    I remember arguing with my father (when I was seven) that our bathtub was bigger than the town water tower. :tongue:

    For years I did not realize that football players and hockey players wore pads... I thought they had HUGE muscles.

    I used to believe that I could float from Florida to Cuba in a hollowed-out tree.

    And also that if you laid on top of a book at midnight on New Year's Eve, you would go into the book.

    My former roommate in college was convinced if she "jiggled the cord, it made the internet go faster." Nevermind the fact we were on a T1 connection and she was jiggling the monitor cable ... but it made her feel better.

    My boyfriend (now husband) went along with it ... said, "well, yeah ... because all data is binary, which means it's all ones and zeros. Those zeroes, they can slide right through the port, but sometimes those ones get turned sideways and get stuck, so you have to jiggle it so they get turned the right way so they will go through."

    Her eyes were wide as saucers, "Really?"

    At this point he and I were both doing everything we could not to bust out laughing.

    A story about a friend, her dearest friends (ha) told her that cattle that lived in hilly areas are bred with one set of legs shorter than the other so they can walk evenly around the hills. -She was not a child at the time either. They said they are called "side-hill" cattle.

    When I was little I thought the people in the TV were just little tiny people that lived in the TV.

    That if I peed in a swimming pool, the water around me would turn bright yellow so everyone would know.
    kind of the same idea, except that that it would turn red, but now they make dye packs that do that...or so I've been told....

    This was in a movie recently, can't remember which one but a bunch of guys were in the pool and the water around them turned blue...pretty funny.

    I once cried at the store because my mom was buying Aunt Jemima Syrup. I was scared that the bottle would come to life on our table and start talking just like it did on the tv commercials.

    My parent's let me believe until I was a teenager that pancakes was spelled and pronounced panacakes.

    Also when I was little my brother told me girls pee out their butts.
