My sister, 2 years younger, was older. She had her birthday in october where as mine was december so she had to be older!

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

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.

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 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.

When I was a teen, my friends and I were having a discussion about our favorite guitar player. We thought he was really old, but he could still play even at such an advanced age. He was 28 at the time!

I knew that my mother and father were little once, but I believed that grew to the age of adults in a couple of days. I reasoned that grandparents grew even faster.

I used to believe when adults grew up only 4' 9" or lower are still classified as kids.

When I was a kid, no older than 5 or so, I somehow figured that, when you turned 18, you would get an important-looking envelope from the government. Inside would be your signiature, chosen for you, and you'd have to practise it. I spoke to my mom about this and she told me, amused, that you just make up your signiature on your own. =)

when i was really really small , i used to belive that you got up untill you were eleven , then turned into a baby again. when mum said she was thirty nine , i thought you had to pay God a million pounds so you wouldn't be a baby again. I thought this because i was a baby at the time andcould only cound to eleven.

I distinctly remember as a very young child (2ish) having a very bizarre concept of life. It was a concept that death wasn't involved with: I beleived once you got old, you started getting younger again. I actually beleived that a time would come when my parents were children and I'd be an adult charged with being responsible for them. I have no clue where I got this concept and my parents did nothing to discourage it for quite some time.

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.

my little sister used to believe that instead of growing older, you grow younger. she asked me one day, " what was I like whaen I was 10" even though she was still 4! she's so cute! : D

i used to believe that boys and girls grew up with different ages so that girls went from 2year old to 4 year old to 6 year old etc and boys went 1 year to 3 yaer old to 5 year old etc! lol, i was weird.

Charli is da best!

That boys turned into women when they became adults and girls turned into men when they became adults.

My best friend in elementary school believed that when you grew up, you could become inanimate object. Up until middle school she was convinced that she was going to grow up to be a stop sign!

George

when i was really young, i couldn't figure out why i can't get older than my older sister.

I used to think that when you turned 20 you were "officially" an adult. That meant you had to graduate college, get married and have a baby all that year. I'm 21 now and extremely thankful that I was mistaken

When I was younger, in most of the couples that I knew, the man was older than the woman. This somehow gave me the idea that men always grow up to be older than women. The younger son of my mom's friend was harassing me by saying that he was older than me. His mom said "No, Christopher, she is older." I matter-of-factly told her, "I'm older right now, but he's sort of right becuase boys always grow up to be older than girls." I was quite confused when she set me straight.

When I was young my parents & I lived in another city than both of my grandparents.
All my grandparents lived in a retirementflat in the city of The Hague, NL. So I thought at an age of 5yrs old that every ones grandparents lived in The Hague, and that that city was especially designed for grandparents to live
