I believed my mom when she told me that touching the fade/balance dials on the car radio would make it blow up. I never once questioned why a car manufacturer would implement such a thing.
I also thought the “no passing zone” or “do not pass” signs meant we couldn’t go any farther. It blew my mind that mom was such a rebel.

When I was little I would walk the beaches with my grandfather in Destin finding the coolest sea shells .Fast forward 30 years and was walking the beach with my kids and some family and made a comment I wonder why we don’t see the cool shells all over the beach anymore. My sister then told me it was because my grandfather would go to Alvin island and buy a bunch of shells and toss them ahead of time before we made the walk.

When my daughter was maybe 6 YO, we toured the White House (late 90's when you could still do this). We told her a dozen times, "go to the bathroom now, there are no bathrooms on the White House tour", every bathroom we passed on the way "go to the bathroom now, there are no bathrooms on the White House tour".
As we are standing in line she asks "If there's no bathrooms in the White House, where does the President go?"

I said "two peas in a pot" until I was like 20 and was finally corrected.

My dad and my grandpa always abided by the speed limit so I thought you physically could not go any faster than 55 on the interstate. Blew my mind the first time a car flew past us.

A couple of my earliest memories
Looking at a map during a weather report and thinking the great lakes was a strange drawing of a girl lying on her back.
Looking at the moon and thinking there was a rabbit in it.

My Dad was a school board member. When he said he had a meeting, I thought that him amd the other members played on the see saws at the school that I went to. Whenever I was by the see saws, I would point at them and tell my friends "that's where my Dad has his school board meetings".

I feared watermelons would really start growing inside me if I ate the seeds.

I was about 7 when Watergate was happening. I asked my parents what it was all about and they told me I would understand it when I was older which is the same thing they told me about sex. I grew up thinking that Watergate was a sex scandal.

Having grown up with typically racist white parents during The 60's, I thought darker black people were dumber than lighter shaded folks.

When I figured out north/south/etc. based on where I lived, I used to look up at clouds from the house that were NW of me and assumed those were over Washington state. I lived in Tara in Baton Rouge.

In Toto's song Africa I thought the line was "I watched the braves down in africa" and couldn't figure out why you'd go to Africa to watch a Braves game.

When I was about 8 I asked my mom what the towers with the blinking lights were for. She, thinking I meant the lights, said so the airplanes don’t hit them.
So I spent a few years thinking towers were being built just so airplanes didn’t hit them.
I wasn’t a very smart kid.
