Earliest Memories of the World Outside (was Forcing Kids To Watch History Made)

Late last month, we had a thread on childhood beliefs - and at the 
end of the thread, Elkins wrote:

I was pointed to a site this morning which has a massive sorted-by-
theme collection of "childhood beliefs" - you can find the site 
here: http://iusedtobelieve.com/

As the site says, "i  used to believe is a collection of ideas that 
adults thought were true when they were children. it will remind you 
what it was like to be a child, fascinated and horrified by the 
world in equal parts. the following pages will reassure you that the 
things you used to believe weren't so strange after all..."

So I am sharing this, in hopes that some of you might get a kick out 
of it - or add your beliefs to the collection.
