I used to beleive that my mother knew everything like the wizard of oz. My brother told me this wasn't so, but I din't believe him.

when i was little i used to call human beings human beans, and for some strange reason i thought they were evil and "baddies", and so whenever my sister told me that she was (or someone else was)a human being i used 2 break down into tears convinced that someone was gonna take her away (turns out i was the 1 who needed to be taken away :P)

I used to think that everyone's grandma had the same last name, like your dad's mom had this name and my friends grandma had the exact same name. So i went up, asked my best freind how his grandma (with my last name) was doing..he said he didnt have one. I told him how sad i was. He told me he had a grandma (his last name) i never made the connection of names....i just assumed she was a different age, hence my great-grandma having a different last name then all my others.

When I saw my grand mother was very old I used to believe an Egyptian mummy!!!!

when my sister was a toddler, my parents would jokingly tell her that her real father was the garbage man. one day when she was on the front porch with my mom, the garbage man(a large black man) was collecting trash and my sister held out of her arms and starting screaming "DaDa! DaDa!"

Once when I was maybe five or four, my sister and I were watching telly and this odd comercial came on about safety and this girl swung all the way over the top of the swingset and got turned inside out. My sister told me that was what happened, and I wasn't able to go on the swings until I was 12! i also remember asking my mum where boys weed out of and remember her distinctly telling me that boys didn't wee, it was a figment of my imagination. It was quite the oddest conversation I ever had with my mum.

Once around Chirstmas time my parents were always in their room with the door shut. I always wanted to know what they was doing in the room alone (I was 4) so I would stand on my head to look under the crack of the door. Mom finally told me that my dad was "in trouble and was grounded until Christmas". I was mortified that parents could get in trouble too and I didn't understand who punished them. Only later did I learn they were building a dollhouse for one of my presents.

Christmas Trouble

Up until my mum taught me to write my name and her name, I thought she was called 'Darling' because that's what my my dad always called her.

Up until about age 12 I was thoroughly convinced that my great grandfather had been on the Titanic. It turns out, he had just used the Titanic as an example to explain that he was on a big ship like that when he was in the Navy. It registered in my brain though and I remember telling all my friends at school that he had been on the Titanic. Needless to say it's impossible seeing as there weren't too many survivors and he was definitley not the right age.

When I was very small, since both of my grandmothers were named Clara, I used to believe that all grandmothers were named Clara.

An old neighbor of my grandparents was this gnarly, sea-dog-looking geezer whom I would visit when staying at my Grandparents house for summer or whatever. He used to be a merchant marine and he told me he could "breathe underwater" and that he would teach me how to do it too. My mind was blown by the idea. I was already enamored of the sea anyway so I would day dream about cruising underwater for hours without coming up for air. He never did get around to teaching me. Is that sort of thing possible?

My mom always referred to herself as being a tom-boy when she was younger. This had me pretty scared because now she was a girl. I thought that one day would also become a mom and have to have babies.

When I was little my mom and grandma used to say bad things about my aunt like that she was a back stabber and stuff well because they said this I was aways afraid she was going to kill me I wouldn't even eat the food she would make for me when I came to her house.
