugth that the phillipines was about where Germany is.
When I Was About 5 My Mum Got Me A Map Of The World For My Room. And Up Until I Started High School I Thourght That Ireland Was France & Germany !!
I lived in New Hampshire and I knew that, but I thought New Hampshire was where Idaho is. I got their shapes mixed up. It seemed to me that there was a bridge we'd always drive towards but always pull off the highway before we went under it. I figured California was just on the other side of the bridge.
I uesd to think that every people over the world lived in my country.
