When I was a kid I thought our galaxy was a tiny little molecule on a green giant's thumb. I was sure of it! I have nooo idea how I came up with this idea but it's pretty funny looking back at it now. That is just as likely as there being a higher power!

Was the green giant jolly?

When I was little I thought bands had to go to the radio station to play the music that ended up on the radio.  I had no idea what a recording was, and I thought of how hard it must be to line up all those bands.

I like your imagination. I don't think I had much of one. That's why I never liked science fiction.

When I was a kid I barely knew who Jesus was and I thought Muslims were all Ali Barba! Thank you mum and dad for never letting me near a church!

When I was a kid I thought I was part of a scene/game being watched over by some god-like creature who controlled the game for his enjoyment. I figured if I concentrated hard enough I could break through the game into the other side whereupon the controller would say: "Congratulations! You finally figured out how to break out".

If I was charismatic enough, I could probably start a religion based on the idea. LOL.
