My parents both wear eyeglasses. None of my wee pals did. So I thought all grownups (and only grownups) wear them. This illusion must have faded well before I got glasses at age 10.

When i was a little girl i was very tall for my age and i used to be very proud of it and always stod up straight then a another little girl said it was better to be small and i didn't question this and deceided i had to be small so everyday afetr school i thought that i should try and curl myself into a ball so i could be small because i thought all my standing up straight had made me tall so for half an hour i made my self into a little ball and then i would empty out a little cupboard and see if I could fit in if I could i would say that my work will be done needless to say i never did.

Remember the Toys R Us Song and Peter Pan? When I was 6 they inspired me to never want to grow up. I remember believing I could will myself to stay 6 forever. I told all my family I was always going to be 6 so that I could play all the time and not have to grow up and become boring (have a job, not watch cartoons, that sort of thing).

When I was little, I thought that when I reach my mom's age, I had to call her something else besides 'mom'. I went up to her and asked her "mom, what do i call you when i'm older?"

Whenever I asked a question such as "How come my sister has to get braces?" my parents would answer "It's in her jeans, my parents both had them". I figured when you got to a certain age, you would recieve a pair of pants that would somehow determine your life.....im still waiting!! haha

jake

At the age of 5, I used to believe that people were either born as babies, children, adults or old people, I used to wish every birthday that I could be born again as an adult

Liza

I used to believe that when I grew-up I was going to be a purple unicorn. Then I found out that wasn't possible, and I was pretty upset.

Sarah

i used to believe that adults were just put on this earth the way they were.as in adults were never kids they just suddenly appeared one day and got a house and stuff.and something about kids and abbies would always be kids and babies and would never grow up :)

Anon

I used to believe that true love was eternal.

Since my grandparents were German immigrants, I used to think that everyone forgot how to speak English at some point in their lives and reverted to German.

Petey

I used to believe that people chose to be old people, adults, kids or babies. I thought you stayed the way you were forever.

I used to believe that when you became a "grown-up", you would automatically know how to do grown-up things, like drive a car, pay bills or balance a checkbook. *sigh* If only...

i used to believe thatif you were a girl, by the age of18, you`ll transforme into a... boy!Entirely(if you know what i mean)!!!!

georgiana onciu

I thought that when you grew up, you could look completely different. I have light brown hair and hazel eyes and Im really tall. I imagined myself as a grownup with dark brown hair and blue eyes and really short.

I used to believe that as you grew up, you started as a girl, then became a boy, then became a girl and so on and so on. I would ask when I was going to be a boy until my mom finally put it all together.

Jessica

My younger sister believes no one ages. You just stay the same all the time! She also thinks having a boyfriend/girlfriend is bad, and that you'll get married to them no matter your age.

My cousin is about 4 years younger than me but when we were little we would always play at my grandmothers house. Sometimes I would boss her around and she would always yell back "Ugh I just cant WAIT till im older than you!"

Maggie

When I was about 3 or 4 years old, I believed that, just as little kids were in the process of growing bigger and older, adults were in the process of growing younger and littler. So I thought that my parents would one day be little children again. Weirder still, I thought that I had previously been an adult and would talk about things that I'd done when I was. I'd say things like, "When I was big, I had a car like that." Or "When I was big, I used to smoke." If were someone who believed even remotely in the possibility of reincarnation--which I absolutely do not--I would almost wonder whether I was recalling snippets of past lives.

Bill

Up until I went to uni in September, I believed I'd be the beautiful confident, mature, smart girl in the happy ending of the movies.*

PHAH!! To be honest, I'm actually LESS confident than I was at 16!

I'm 19 now.. and am getting rather frustrated by this.

*That bit probably doesn't make much sense.
You know the way the girl at the beginning of some movies is shy, geeky, etc; then she turns into a goddess? I thought I'd be like that.

e.sel

i used to believe that everyone was born as the opposite sex, and that you changed when you started school.
