Before I could see over the dash-board to see the blinkers on the cars ahead of us , my father informed me that the garage door opener had the power to make a car move out of our lane, he would wait till the car in front turned on the blinker and then press the button, tricked mefor years........... i really wish it still worked

When my brother and I were young, my mom told us there was a bridge to Hawaii. My brother was fascinated with this. I played it off like I knew better, but I secretly wondered how much gas it would take to get to Hawaii.
I used to think there was a little man, that lived inside each of the traffic lights in the world that opereated them
I used to believe that there were little men that lived in the boxes on some street corners and they were there to change the street lights for the drivers.
i used to think that in the subway there was a guy in front of the train steering the train around the tunnel, it made me wonder why they made the tunnels so narrow for him.
I used to believe that car headlights were like eyes and cars were really monsters. I always resisted going outside to the carport at night for fear of the "carmonster"
I used to believe that the road moved, not the car. Kinda like in the Jetsons on the moving walkway. I remember looking down at the road when we were in the car and it looked as if the road was moving, not us! I think I was 3 or 4 years old.
I used to believe that when it was sunny and my Mom put the sun visor down to shield her eyes that she could see through it. It looked like it was blocking her vision and she could see right through it.

I used to believe that airplane toilets would let your "excrements" fly out into the sky-and fall somewhere on the ground.
I used to believe that traffic lights in certain parts of the world had giant blades that would drop down if your car went through them after you were red. As kids we thought it was the coolest thing to imagine a red light runners car being chopped in half... Imagine if this was a law!
I was always impressed by what a great job the workers did flipping the switches to change the lights. Their timing was impeccable! It must've taken alot of training to learn how to do that from their offices under the streets.

When I was a child I believed that if I was ever in a plane that was going to crash I could jump out at about five or six feet from the ground and land with only a twisted ankle. I found out later that this thought was obvously flawed but it gave me comfort when I was in planes.

My brother told me that tarmac was white and that the road layers had to paint it all black before it was ready. This explained why roadworks took so long. I used to try and catch them doing the detail in the middle.

When I was little I never liked to wear a seatbelt, so I would ride on the floorboard of the car. I would lay there and I thought that the sun was blinking, when really it was the car passing tall trees making the sun flash. I thought this for a while until I stood and stared at the sun for a while one day.

A wicked co-traveller once told me when i was 3 years old that a stopped train would start again if you put your hand out and waved. I tried it then and it worked. 10 years later, i realized what a sucker he was..

In the back of our old Chevy Blazer, the radio speaker was right below a pullout ashtray. When i was 3 or 4, i believed that if you pulled on the "little box's handle" (the ashtray), the person who was on the radio talking or singing at the time would pop out.
