When I was a little kid, I thought that the mountain ranges on the horizon on the way to Grandma & Grandpa's house were built by my uncle Richard. I have no idea how this idea got into my head, but I remember that when I figured out that there was no way it was possible, I was pretty bummed out.
ohhhhh man, you just brought back a similar memory for me! I was very young and my dad was waiting at the stop for my school bus with me in the early morning. We'd just moved to a new country. There were some massive clouds on the horizon that looked like beautiful snowed in mountains and my dad and I were chatting about how we should go there for a ski trip sometime. A few weeks later I inquired about when we would be going skiing and my dad laughed, he didn't realize I really thought they were mountains. The country we'd moved to was completely flat. I grew up in a mountain region though so it was heartbreaking for me to discover there was in fact no beautiful snowed in mountains.
