when my family would go to mexican restaurants, i would ask my mom how the latin man got into the girl's bathroom to sing his songs....when it was really the music playing in the restaurant.

When i was younger i always thought that the 'Model Yacht Pond' was called the 'muddly up pond', it was only when i was 17 that someone told me they thought the same thing and i realised. Everyone says it so quickly that they think it is the same.

I used to believe that the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland took you to a dark place and that you were never able to leave if you didn't get off in time since they have that moving platform.

During the 4th of July, I would scream bloody murder because I thought the fireworks in the sky would fall down on me and burn me up. It was a horrible feeling

Iwas 9 years old.Mother and i where going to a theathre about Edith Piafs life. A famous norwegian actor and songstress Britt Langlie was the main attraction. I was reading the newspaper finding a day. I said to my mother: We will definitlly not go on tuesday and thirsday, then an Inga Frams is playing." My mother started lauhging and tould me that Inga Frams was a shortterm for "No Show" in norwegian dialect. I was very ebbarrasd. After this stupid saying everybody asked me about Inga Frams and how she was doing...

When I was little , I thought the zoo and the circus were one in the same and that when my parents would take me to the zoo I thought "how come they aren't doing tricks like in the circus?"

Once I went to to the circus to see a gigantic (about 4 metres) mechanical King Kong it really scared me, (as I have watched the movie before) so up until I was 7, I used to believe that the exhibition antiaerial guns outside the ministry of defense were to shot down King Kong, in case he ever cut loose from the circus.

That waterslides were filled to the top with water, so that if you got stuck or didn't go down fast enough, you'd drown. (And I still have those damn "stuck in a waterslide" nightmares)

When I was 7 my parents took me to Disney World and I came out of the It's a Small World ride singing Hit the Plumber on the Head. They really needed better speakers
