I thought the glyph for "heated seat" in cars depicted a raised fist with the pinkie finger extended rather than a chair with heat waves eminating from it.
The Tea at the Treedome episode of SpongeBob SquarePants further convinced me I was seeing it correctly, and I since knew it as "the fancy button". In some regard, I wasn't entirely wrong.
"When in doubt, pinkie out!"
That all television, even live action, was just made by someone who could draw really fast.
β¦i thought little people lived in my parentsβ radio and television who put on shows for usβ¦

I used to greet clothing store mannequins and thought that people who didn't were very rude.
My dad has this long running bit, that if I needed his help on something, he needed to go to the shop to get a "round tuit". I remember asking what store he had to go to, and how much it cost, and being annoyed at how he hadn't gotten a round tuit yet.
He must have thought I was really committed to the bit.
my stepdad had a round tuit. you can buy them!
That we would live in peace
I used to think a car direction indicator was a GPS guiding system, and not manually operated.
That we had to pay our employer to get a job.
I thought 'tomorrow' was a day of the week. So when my mom would say we'd go somewhere 'tomorrow' I'd ask her every day if it was tomorrow yet, and she'd say no, and I'd keep waiting.
I believed that for very small creatures (like ants) time was faster.
I think that is true in a way. Since information has a shorter route to get to their brain than larger creatures, they may react slightly faster
