I thought Alzheimer's was Old Timers for the longest time. I've asked a bunch of people and it seems i was alone in this. Hey looking back i think i was clever, wrong but clever.

I used to believe that one day, my younger brother would be older than me and then he'd pick on me!

I used to believe that when you got to certain age you had all your teeth removed, this was because both my parents have false teeth. (I now attend the dentist regularly!)

When I was 10, I used to believe that 'blind date' was about a person who dates a man or woman who's eyes were blind.

I used to believe that when you got older you would be able to read other people's mind. I thought this because I would watch my mom and her friends talking and one would start a sentence and someone else would finish it.

When I was little I had a very balanced, cyclical view of life. First of all, I thought little boys grew up to be "big girls" (i.e., women) and little girls grew up to be "big boys" (i.e., men). When my parents told me I would never be a big boy, I cried.

At the same time, I also thought that young people got old and old people young. By the time I was my grandmother's age, she would be my age! I don't remember when this illusion was shattered.

I didn't really know where to put this but here was one of my beliefs-
When I was little, I liked animals so I wanted to be a vet when I grew up. My older brother and sister told me that vets were mean to animals, but strippers were very nice to animals. So at church one day, somebody asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Naturally, I said I wanted to be a stripper! (at least they didnt tell me that hookers were the ones that were nice to animals!!)

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 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...

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).

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)

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."
