Не только русскоязычные товарищи страдают ностальгией по детским заблуждениям...

I used to believe

when i was younger i overheard my parents talk about the CIA and since we spoke Spanish, when they said CIA it sounded like the word "silla" (which means chair in English). so for a long time i thought that there was this great big huge wooden chair that only very powerfull people used to sit in.

When I first learned about French, I thought that every word in English would be the same in Freanch, except 'le' or 'la' would be in front.

Not long after my discovery, I met a girl named Larissa. I had never heard such a funny name before and assumed that it was French (it's actually Russian). That night I looked in my dictionary and found that Rissa means 'the genus Laridae'.

Genus is a species, and Laridae is the scientific name for 'gull' as in the kind of bird.

From then on I thought that my friend turned into a seagull every night and would turn back into a little girl in the morning so she could go to school.

At about age 3, I thought that the tip money my parents left on the table was actually for Me as some sort of reward for finishing my meal. I'd stash the $$ in a hole in my mattress, so my mom finally found it one day while re-arranging my room. She spent the next week driving to area restaurants trying to compensate the wait staffs that had been stiffed!

When I was a kid, I'd never heard of Wales, so I thought that Princess Diana was Princess of Whales. I always pictured her riding on an orca.

Это просто пять - там есть над чем посмеяться!

When I was young, I really used to believe that 'R.I.P.' (on a gravestone) meant 'Return If Possible.

а про косоглазого медведа вообще улет

friend's aunt was quite unsure why during the holy mass she had to sing a song about a cross-eyed bear called gladly. years later she found out that she was supposed to be ready to support jesus by confirming "gladly, the cross i'd bear"
