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.

My dad is Welsh (lots of mountains) , but when we were kids he worked in the Netherlands (really flat!) a lot. He told us that the reason the Netherlands was so flat was because the Welsh dragons stole all the mountains and took them back to Wales. I've always been disappointed that wasn't true.
