the world: places

When I first learned about George Washington crossing the Delaware, I thought that "delaware" was a word for a body of water somewhat bigger than a stream, but smaller than a river.

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 we went to the airport my mom was going to england but i thought that the air port was england so when we went to the airport i always said were in england!

I grew up near a place named Antioch, and when we visited there and my parents would say,"We're going to Antioch.", I'd say," I didn't know I had an Aunty Ock!". That was when I was four and my dad still teases me about it!

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.

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.

I belived tx was a country

I actually believed that if I dug far enough down I would reach China.

I used to believe…

that each country was a different planet

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.
