This is about something my sister believed that I told her. She was always asking what would happen when she went through puberty. Well, I kept telling her and she wouldn't believe me. Finally I told her that when she grew up and went through puberty she would turn into a boy. This seemed to satisfy her and she believed it for several years. Then as she got older she began asking my mom to buy her boy's clothes. When my mom asked her why she told her what I had said. My mom told her the truth and now today she can't see why she ever believed me.
My sisters are 11 and 13 years older than me - 18 months apart. I used to believe that I would catch up to them and then we would all get older together.

i used to think that what age you were was the time you went to bed, so 7pm when 7 years old, 8pm when 8 etc. - i couldn't wait for my 12th birthday.

When I was around four or five, I used to believe that adults were just born adults and that children were just born children. Being a somewhat eccentric child who was bothered by the stupidity of what were normal kids, my mother got a great laugh when I exclaimed rhetorically - 'Why couldn't I have been born an adult!' The frustration stayed with me right up until about puberty, even after matters had been cleared up for me.

Growing up I believed that as time would go by you would automatically get wiser! I belived this for years and years. Now that I am fairly grown myself, I have learnt that in order to get wiser you have to apply yourself.

My sister and I used to believe that as we grew older we would turn into men, and that our little brother would turn into a woman. We had an incredible sense of justice and thought it was only fair that you got to live half your life as each sex.
We must have been about 5-6 years old, and kept asking our mum when we'd turn into boys. One day she got mad and told us to "stop talking nonsens!". It was a shock. We cried.

Until I was about 10, I was certain I was going to catch up on my big brother and be the same age and size as him one day... because I wanted to duff him up.

When my older sister was teasing me or being mean to me when I was younger, I used to tell her: "Just WAIT till I'm older than you, THEN you'll pay for everything you ever did to me..!" I was convinced that when you reached a certain age, you would start all over again...

I used to belive that the older you got the taller you got. And you never stoped growing, and I belived you never died. So I thought 80 year old people was like 20 inches or something. Until the day I went to see my grandparents....
Christine Getz
When I was four, I believed that it would be impossible for me to become older than fifhteen. I was absolutely shure I were going to die before I got THAT old.
Gudrun
When I was very small, I thought that as we got older, we went back in time. So I figured I'd get to be a gladiator when I grew up.

When my stepson was 5 he said he wanted to be a prawn cracker when he grew up. Puzzled, I asked him to explain - he said "you know - those boys who walk around town carrying radios playing loud music". I eventually worked out he meant "punk rocker"!
Marina
i used to believe that when teenagers dated, the guy had to be older than the girl.

not understanding age just yet, i asked my dad why his hair was grey and mine was blonde - i was about 4 years old.

When I was a child, I thought that grown-ups were adult.

When I was young there were a lot of foods I didn't like. My grandma, who was the one who cooked used to tell me that adults liked all foods and that I wasn't going to grow up until I started liking all foods. I believed her for awhile, but still wouldn't eat certain foods.

When i was 5-6,i think....I USED TO BELIEVE that the our names change when we are 'big' and i was thinking a lot what my name shall be,i wanted to prepare myself...

My younger sister got so upset at always being younger than I. So, one time when I threw in her face "I am older than you, that's why" she answered "Wait until I get older than you!" I tried to correct her, telling her it would never happen. She stated, matter-of-factly, "After you turn 24, you start counting backwards! I will be older than you then!"
Now that we are both past that age, I remind her often that i am actually younger than she is... and will be until we start counting forward again! My poor sis, she just can't win!

I used to think that only grown ups were "people".Children to me were no people ,they were just children.
