When i was around 10/11 i went into a store and saw a tube top- i thought it was a skirt so i put it over my jeans. my sister and her friends started laughing at me so hard-- i thought they were laughing at the REALLY short skirt.

I used to watch Sailor Moon so much i was convinced I was her. I stood ontop a car once and tried to transform. i was sure that if i didn't whisper my transformation words but screamed them out and threw my hand up like Sailor Moon does I'd transform. I was shattered when no matter how much I tried I couldn't transform. I even got a tiara and learnt how to throw it like Sailor Moon, but still *sniffle* i never became Sailor Moon

When I was little, I would press my face up against the glass of a window and laugh and the way that my face got all squished up. My mom would tell that if I kept doing it my face would stay squished up permanently like that. I still did it, but only for periods of 10 sec. or less at a time, and as soon as I was done I would run to a mirror and make sure that my face looked the same.

i used to dress up like a ninja and hide in trees and watch people walk by, thinking they couldn't see me. but in retrospect, i'm certain they could see me perfectly clear and probably wondered what the geek dressed up like a ninja is doing in that tree.

I was terrified to get my ears pierced for a long time--they said they used a gun to do it. My only knowledge of a gun was the kind that kills people. So I thought they would stand you up against a wall and aim. I didn't think the odds of them actually getting my ears were very good so it was a long time before I got them done.

Mom used to tease me when I was younger, because I was such a "fuzzy" child. She told me stories that I was born with a tail like a monkey, and that they had to cut holes out of my diapers to let my tail out, until finally they had the tail surgically removed.
I hated those stories.

When I was about 9 or 10 I used to play a game with my younger brother where we would tie a towel around our necks to look like supermans cape. Unfortunately for me, my brother believed that the towel would enable me to fly so he pushed me off the top of the stairs.
After that he didn't believe the towel could make me fly any more.

When I was a little girl, I used to believe that all of the kids that wore saddle shoes were retarded. Imagine my shock and disbelief when my own mother actually bought a pair for me and wanted me to wear them! Even at such an early age, I remember thinking, "Is she trying to TELL me something??" :-)

I used to believe that if i pulled my t-shirt over my head, that i could turn into Captain Caveman. When this was over, and i lowered my t-shirt, i then became Gary Adams, a fictional creation of my own, only becoming myself after a non-specific period of time had passed.

You know when you couldn't wear your clothes any more because they got too small for you? I used to think that the clothes actually did get smaller - not that I got bigger!
I've figured it out now, though...

when i was little i thought that my socks iched my feet, so my sister would tell me to just turn my socks inside out to solve the problem. So, from the age of 3 to 5 I was serten that evenone wore there socks inside out!:)

My mom told me that those slap bracelets will chop off your hand if you try to put one on. Turns out she just didn't want to dish out the money to get me and my sister one.

My brother kindly told me that I was so ugly my parents had to pay people to act behind 'mirrors' everywhere I went so that I would have a normal life and not know that I was hideously ugly. He also told me this was why our family was poor.

When I was little, I found a jock strap lying around our family room. My two older brothers told me that it was a gas mask, so I put on my head to see if it worked. They told me that there was a part missing in the front - that's why it didn't work.

when i was about 12, i was convinced that my eyebrows needed to be about an inch higher on my forehead...i would spend hours in front of the mirror, wishing them to be higher so my forehead wouldnt appear so big!!! thank god, it never happened...can u imagine someone with eyebrows in the middle of their forehead...i would have had to join the circus!!!

From the time in toddlerhood that I started wearing underpants, I thought that other people could see my undies through my clothes, and spent lots of wasted time making sure that my undies matched my outfit. It wasn't until fifth grade that it occurred to me that I couldn't see anyone else's underpants.

I remember a down-filled jacket I had always wanted (you know the large puffy-looking type).
One Christmas Santa brought it for me and I was thrilled until I looked at a label on the jacket that said "outerwear", which I mis-read as "underwear" and I refused to ever put that jacket on. I thought it was ridiculous that anyone would wear underwear outside their clothes to stay warm!
Children–beware of what you ask for… (and always read the tag twice!)

I used to think that if someone looked familiar to me then I must also look familiar to them.
