My youngest son, at age 8 or so, believed that when you got your driver's license, they gave you a car to drive. Lol!

This one wasn't mine but a childhood friend of DD. He was part Native American & evidently he'd seen on TV or movies or someplace that back in the day, they'd put their ear to the ground & hear trains or the Cavalry or whatever coming. So he thought if he put his ear on the street he could hear his dad's car coming home from work. It was too cute!

My grandmother kept me busy for hours chasing birds with a salt shaker.
I also believed those lights in the tubes in radios were a city the dj was talking from. |
I was afraid to go to California, because I just knew it was going to fall off and slide into the ocean.

When we were just little kids my father told us that if we stepped on a black bird we would find a walnut inside. The 4 of us kids spent HOURS trying to step on blackbirds.
We were also told that dragon fly's could sew your ears up. We always covered our ears when we saw one. |
I thought wedding rings contained magic that made women pregnant.

Ok, who's old enough to remember the accordion player on Lawrence Welk? I thought he could see me through the tv and I called him my boyfriend. I'd wave and blow kisses to him whenever he played.

I remember watching "I Love Lucy" and I couldn't understand how they got Little Ricky because they slept in separate beds! I asked my mom and she just said " They push the beds together when they aren't on TV"!

My father would say, "Stand still and wait here, I am going to see a man about a dog". Each time I would be disappointed when he would appear without the dog. Took me at least 'til I was 6 to work out he was just going off to use the toilet......

I must have been 12 or so before I realized it was "manure" - not "barnure"
