I think the black and white thing is fairly common.
My mum says I once asked her what it was like when everything was black and white.

and me
I'd not even considered what happens in The Wizard of Oz.

I also thought that at a level crossing, the tracks stopped at one side of the road and began at the other which meant the train had to just coast across the tarmac and somehow line up with the tracks at the other side.

Is it really that common?
I asked my mother that question when I was about 4, but even then I meant it as an achingly-clever joke. (I know: it wasn't all that clever - but I was only 4, damnit.) I never actually believed that the wold was ever black-and-white. Did anyone?

what you are doing here
is underestimating just how stupid a lot of people are.

I have no doubt that at the age of 4 you were cleverer than most adults, and that is not just because you are really rather clever.
