And now for an actual one:
I used to think that there were cheat codes in real life, but no one knew about them yet.
I used to think there were cheat codes on every single video game, and people just randomly find them (some probably do, but I think most are released otherwise). I always thought "I'm gonna be the very FIRST one to find a cheat for this game!"
Then I would ask my dad if I could be a member of gamewinners.com because I thought I had found a super cool glitch. My avatar would walk in circles by itself. Turns out, my controller brown townog stick was moved a trivial amount to the right.
Oh! I used to think that our house had secret passage-ways because there was one loose board on a pillar...
From 2005-2006, I lived in a house that really
did have secret areas that I never went in. These areas had wild animals that got through the roof in them though, like bats, raccoons, and squirrels.
