when I was younger when people would ask me what I wanted to be I'd always say I wanted to be a davenport(couch)wierd huh!

When I was about 4 or 5, my cousin would make me mad, so I always said to mayself, "When I grow up, I'll be older than her, and that will show her..." And I don't know how I thought I could become older faster...

When my mom was little she thought that when you grew up you were either an indian or a cowboy. However she also thought when she grew up she would eventually turn into a boy (you can see how well that turned out for her, she is know a teacher)

My brother always firmly believed that one day would be older than me. My mom told him that he wouldn't, but he might be bigger than me. I figured that this meant I'd shrink at a certain age to be smaller than him.

When I was little I used to think you got younger instead of older. So I used to say when I was older etc... I also thought I was very old and used to cry because I thought I was going to die soon.

i used to believe that when you grew up you could decide to be a fat mummy or a skinny daddy for some reason my sisters always laughed

messed up in the mind

i didnt worry about learning to tie shoes because i thought once i hit a certain age i would automatically know how

When i was little (like 2-3), I didn't know the names of any numbers over 10, but I knew that 11 and so on was 10 plus a number, so I would call 11 "10 dee 1" and so on. Everyone was really confused until I explained it to them. They soon set me straight.

I used to believe that you grew up and then once you got to be a old fart you then started to grow young again. I thought that my grandmother and I would be the same age as she began to grow young again!

When I grew up, I was going to be a mom with no kids.

My mother always said I should write a book called, "I Useda Think.." Finally There's a place out there for all the rediculous things "I Useda think" as a child. One of them goes like this..

I Useda Think that If you were born as one sex, half-way through your life you turned into the other sex.

I used to believe that little boys grew up to be girls and little girls grew up to be boys.

I honestly believed when I was a kid that some day, at some age (I wasn't sure what age) when I got older everyone would come to me and say, "The way you have been experiencing everything is not the way it really is. Everything is actually better. You just had to experience the bad stuff so you could appreciate the way it 'really is'." Funny, I just grew up and realized everything is just the way it is. You just have to deal with.
Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. Deal with it!

when we were very (four or five-ish) me and my sister would occasionaly be taken to see our great grandmother, between us me and my sister privatly decided that she must be at least 100 years old, because she was so wrinkly and decrepid.

when she died a while after that i decided that everyone must get to live exactly 100 years before they popped there clogs.

In retrospect this seems a lot fairer than only getting 60-70 years if your lucky

When i was little my friends actually got me to belive that when you would grow up u would change so that if you were a girl when u grew up u would become a boy, and the same if you were a boy but just opposite. it took me 6 years to figure it out that it was untrue

Sex change

When i was smaller, and i was beginning to learn about puberty, i read something about how your voice cracks during puberty. I then began to think it was like a test- if you were manly enough, then your voice would stop cracking eventually and your voice would become brawny and mature. If you werent manly enough, you would awarded with a high pitched voice for the rest of your life.

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

When I was little (4 or 5 years old) I used to believe that my mom would send me to an izolated island with dinosaurs and somebody older would replace me because i didn't believe that i was gonna grow up. I remember looking at a chair and asking myself "why doesn't the chair gain in hight also?" :))

that as I grew up, my parents would "grown down," then I would be the Mom and Mom would be my child.
