When i was in 4th grade. My mother told me that babies came from the heaven and god made them just the way they look now. Well i truly thought this so i told one of my friends at school that we were going to be this small for ever i later found out that we still grow after you come out of your moterd stomach

I used to believe that people grew backwards, too. My older sister complimented me on a dress, for instance, and I told her I'd put it away for her for "when she was my age".
Maybe I had some early knowledge of reincarnation... or perhaps I just watched too much "Mork & Mindy".

When I was 3 years old, I thought that you could switch genders as you grew up. People with dominant personalities would become male adults while people with passive personalities would become female adults.

i used to believe that some day i'll catch up with my brother and never have to be the younger one again!!!!

I used to believe that grown-ups, especially my parents, never cried. Really messed me up when it happened for the first time.

I could never remember how old my parents were, but when I was in 5th grade I figured out that my dad was 3 years older than my mom, and 30 years older than me, so it would be like me dating a 2nd grader, which I thought was gross. To this day, to figure out my parents ages, I add 30 years to me for my dad, and then think 5th grade/2nd grade to figure out my mom.

When i was little i used to think that Adults just kept on growing and thats how giants were made. I always wondered Where the lived and if the ever grew their heads right through there house roof. Then i cam up that they lived in mansions. I believed till i was about 10 when my mom told me she had stopped growing.

when i was younger, i didn't like it that my brother was older and therefore stronger and cleverer than me. one day someone told me that i would be as old as him some day. i thought that meant that when he was about 20, i would catch up and be 20 aswell. i'm still waiting

The Dipper

i had a younger cousin.. and when we asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up he responded "a girl". he continued this desire to be a girl for about a year, and truly believed that it was possible, just like someone becomes a fireman, he could become a girl.

when i was a little kid i beleived i was never going to grow up, i was going to be a kid forever. i thaught grown ups were born already grown up and that was how you got to be a grown up.

My sister is two years older than me, and when I was a little kid, I believed it was possible for me to some day catch up in age with her and maybe even be older than her! At my birthday every year, I would anxiously check to see if we were closer in age than we had been before the birthday, but we never were...

I used to think that grown-ups were always grown-ups and kids will always be kids

Smurfette

I was always a big kid. I was the only one in the elementary school who ordered the plain milk cartoons. I thought that it was why i was so tall. It had aged me. Thi smade me sad because i thought when i hit 30 i'd look 70.

My grandmother had alzheimers, and when I was little and heard the grown-ups talking about it, I always thought they were saying "old-timers".
