That you had to marry your sibling. During this period of time I devoliped a crush on my brother.

don't worry I'm a girl

When I was little, I was watching a television show in which the teenage
daughter was pregnant. I remember thinking, "That's stupid, you can't be
pregnant if you aren't married!" My parents, of course, had told me that
being married was a prerequisite of having children, and I took that
literally.

when i was age 3-6 my mom babysat all my friends for a living. we debated between 2 theories for marriage, one was that you had to marry the person if you kissed them, the other was that you had to marry someone if you went on a date with them. I flatly refused to believe the first and whenever one of my friends told me that, i remember correcting them that that was wrong but that the other was right. I was very stubborn on this subject. I don't remember why this was but i think it had something to to with my neighbors who were older than me and i think eigther they believed this or they were playing a joke on me.

I used to think I was going to marry my mom, even though my dad was already married to her.

In primary school, I believed you had to marry someone from your class. My mother then told me that I wouldn't marry anyone I knew from school, that it would be someone I'd meet later in life. She was right about that for me, but two of my primary school classmates DID end up getting married.

Moms don't know everything

My boyfriend believed, until I set him straight recently, that "mum" was a traitor for "kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe last night". I had to point out to him that Santa was, in fact, dad and, therefore, allowed to kiss mum.

At the age of 5, I was chosed to be the flower girl for my Aunt Margaret. I was very concerned the night of the Wedding Rehearsal... when I heard the Pastor talk about "biting love".

I wanted to get my dear Aunt out of there, and away from that bad man that was telling her husband-to-be to bite her!!!

i used to believe, that if you were married you were a mum and dad

I used to think when you married you had babies immediately!

When I was little older people were always talking about dumping each other. Now, I knew they were breaking up with each other but I thought they were literally "dumping" each other. They would take a bucket of water and dump it over the other person's head!

When a man proposes,he gives her a ring. So I used to think that the bride gives the ring to the man so he can put it on her finger when they get married.

I thought that to get married, your spouse had to have the same eye color as you did.

i though that the man and woman couldn't really have babies until marriage,lmao,what a stupid person i was

what a stupid

I used to think that when you got married someone gave you a baby and you had to name it and you never gave birth to the baby. Then after I understood that that doesn't happen, I believed in the stork. THEN I thought that when old people get "too old", a new stork carries them off to a factory where the give them better bones and new skin and baby fat and then they turn into a baby and another stork carries it off. Then I thought they needed one for a stork, so they had some for storks also.

That getting married and being happy wasn't something you had to work at -- it was just another inescapable part of growing up, like losing your teeth or going to high school.

I used to think that it was illegal to get married before the age of 30.

I use to believe that when you get married, you need the same colour hair. I believed this for quite awhile until I remembered a friend and his parent's had different colour hair.

when i was 9 or 10 my older sister decided it would be cool if she organized a wedding for my younger brother and i. we sent out fancy invitations to all the neighbors, had a veil made out of lacy tablecloth, and two gorgeous wedding rings made out of aluminium foil. i don't think we really got married though, as my brother refused to kiss me (and good thing, too!).

I believed that two people couldn't get married unless they were the same religion and the man was older than the woman.
