I used to think Dracula was some sort of top politician for America living in Philadelphia

no idea where i got this idea from, except i guess Transylvania sounds like Pennsylvania, but i doubt i even knew Philadelphia was in Pennsylvania

I used to think only men could get meningitis...I kept saying to my mother "...but why is it called meningitis if women can get it too?"

My mum has a scar on her neck where she had her thyroid removed, and when I was younger I used to believe that she'd had her head chopped off and then sewn back on :redface:

I wouldn't believe anyone that told me different...

When I was 7 I used to believe that you had like a 'quota' for the number of words you could say in a day and if you exceeded it you wouldn't be able to talk any more! That's why I'm so shy! :tongue:

When I was a kid, I used to think the laugh track on TV shows was to let you know when you should laugh. So every time I heard it I'd laugh, even though I never understood any of the jokes... :angelblush:

There's a brand of duct tape called duck, so I guess it doesn't matter so much.

I guess mine's the usual one of the olden days lacking any colour whatsoever

My Grandad was being a whiny old man once and moaned about me watching Friends because the canned laughter "did his head in". It wasn't something I'd paid any attention to before, but having had it pointed out, it really annoys me now.

Tiny little joke = uprorious laughter. Stop telling me what's funny, dammit!

What did you think it was like before even black and white cameras were invented? Maybe that everything was painted. :wink:

Thinking teachers training day was a day in which teachers exercise.
Didn't realise until I was like 12 what it meant

I used to think that when a teacher was unable to teach because they'd gone on a course, it was meant that they were doing a golf course.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also used to think all the parked cars I saw at the side of the road had crashed and been abandoned.
