I used to think that there were still dinosaurs on Australia, and that’s why no one ever went there.

As a kid I always thought burglars were constantly looking at me through windows at night. When I looked at the windows nobody was there.

This started when a guy actually did this to our family while eating dinner and a cop eventually caught the guy. Needless to say, I still get anxious at night about burglars.

I used to think that Lord of the Rings was about a ring master in a circus.

I used to think that Teridax and Makuta were different people.

I once thought that the Toa Mata, Nuva, and Phantoka/Mistika were different characters.

I used to think that touching rust would give you an incurable disease that would kill you within a day or so.

I always read the Disney logo as “Walp Gisnep” as a kid (I thought the D was a G backwards).

Then I discovered the “G” was actually a D.
