What Strange Aberrational Idea Of History Did You Have As A Child? Don't ask me why, but as a child I always believed that the Pilgrims' ship (the Mayflower) was some sort of cruise ship.

Moreover, I pictured the first Thanksgiving as this catered in-door resort banquet with sumptuous turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and plenty of pumpkin pie. What weird idea of history did you have as a child?
