When I was young, I thought... Page 2
I was embarrasingly old before it dawned on me that "cat's eyes" were not real cat's eyes. (It seemed such a sensible form of recycling.)
When I was a kid I could never understand how people could "give up drink" and not die of dehydration.
My poor son only learned when he had his first child, that parks are NOT only open for 15 minutes, once a week.
I used to write it as "Once apollo time..." instead of "Once upon a time...". Not sure what my thoughts were when I read the correct way, I must have just chosen to ignore it.

I used to think people said "In this daneage" instead of "in this day and age". I always understood what it meant, not sure why I misheard it for so long.
I used to think that every football match ever played was for a trophy. If that were true my team Lincoln City's trophy cabinet would still be bare as they only ever seemed to draw 1-1 with Carlisle.
When I was about 12, we were told by one of the nuns at school, that if we were ever to sit on a boys lap we were to put a sheet of brown paper between us. I still ponder on that one.

I carry a sheet around with me to this day.
that 'for he's a jolly good fellow and so say all of us', was 'for he's a jolly good fellow and sossy all abus'. I thought it was some other language. I was over 20 when I found out what it actually was.
Up until about 20 minutes ago, I thought "officiousness" was characterized by a love of rules, paperwork etc.
Apparently it's more like "being a busybody" or "poking your nose in". More Ellie than Aaron.
Learn something new every day.
I used to think my mum could read my thoughts. After years of counseling I've since realized that NO ONE CAN READ MY THOUGHTS.
