When i was little i came up with weird things to explain weird things. Have you ever seen clouds on the skyline, like that "line" in between the sky and the ground, I used to think that they were mountains, and they would dissapear (when i couldnt see clouds there) and i constantly begged my parents to go mountain climbing on them, and i thought it was soo lucks we lived near disapearing mountains.

I used to believe that there was a whole separate continent called "West Africa". It was divided into twenty-some countries. Among continents, it ranked in area between Europe and Antarctica. And where was this "West Africa" continent located? It took up a good portion of what is actually the Indian Ocean, EAST of Africa. Go figure!

When I was a child I honestly thought Chicago was a state. I don't know how old I was when I learned that it was a city in Illinois.

my boyfriend's daughter when she was about 5 or 6, everytime they drove by the ABC store (Alcoholic Beverage Stores in the States) she would beg her dad to take her into the "toy" store. She refused to believe that they didn't sell toys until he took her in and showed her that all they had was bottles!!

When I was about 6 years old, I used to go visit my grandma in Pennsylvania and we had to go through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. and they are 2 tunnels right next to each other and they go under a big mountian and they were really long.. well i always thought that when you went under them you would somehow end up on the other side of the mountian and go out the other way bak to where u came from. and u just "somehow" ended up where you were going. I believed that untill i waz about 12!! and then i finially relized that there were 2 sepret tunnels and you dont somehow turn around and go the other way! HAHA

I was amazed when I first heard that people took vacations in Bermuda because I assumed they were putting themselves in danger of getting sucked into the Triangle.
