My dad used to work in a mine. I though he was shrunked at a dwarve size and used earthworms holes to work under the ground.

One summer I realized all kids got a break from school in the summer. So I asked Mom, "Does Dad go on summer vacation from work, too?" I guess I thought Dad was going to some kind of grown up school.

I used to think train drivers lived in the small huts or train sheds at the station'?

When I was younger, I used to believe that my mom worked as the tooth fairy. I thought that she got gold dollers from the bank, put it under my pillow, and took my tooth and...well I don't know what she would do with teeth, but that is what I thought.

I wanted to be a fireman when I was around the age of... 5 or 6, I guess. My 2 years younger sister objected; Then I couldn't be the uncle of her children!

I once told my whole family i wanted to be a dancer as in the movie Fast Foreward where dancers dance up and down the strip. Not having a particular title for the profession i called it strip dancing and being 8 years old i got some really weird looks.

When I was younger, I didn't take into account that the world was round.... So I used to wonder, "If we're the first car stopped at this stop light, then who's the very first car, in the very front of all stoplights on all the highways?" I assumed it must have been the President. THAT must have been what his job was: to lead the cars around all day.

So, I grew up with the thought of Bill Clinton sitting in a little black sedan, the first car at the very first stoplight in the world.

When I was about 4 I used to think that my parents would drive off to work and sit at their desks and then pull a gear-shift like lever at their desks and that was all they did for 6 hours a day.

I used to think that my uncle was a secret agent because everytime he came round to our house when I lived in Glasgow he used to speak to me in a series of grunts and whistles and stuff rather then in english. He'd then sly-lee give me money.

I used to believe when I was child that what elder people can do in their office work, even we children can do better if we are given a chance.

Until I understood what busy phones were,when I heard that telephone lines were busy,I actually thought they were doing some kind of work and could not be talked to by anyone until they finished their shift.

When I was younger, my sister had me convinced that Marilyn Monroe was Madonna's mother. (This was during her Dick Tracy days) I believed this for almost three years. When my sister finally told me the truth, I was DEVASTATED for quite a while.

Madonna, I am NOT your Mother

I used to think I was going to be a zookeeper. Then I went on a field trip and saw how nasty the Ape House was.
