I enjoyed watching NFL Football and was amazed that there was a game in New England. I thought the NFL was playing a special game over seas in England. What solidified it for me was that I always heard that it rained a lot in England and this game was being played in the rain. I'm still a little unsure what all makes up "New England" since it's not one of the 50 states.

Still a bit confused

When I was a very young child, living in Long Beach, CA, I believed Santa Ana winds came from the city of Santa Ana (in the next county to the South). Why else would the winds be named that?

um... just me

I thought that Washington, D.C. was in New York.

I used to think that Africa was in South America, because I'd heard that S.A. was very hot and I knew for sure that Africa was.

In the city where my grandmother lives, there is a tall building near the highway. Everytime we drove passed by it I thought it was the state of Texas (where my Aunt lived at the time) because it was called Donahue and my aunt went the Phil Donahue show, which was located in Texas. Wild, huh?

I used to think that each house was a different state.

Wow, America sure is small!

My dad was a journalist, and so we used to listen to the news on CBC Radio all the time. I was born in New Brunswick and lived there till I was 5. From listening to the news, I somehow gathered that Moncton and Moscow were the same city.

We have a Iot of family in Chicago and when I was young, I thought Chicago was a state.

I used to believe that the world was just infinite in all directions. I didn't understand the concepts of space and planets. I just thought that there was infinite "world" in all directions and that new land and ocean were always being discovered. The times when I believed that were wonderful and the world was still a mystery. Now that I know I feel that the world is no longer a mystery and am kind of depressed about it. Ignorance Is Bliss!

When I was a kid I thought that Germany must be a place of many germs, that being how it got its name (germ + many).

Veronica

I believed that Lap-Land was actually a place where all lap dancers were, and i couldn't understand why fathers took their son's there i thought it was a bit sick! lol

I used to think Canberra was in Queensland, somewhere near where Mt Isa is. I don't know why I thought this, to this day I can't for the life of me remember what made me think this, I grew up in Hobart (enough said, lol)...it wasn't until I was back to Sydney in Year 7 that I found out where Canberra really is.
