I used to think that people never stopped growing. When my mom talked about clothes she'd owned for years, I couldn't understand why she hadn't grown out of them.

When I was little I didn't comprehend growing old. I thought that when kids grew up they moved out of the family home and never saw their parents again. The parents would then have more children to replace them and so on.
With this in mind I casually asked my mum whether she had had any children before me that I didn't know about!
She was somewhat shocked at my question!

When I was little I thought that all adults were born adults and my generation was lucky and they were born kids, I also thought that teachers lived at school and doctors lived at the clinic...ect. and only parents got to live in a house...lol

I used to believe when adults grew up only 4' 9" or lower are still classified as kids.

My brother was born the day before me, only 11 years later.

For a while I think I had him convinced that he was a day older than me, but was a midget, (and that is why he was shorter...) AND therefore,he wouldn't ever get any bigger than he was.

It got him good, but only for a little while.

I thought that adult hood started at age 21. I found out it started at 18. I thought it was weird that you reach adult hood before you finish being a teenager!

I use to think that teenagers were adults and already had adult lives.

One time, when I was a little girl (about four), my older sister asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I firmly answered, "A man."

She became very upset and argued with me about it, but I was immovably determined. She even ran and told our mother about it. Mom wasn't too concerned. (I am still female, so it appears that mom was right.)

I used to believe that you graduate high school at age 20.

When I was a little girl, growing up with fourteen brothers and sisters, our dad would tell stories at the Sunday dinner table. He opened each story by saying, "When I was a little girl . . ." For many years, I worried that that meant that I would grow up to be a man. This was complicated by his constant exhortations to eat our vegetables, "It'll grow hair on your chest!"

Until I was about 10 or so, I thought a mother and a woman were the same thing, and i thought you automatically bacame both a mother and a woman on your 21st birthday.

When my dad was very little, just two or three, he was in a white family living in an all-black neighborhood. And in fact, even his dad (my grandpa) had a very dark tan and pitch black, curly hair. So, he thought that when you grow up, you turn black. He eventually figured out that there must be something wrong with that theory because his friend, Nate, also two, was black.

I used to believe that adults were never children, and i would never be an adult and it would always be the same forever, yup, i did!

Aidan

I used to believe that if I wasn't good I'd turn into a boy, because everywhere people were always saying: "Those boys sure are awful. I wish they could be girls." Or "Dennis, if you acted more like your sister you wouldn't be in this mess." and etc.

Jeyna

when I was younger when people would ask me what I wanted to be I'd always say I wanted to be a davenport(couch)wierd huh!
