That Showbiz Pizza (now Chuck E. Cheeses) was closed when it rains. LOL, one day when I guess my Aunt was trying to get out of taking us there, and it happen to be raining, so that was the reason given to us as to why we weren't going. I believed that through childhood until 10 or 11.

For much of my childhood I believed Lincoln was spelled Lincon. Then one day when I was about nine years old I noticed a book that spelled it Lincoln... So I looked it up in other sources... then I wondered if somebody had quietly been changing the spelling from what I had known all these years to the new spelling with two L's.
That was my first conspiracy theory, and the only one I really believed for a short time. I never mentioned it to anybody though, because even then I was observant enough to realize if I was wrong and it had always had two L's everybody would think I was silly. And I was.

This is kind of embarrassing but I thought three was pronounced “free”. I did that until I was 8. In third grade my mom and my teacher enrolled me in some speech therapy class.
One day the teacher heard me use ‘th’ in a word and was shocked. I think she rolled her eyes pretty hard when she realized I just sidn’t know it started with th instead of free.

I used to think that babies were either delivered by birds, or airplanes.
As a kid, I heard my Mom explain to someone at church that, "Other people's babies were brought by storks, but my baby (being adopted) came on a 747."
Fast forward a few years later.
Wait, what? Babies don't actually just magically appear for a bird or plane to fly them home??!!!
Alas... I must now take a moment of silence for my great loss of innocence.

I thought when I was told not to make a silly face because it might stay that way, it just might. 
Wait, it's not true, right??

I remember when I was a small child my mother told me that if I did not finish my milk after I ate my cereal, Bessie the cow would ring her bell and Bessie along with other cows would come trample me. The more I think about it now the more I think that was a cruel thing to tell a small child!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. When he was born, how did he know what an ice cream cone is?
Same feeling when you try to figure out how the people in Star Wars, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, knew what a falcon is. They named a ship the Millenium Falcon, but falcons are on Earth, in a galaxy far, far away from them...
