I used to think that the whole world was in black and white, just like all the old pictures and movies I had seen, then at some point we discovered color and turned it on! After that there were no more black and white pictures and movies anymore.

Its weird that this is top answer and I was about to post the same thing.

I've met a few people that believed this as a kid. My daughter actually just asked me about it a few months ago too! So we're not alone!
