I used to believe that Mothercare sold babies,that Jaws might bight my bum whist I sat on the toilet,that the lady on talking clock heard me when I called her "wobbly bottom" because my dad told me so, and between the ages five to ten you had your birhday twice...so you had a little tenth birthday then a big tenth birthday when you were much older, like shoe sizes... you were a size ten childrens or size ten adults.

When I was a fairly little kid, I thought that people grew up and then they grew down again. My very old great-grandmother was quite short, because she had a bent back, and she was never super-tall to begin with, so my parents and even my grandma towered over her. I assumed you started out small, and ended up small again.

When I was about 4 my dad told me that when I turned 5 I would turn into a boy and I would freak out about it & I even cryed because I didnt wanna be a boy!

i used to believe that it was really possible to grow up to become an animal for some odd reason. so when the teacher asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up i would tell her that i wanted to be a turtle

I used to believe that adults weren't allowed to play with toys. Then my best friend's dad, who's a kid at heart, showed us his cubicle that was filled with toys. :)

I used to believe that when you turned 18 you were a grown up.

Growing up with 3 older brothers, I thought that people never stopped growing. I thought the older you got, the taller you got. When I found out my grandparents were visiting, I asked how old they were so I could imagine how tall they'd be. I was really surprised when they were both shorter than my Dad.

I used to believe that I would catch up to my older sister in age.

I used to believe that grown-ups are know-it-all and couldn't wait to become one. Now I'm 18 and I know than many kids are smarter than adults.

As I was probably the most clumsiest kid in neighborhood, I watched my older "friends" playing and I was thinking how great it would be if I grew up instantly and would be much smarter than everyone else.

When we were little my little brother believed that ages went from old to young. His favorite thing to say was " When I was 16 I drove a car...." it was the funniest thing in the world.

I used to belive that the oldest person in the family was going to be the first to die. So I made a list including all my family in an age order. I spent more time with the older ones, beginning with my grandpa. Fortunately, that allowed me to have now the best memories.

When I was very little, probably about 2 or 3 years old, I was sitting in my car seat fastening my seatbelt. I was proud that I was getting good at doing that. I thought to myself that once I'd mastered seatbelt-fastening, I just had to learn how to knit and how to do up buttons, and I'd know everything I needed to know in life!
