I used to belive that the girls don't necessarily grow up into women also boys don't necessarily grow up into men, and I was wondring if I would be a man or woman.

A MAN!

When I was about 11 or 12, kids at school started talking about "going out" with each other (as a term for dating). I thought they meant literally going out, and I wondered where they would go in such a small town as ours.

I used to believe that all grown-ups had an alcoholic drink when they got home from work. My parents used to watch Dallas and Dynasty and the first thing that people did when they got home was fix themselves drinks from their bar

When I was a kid, about 5 years old I used to believe that once upon a time I was a grown up girl becamed a little girl. I always use to say to my older sister,"When I was a big girl...".

that as I grew up, my parents would "grown down," then I would be the Mom and Mom would be my child.

When I was a kid I thought that grownups came out just like they are.
They grew up inside of their Mothers body and kids will allways stay small.

Dani

When I was a little girl I used to believe that when I grew up I'd turn into a man.

Jessica

I grew up in a city where immigrants settled decades before. As a child I thought that to grow old meant that you would lose your ability to speak English, as all the elderly people around only spoke Italian.

Mary

i used to believe that i would automatically know how to do things as i got older. for example: "when i turn 10, i'm going to know how to ride a bike." like i wouldn't have to learn how, but would just wake up on my tenth birthday and know how.

I was convinced that the wrinkles on an adults forehead meant intelligence. The more wrinkles the smarter the person.

My grandfather was missing his thumb on the right hand due to an accident that happened when he used to work in the oil fields. Even though we had been very close from the time I was born, I never noticed this until I was 5 years old, so well had he adapted to using his maimed hand. I noticed it suddenly one day while watching him use a typewriter in his office. The very next day, he had to leave the upper plate of his dentures overnight at his dentist's for repair. I decided that the thumb also was removeable and that this was a normal part of becoming an adult; your body parts would be replaced by larger, detachable ones.

When I was younger, I beleived that you carried on growing forever, until you died. I drew (and probably still have) pictures where I am old and a tall as buildings.

I used to think that the older you got, the taller you got. My father once mentions a 100-year-old woman that he once met, and I had this mental image of woman who towered over my dad. She didn't look elderly in my mind, just really, really tall.

I remember when I was little and thought that people grew like trees and when you were really old you could touch the clouds.

When me and my little sister were younger i told her that once you turned 13 you turned into a TEENAGER, for some reason she came to think that TEENAGERS were bad, so when a friend of ours came to visit and told her that she had just turned 13 and was now a TEENAGER, my sister ran away in tears and refused to go near her for a week. Funny thing is, my sister is now 15 and knows that being a TEENAGER ain't as bad as she thought!

When I was little and everyone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up ... One day I responded excitedly with, "I want to be a Hooker!"

Of course everyone was shocked. *Ahem* I of course was talking about TJ Hooker!! The police show that Heather Locklear was on back in the 80's.

I believed that having a lot of keys was a definite sign that you were a grown-up, because both my parents had big key holders with a lot of keys, and I only had my one house key and a very big key tag.

Laura W.

I used to believe that my grandmother was older than my grandfather because I knew that whoever is the oldest is always in charge. (In truth he was 5 years older)

Lisa M.

I used to believe that adults were incapable of crying.

Adrienne

My dad had me convinced that I would turn into a boy when I turned twelve. By the time I did turn twelve, I was 99.99% convinced he was wrong-but I checked anyway.
