As a child, I used to believe that #2 'The people in the aeroplane can see us waving at them'

When we were around 7 or 8 years old, my friends and I used to wave at every aeroplane that flew above our area, thinking that the passengers in them could see us and would wave back. Later in our science classes, we discovered that they can't see us. Anyways, it was fun to wave at strangers and expect a loving reaction from them. It shows how innocent we were, back then. I think, every one reading the post must have done the same at least once in their childhood and perhaps even had a similar belief.

Yes, I think I used to wave at them and believe that they could see me. I am pretty sure my family would tell us kids to wave.

I never waved at any planes they were up to high in the sky to see me. But I did wave at helicopters when the went by.

We waved at the high aeroplanes. We were very young and didn't understand they couldn't see.

I never waved at planes, but my brothers and I used to wave at people in cars who were behind our car. If they waved back, we giggles.

@Sheali lol I used to think that too when I was little. I can't believe I forgot that memory! Thank you for sharing this. I forgot all about me doing this when I was little and fun to know others have done it too when they were little!

@Sheali lol it seems easier to remain a child. More fun to not deal with adult stuff!
