That's called being colour blind and does exist LOL :P

I used to think the hover would kill me or something if I went near it. LOL.

I once got scared to go down on christmas because i thought Santa was sleeping on the sofa, and if i went down and woke him up he wouldn't give me presents :(

Colourblind generally refers to not being able to differentiate between certain colours. I'm talking about if everyone saw colours differently, the contrast between colours would still be there it's just that blue could look blue for one person and and green to another.

I waited for my letter from Hogwarts :( Convinced I was a Muggle-born.

I understand and think that to. But theres no way to prove, because we may all see it differently :D

I used to think that everything was black and white, Wednesday was pronounced weddingsday, urmm that the alarm things that when movement is sensed glow red was santas elves watching if you were good or bad.

There's this thing called "Parachute" where you literally hold a multi-coloured circular sheet (Like a parachute) and you all hold on to it to play games when you're little. When I was told we were going to do parachute at school I thought we was going to be parachuting out of planes which I was very excited about, I was disappointed to say the least.

Its a common view in psychology and whats known as a subjective view of reality, different shades and colours can be termed as the same because no one see can what anyone else sees. So what I see as red, might be green to you, but you define the green as red because you've grown up with that colour being defined as red, likewise you may see something as blue where I see it as yellow, but I would still define it as blue.

Also, hogwarts. God I was disappointed.
