I didn't know what months on a calendar were yet, so I used to believe that summer vacations from school was one full year. I thought that turning from 2nd to 3rd grade was the same as turning 6 years old to 7 years old. So I believed that summer vacations were 1 year long.

I used to believe that when the clocks changed and people said we'd lose an hour or gain an hour, we lost or gained that hour every night at midnight.

Also, when people said their watch was fast, I thought it meant that the hands went round faster than normal.

i used to think that inanimate objects came to life after midnight. i dont even remember someone telling me that, just thought it up. also for some reason i always thought it would be neat to say hello to a streetlamp.

When I was young, I used to wonder
how different things got their
names. When I was about eight years
old, I remember walking to, and from,
church, every Sunday morning, with my
dad. I thought Sunday must have been
called that, because it was sunny.
The only problem was, it always seemed
that my dad and I would get caught in
rain showers, on our walks, every Sunday.
I couldn`t understand this, and I
remember, on countless occasions, asking
my dad why they called it Sunday. I
told him I thought they should have
called it RAINDAY!

When I was little my dad used to watch the weather channel and they would always talk about the wheat days and I wondered why until I asked my dad and he said they were week days.

I thought that when someone said it was 'a quarter after two' that it was 25 minutes after two, because a quarter is 25 cents.

I have a friend who is a freshman in college this year. She was in a class and notice on the sylabus that she had off on a monday in january and it said, "MLK Day" below it. She raised her hand and asked the professer, "What is Milk Day." The class, while giggling, told her that's a day when you're supposed to got to a farm and milk a cow. She said, "Oh, weird, I've never heard of that." So from now on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day will always be "Milk Day."

When I was little, I was just BENT on going back to the dinosaur age like Calvin and Hobbes. I made a box, drew on it, and sat in it for over 48 hours at a time. I'd occasionally yell "MOM! I THINK I'M TOO HUNGRY FOR IT TO WORK!" so she'd bring me some stuff. So finally, I went back to the dinosaur age, but my mom was like "No dinosaurs, it's time for school." I woke up...depressed.

When I was little (say, 6 or 7 years young) I used to believe that in different states, countries, places, and towns that I would be in a different year. For instance, when we went to England...I thought that the year was 1887...and when we when to France, i thought it was 1908... or when we were at home it was "normal" time.

Man, I was a confused kid.

I used to believe that Christmas happened every once in a while because people decided to put up lights.
I never connected it with years or anything.
