When I used to wear dresses when I was about 5 and it was one of my first times of going to the loo on my own. I took off my dress then did my business. No one told me that you just pull down your pants.

I used to think that women's handbags were hambags and every women went around carrying ham, for a reason I never questioned.

I had just started school and I came home and told my mum that I wanted twigs in my hair like my new best friend who's name I couldn't remember. For days I went on about these twigs and mum hadn't a clue what I was on about until I pointed out my new best friend. Her name was Barita, she belonged to the only black family in my town and she had little plaites all over her head!

i used to believe that if you stick your tongue out that someone holding a pair of scissors might walk by an accidently cut it off. this led me to keeping my tongue safetly in my mouth as much as possible. I also believed this about penises so i kept that pretty safe too. so far so good!
I used to think I loved the smell of make up, because when mum went out for the night wearing lip stick and foundation, she always smelled so nice! It wasn't till I was 13, and sniffing lipsticks in a pharmacy, that I realised this wasn't the case. That same day I discovered perfume.
My parents always used to tell me that you had to wear clean underwear everyday in case you were in a car accident. I grew up thinking that my underwear could stop traffic
I used to believe that when I was changing my clothes I had to keep my back covered somehow or get clothed really quickly or else the devil would come from behind me and kill me by stabbing me with a knife.

When I was around seven years old, the local tough guy kid took an extreme dislike to me. I was doing my best to avoid meeting him on neighbourhood streets, for fear of being beaten up. At around that time, I read a book about a kid in a similar situation. The author wrote: "I held my breath and hoped that he didn't recognize me." For a long time afterward, I believed that holding your breath changed your appearance.

one of my friends mums once told me that if i pulled a silly face and the wind changed direction, my face would stay that way. I was always uneasy about pulling silly faces for too long...
I was told when i was little that when you lie a blue spot appereared on your forehead until you admitted you'd lied.

From quite an early age I was told by my Grandmother and Mother that the Devil lived behind any mirror and that if I looked at myself he would come out and get me. I think it was an attempt to stop me from becoming vain. It worked! To this day I still hate looking at my reflection and avoid it if I can - and I will be 61 in May!

When I saw a lady with makeup, I used to think that it was actually part of her complexion. Therfefore, my nursery teacher had permanent blue eyelids!

My mom used to tell me that if I slept on more than one pillow, my neck would permanently bend forward.....until I looked like a hunchback.

When we were little my mum used to dress me and my sister in skirts and dresses all of the time. Somehow I got it into my head that this was because if I wore trousers I would become a boy!

My little sister used to pout a lot when she was young. I told her that if she kept pouting, her lower lip would get bigger and bigger until it reached to her waist. A few minutes later, I caught her trying to suck her lip back in to make it smaller!

i used to think i was the coolest kid in the school because i was allowed to wear my older brothers clothes that didnt fit him anymore. i was informed on my first day of high school by an older lad, that the clothes i was wearing was around 6-7 years old, and that they was 'hand-me-downs' . i asked him what are those, and he said it was all the clothes nobody wanted anymore. i was around 12 years old when i finally found out i was being cheated, and demanded my parents buy me real expensive clothes.

My sister used to believe that her nose fell off when she was born and was glued back on. This was because she had a scar on her nose and I told her that was why.
my mom used to tell us that if we pulled a face and the clock struck on the hour, we'd be stuck like that forever
