Traffic lights are operated by creatures who live inside them

When I was little I used to believe that traffic lights were controlled by mice in a metal box next to the intersection and that they would jump on a big button for whatever color was to be next.

Someone was hanging on the back of all the traffic lights operating them and when you drove past them they would quickly jump to the other side.

I used to believe that a mini police-man was hidden in the traffic lights and changed the lights whenever he wanted

i used to believe that there were teeny people in traffic lights that would watch you and decide when they wanted to change the lights. if the light took to long i would start to cough or hold my leg and pretend to be hurt so the teeny people would feel bad for me and change the light!

When I was little I use to believe there were workers under each street intersection controlling traffic by switching lights. Pushing the pedestrian button would choke them, making them change the lights quicker. I always felt guilty pressing the button more than once.

A. there was someone at home sitting on their couch and everytime they chaned the chanle someware in the world a light would change.

I use to believe hamsters controlled traffic lights. They had to run on a wheel all day to make the lights change at different times. I believed that for a while then I got smarter and "knew" that it was a guy in an office with a bunch of remotes that had red and green on them. He didn't need a yellow one because when he pushed red, obviously, it would turn yellow for a little while before it was red.

My dad told me that traffic lights changed color because a little monkey ran along the wires and changed the light when it was time. I believed this until I was about 7.

When I was little, I believed squirrels lived inside street lights and would change them from red to green and such.

When I was little, I used to think that there were little tiny men that lived in traffic lights that turned them red, yellow, and green. I thought they would watch outside to see if cars where there so the lights would change!

When I was little I thought that sitting inside of the traffic lights, there was a gorilla with a parrot sitting on his shoulder. I thought this gorilla and parrot duo were responsible for making the lights change.

I use to believe that little elf-like people worked inside traffic lights and changed the colors back and forth for our safety.

I used to think that there were little faeries inside the traffic lights, and they would hold up a red, yellow, or green light – whichever was appropriate at the time.
