I used to think that when you were a child that you had a "calf" muscle, and when you grew up that it became a "cow" muscle. Then you were on your way to turning into a cow.

I used to believe that little boys grew up to be girls and little girls grew up to be boys.

I thought that when you grew up, you could look completely different. I have light brown hair and hazel eyes and Im really tall. I imagined myself as a grownup with dark brown hair and blue eyes and really short.

I once thought people would keep growing until they were as big as buildings if they didn't go to the doctor.

I had grown too old to use my teats, and my mother told me that we had to give them away to Father Christmas's children. So I gave them gladly away, and belived that Father Christmas's children had got them, until some years later, when my mother should get something on the top of a cabinet, and the teats fell down on the floor..

When my sister was about four, she saw a small elderly lady about the same height as herself. She thought that after a while, old people would continue to shrink and then change into little kids. So, she asked my mom when my great-grandmother would become her age!

When I was 4 my grandma made a comment about being tired and old. I asked her how old she was. She then asked me how old I thought she was. I said, "80" (she was in her early 50's). If you weren't a child then you must be 80!

I used to believe that one day I would just wake up a teenager. I would have physically grown up and matured over night. The thing that worried me the most was, what would I wear when this happened until I could go shopping for bigger clothes?

This was actually a question asked by my brother to our paternal grandparents. "Were you around when the dinosaurs lived here?"

when i was about 4 years old... i wanted to be an explorer, so i can sail the seas and reach the edge of the world and stick my head out to see space!

I always used to hope that when I turned 21 I'd get the chance to choose whether I was a man or a woman.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out I couldn't switch.

Having an older sister when I was four lead me to believe that if things progressed logically I would first be a boy, then a girl then a man, then a woman because, well, it just followed a pattern didn't it.

I thought I had it all figured out, I argued my point, my sister said I was wrong, she said, "go ask mom" ... my argument deflated.

When I was 4 or 5 i used to think that girls started out as boys and boys started out as girls.

Rune

I used to believe that grown-ups were born "grown up" and that I would stay a little kid forever.
