i used to believe that my brother and I were going to switch places with my parents - that as we got bigger, they would get smaller. I was under 5, because my other brother had not been born yet - and it seemed to make sense. But I distinctly remember this belief - as it seems profound to me now - knowing that we do in a sense take care of our parents as they grow old...

When I was little, I used to think old people carried deadly diseases because they were always dying. So everytime I walked past an old person I used to hold my nose so I wouldnt breath in any of there deadly diseases.

When I was about three years old, I remember that I used to believe that the year that you were born in didn't matter when figuring out age...I thought it was only months...so like if you were born in January then you were always older than someone born in August...so since my birthday is in June when I found out that my cousin was born in July I kept insisting that he was younger than me even though he was born the year before me.

My Mum told me she was 21. Every year. I was about 10 when I worked it out, which makes my birth a tweenage pregnancy.

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.

After a fight with my older brother, I threatened him with "You just wait till I grow up and I'm older than you! You'll be sorry!"

When i was kid i use to think that adults were born in adult form and that they were never kids.
which made me mad because i believed that i would be stuck as a kid forever and never be an adult.
but i was also confused on how adults got out of their mommys bellies.

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.

My little cousin (a girl) used to believe she was a boy at one time before she was a girl and she told me "When I was a boy, I played baseball."

When i was a kid i thought i would grow up to be a woman, because i lived with my Mom and my older sister. I reckond all girls would be older and boys younger, so once i said something like: "When i am a girl i'm going to have 3 children..."

Once, we were driving through a group of greenies obstructing traffic in protest.. I looked up at them in awe and decided then and there that that's what I wanted to be. I tried to think of what those funny smelly people with painted signs were called, and a moment later hastened to tell Mum my heart's desire was to be a 'prostitute'

I used to believe that when someone was so old that they only had gray hair on their head left, they would die from it. My parents told me this to trick me into picking their gray hair.

My older sister told me that at the age of 16 girls turned into boys and boys turned into girls. I was so mad that I had been born a girl because that meant I wouldn't get to wear makeup or wear prom dresses when I grew up (because by then I would be a boy).

When I was about four or five, my grandmother had told me that because her birthday was on the 24th, and mine was on the 29th of the same month, that when she died and didn't have anymore birthdays, I wouldn't have anymore either, and I wouldn't get any older!

I used to think that everyone turned a certain age, and you could take your teeth out of your mouth.
(Because I always saw my grandparents' teeth in water at night when we visited)

I used to believe that everyone was supposed to live to the age 100 (at which age we would all presumabley drop). People only died earlier due to accidents or illness.
