aeroplanes

i used to believe that when people went on planes, the plane would come to your front yard to pick you up. i never knew about airports.

I used to always want to go to the airport even if I wasn't going anywhere and every time I go I used to think I was getting closer to the counrty that person was going.

When I was young my mother told me that airplanes would land on people roofs and lay eggs to have baby planes I of course said nooooo, so then she took me outside and there were egg shells all over the sidewalk I was convinced for a year that planes did lay eggs on peoples roofs

I used to belive that when you push the flush button on the airaplane toilet a hole would open in the bottom of the airplane and shoot everything out, so I used to push the button and jump back so I wont get sucked in..
Thats how I explained the noise and the air presure

I also belived all the poop and pee would shower down on the people below and I asked at the airlines once, did I get some weird stares or what!

I used to believe that by just shutting the door to the airplane bathroom would cause the "occupied" sign to come on. I didn't realize you had to lock the door first.

if heavy people went on a plane i thought that it would tip over.

I believed that airplane contrails were zippers that separated day and night. When unzipped, darkness would spill out, thus causing nighttime.

I used to think that countrys were layed on top of eachother with clouds in-between and thats why we took areoplanes, because they would fly us up there.

When I was little about 3 or 4 I used to beleive that Planes ate pencils. We had a long commute to get to day-care every day so i would draw in the car and when ever a plane flew over i would start screaming and would hide all of the pencils! (We lived within 1 mi. of an airport so this happened every 5 min.)

I always thought that when you went on a airplane, it had to be early in the morning becuz when i was little, we always left before dawn. The whole logic of the situation didn't occur to me until i went on a plane in the middle of the day and didnt understand what was going on.

when i was little, i used to believe that airplanes goes out of space.

When I was younger, I lived near a small airport. When planes would fly over the house, i always thought that they were searching for me. So when i saw a plane coming I would run for cover under a tree.

When I first went to the top of the St. Louis Arch (about 5 yrs. old) I thought I was in an airliner because of the small windows and the view of the city. Apparently I had completely forgotten the elevator ride to the top!

My mom was going on a plane trip... and my cousin was over... she told me mom to say hi to the care bears for her...

when I was just a wee kid, I thought that when you brought dogs on airplanes, they put the dogs in wings. just loose, running around in a big free-for-all dog party in the wings up at 30,000 feet.

when i was little andi was going to go on my first plane ride my father pointed to a plane in the air and said 'thats what we're going on!' i didnt quite understand perspective, or that planes landed so i said 'but how will we all fit its so small? and how do we get up to it its so high up?' God what an idiot i was!
