Whenever I got in major trouble, my dad would always shout, of course, "You're grounded!"

I thought he made up that word, so about a year later when I heard it on TV, I thought my father must be famous, his new word was popular enough that it's now being displayed on television!

I used to believe my grandfather was Mahatma Gandhi. When people used to talk about Mahatma Gandhi..I used to think..they are talking about my granddad.

When I was younger I believed your second cousin was the cousin that was born second closest in age to you. And Ironically enough my real second cousin was the second closest in age to me.

My parents did not get married until I was 15 years old, so as I child my parents and different surnames and I took my mothers. It should be noted that my parents still LIVED together, they just didn't get married. I, as most children do, thought that every family was basically the same as mine. So, when I was about 5 or 6, we went on holiday with another family. There was something about this family which rather confused me, so I asked my mum "mummy, why do they all have the same surname?". Well it DID seem rather strange....

I used to belive that parents were able to see what ever you are seeing even when they are not around.So i used to be realy scared of doing anything bad or that would get me in trouble.

Brandon Quintana,

Based on tales spun by my grandad I used to believe that sitting with your back to a fire would dry the marrow in your spine out. It was only till I was about 28 that I realised the he had been bullsh!t!ng me and wanted me to shift so he could get his share of the heat.

One time when I was little I tried to french kiss my mom by sucking on her nose. She pulled away and said "what are you doing" and I explained I was kissing like in the movies. She told me that only mommies and daddies can kiss like that and i grew up for a long time laughing at the ignorance of my mom everytime I saw someone without kids french kissing.

I have three older brothers who used to tease me and make up all kinds of things that I, with my active imagination, would believe. When I was around 8 or 9 years old, they told me Dad was in the Ku Klux Klan, and that he hid his white sheet in the closet. I searched for quite a while and never found the KKK sheet. Of course, it was a big joke. I never found it to be funny!

When we were little my mum used to tell me and my sister that if we were bad she would take us back to the shop where she got us and change us for nicer children. We believed her for a long time!

i used to believe that if i pulled on my dad's belt, a hole would open up under his feet and the ground would swallow him up!

I used to believe that you just 'got pregnant' you didnt have to actually do anything for it to happen. I also didn't understand about relatives and thought you had to choose what you wanted to be. Eg: you could only choose to be either an aunt, a mother, a cousin, a grandmother etc.

I was the only blonde in my family. My 2 sisters had dark hair. Until I was about 10 years old I thought that I was adopted.

I used to tell me little sister that she we adopted her from circuis people, we are 5 years apart, but look exaclty alike. She believed it up until my Mom finally had to take her to a circuis and show her that she didn't look like anyone there.

When I was a kid my mom and I would drive by nursing homes and I remember thinking that it was very sad that all the babies without moms had to go there to get "nursed".
