Another thing I thought of when I was 8 was there was little people living under traffic lights controlling them. Literally thought it happened until I was 13
I used to think that the car would automatically sense which way you wanted to go and would indicate accordingly. I was so disappointed when I was informed that you have to manually turn the indicator on.
I thought that if you bought something at a beach you had only to buy it using sand dollars... I believed that up until I went around collecting 37 of them to buy this necklace I really wanted and then my mum explained that's not how it works. I was four. My mum still tells that story and laughs.
I thought that adults could control the traffic lights because they would always count to three and then say go green, and they would always turn green...I learned later that they would watch the other traffic lights from the other side.
I used to think ATM's gave out free money and that all the cars in traffic were racing each other.
I used to think ATMs gave out free money too. My mom said when I was little I asked her to buy me something and she told me she didn't have enough money so I said "just go to the cash machine!" If only life worked that way.

I thought Spain was only across the road. So when I had a day off from school and the teacher asked where I was, I told her I went to Spain for the day.
I'm still young...so, bringing back a bucket of freshly caught mackerel and a pair of rock lobsters hooked out of a rocky seaweedy pool. The price of lobster is astronomic!
