Okay, when I was a young kid I thought that the world was black & white when my parents were kids because all of their childhood photos were in black & white. I remember being glad that the modern world was in color.

I used to think the world was fair.

sorry im not familar with "toy story"

The only thing I vaguely remember is being extremely tiny (maybe 3 or so) and thinking that when our TV was shut off at night that all the TV stations around the world stopped broadcasting. It was quite a shock to come back and flip it on myself one evening to see stuff was still 'playing' even when our screen was off.

When I was 5 I used to watch this program called "Play School" and they would talk to you throught the tv. I used to think they could actually see me!
Plus I used to think that the music on the radio was played by actual people at the radion station. Never did think it was strange that so many different acts would fit in the dj's booth.

they CAN see you
My mum was recording a tape-letter to her mum and said to my sister who was about 3 "say hi to granny" and my sister started howling and ran away, when she settled down a bit she said from behind the chair "is grandma really in there?" pointing to the tape recorder

I used to think my grandmothers lipstick smelled sooooo good. Whenever she'd get ready to go out for the day or night, shed get dressed and come out of the bathroom with lipstick on. And smelled so yummy. Once in a while when I wasn't around her, I'd catch a whiff of the same scent and I'd look around for who might be wearing her lipstick. I never found anyone wearing it.
Then, years later, I learned that my grandfather bought her a bottle of Chanel No 5 for every birthday and Xmas present. (Incidentally, when he died, I took over that duty. ) I smelled it and recognized the scent and realized that all this time I thought her lipstick was Chanel No 5 scented. I guess I just saw the visual of the lipstick and caught the smell and associated it with that.

my mum said she only ever had sex 2 times (she only had 2 kids) and she insisted both times she was unconscious because daddy banged her head against the bedhead. I used to think that was funny at the time! I knew it wasn't true since their bedroom door was locked on MANY occasions!

i use to think that there were people at the radio station performing live.

This thread is hilarious!!!

The only thing I can remember is believing that if you sucked or chewed your pencil, you would get lead poisoning....You know, from the CARBON "lead" in the pencil?! I remember thinking it again years later in my teens after I had studied chemistry, "oh no I might get lead poisoning... Oh my God girl you are stupid!!"
