When I was a kid I thought that each state had its own money and border controls and such. This is probably because as a kid growing up in Michigan the only time I left the state before I was a teenager was going to Canada combined with the fact that the tiny little village I grew up in had a payphone, so my friends and I would amuse ourselves dialing random 1-800 numbers and I thought the guy who answered once said he was was the Ohio Border Patrol. I also remember being on a boat in the Soo locks when I was perhaps 5 and thinking that the Canadians we saw in another boat spoke Canadian and that there was no way to communicate with them. I also thought that any city larger than a few tens of thousands of people was so dangerous that it was basically a war zone and that you'd be lucky to drive through one and make it out alive.
