I was told by some neighbor's kids that there was a hole under the driver's seat of my dad's truck and in the hole there was a huge floating fire and then if you went through the fire you would fall onto the road and die instantly. I started crying when they stuffed my teddy bear under the seat and I tried to save him but was afraid to die. Luckily, my dad found out a couple hours later and told me they were kidding.

On one of the meters on my dad's car, one of the sides had the word "brake". I asked my dad what would happen if the arrow went to it, so he jokingly told me the car would break. So, I spent most of my car rides as a child worriedly watching to make sure the arrow never went to "brake".

When I was 5, I thought that if someone driving a car was pulled over by police officers three times, they were arrested and taken to jail. I had also saw a commerical on T.V. for premium gas, where there was this car and it was going really fast into the horizon.
Well, one time at the gas station my dad was buying premium gas for the car, and I started to cry because I thought that the premium gas would make him go too fast and get pulled over, and I didn't want him to go to jail for getting his third ticket.
I used to think that the commercials and stuff that said don't drink and drive meant drinking anything. I was trying to decide if when I grew up I would go thirsty or just not go anywhere.

On the busews in Victoria there are signs that say "Please leave by rear doors." My Mum told me she believed that the signs were written by a man named Rear Doors who owned all the buses in order to transport his large family around. He was telling the other passengers to "please leave" his bus.

When I was little my mom used to tell me that the traffic lights had computers in them. I would imagine little mice coming to work each morning to work these big computers. Kind of like the ones on Star Treck.
