Traffic lights are operated by creatures who live inside them

When I was real little I u believed that little leprachauns lived in stop lights and changed the color whenever they felt like it.

I used to think that there were little men who lived in stop lights, and they could see outside. To make the lights change, they would look out, see if traffic was safe, and flick switches inside.

I used to believe there were little men inside traffic lights. Their jobs were to push different buttons to make the lights change colors. I wanted to be a little man who worked in their when I grew up. :-)

When I was little, I thought that there were little men in the street lights that changed the color of the light. I imagined them as one being tall and skinny and the other being short and fat, and when the street lights were broken, that meant the little men were sick.

When I was a child I believed there were little men in traffic lights whom seen when you pulled up to it and decided when they wanted to change them to green. I Think as I got older them little men began to hate me .. especially when I got my drivers license and was in a hurry.

When I was little I used to think that there were mice in the traffic lights. There was one on each side and they would hold up the colored lights. Then there was one in each corner that would look out at the traffic with binoculars and tell the others when to change the light.

I used to beleive that little men operated the traffic lights from inside. They were really skinny and had white long beards and they had elevators to get to the levels where they swiched on and off the lights, and catch the people who went though red lights Then there was a power outage and the lights weren't working so I told my mom that the men would fix it...

When I was about six, I had a mad obsession with horses. I thought about them every day, collected horse things, bought horse magazines - but the maddest thing I ever believed was that in traffic lights, (why traffic lights??) There was a horse, all cramped, who sat IN the traffic light and pressed different coloured buttons and the lights would appear. Don't ask why, I just did, OK?

When my daughter was about 5, she believed that a mouse ran around inside the trafic lights, changing it from red to green

my sisters led me to believe that there were very small men inside traffic lights who would control the lights when they saw the cars lining up.

my parents also managed to convince me that the television only worked for the half hour sesame street was on. when i went to other kids' houses and saw their televisions on all the time my parents convinced me that they had special televisions. i don't know why i didnt just try to turn the thing on.
