I used to believe that white people had white blood and black people had black blood.

When I was in Kindergarten at school, I remember once talking to a boy classmate and he introduced me to his friend who was a girl. Somehow she just didn't look like a girl or a boy at all to me, and for a couple of weeks I wondered if there were Boys, Girls, and Neither.

i used to believe that if you had glasses, you didnt need braces and vice versa. and since braces are only temporal and glasses arent, i always wanted braces - it would mean i would not need glasses any more, right?

When I was 4 I met a really ugly lady who told me she was born from a c-section.

I believed c-sections made people ugly until I was 10.

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 6 yrs old, our washing machine had broken down and i had run out of clean knickers, i had to wear my brothers Y fronts. I asked my brother who is 3 yrs older than me, what the hole was for, he replied that's were you keep your dinner money, true to form I did, and come lunch time, suprisingly, i could not find my 50p!!

This isn't quite a belief, but when I was very young the only movie I'd watch was Disney's Beauty and the Beast and all I would wear was dresses. Whenever my mother bought my a new dress, I would be immensly proud of it, and walk up to strangers in the grocery store checkout line and proclaim "Dis is my Booty dress!" and spin around for approval. (I could not pronounce Beauty).
When I got home after buying a dress, I would go infront of a mirror and tell my mother "I Booty!" I never relized until recently what people found so funny about that phrase.

Scared Of Pants

Since I read Peter pan's history, I was convinced that my shadow has its own life. To proof this teory, I hardly tried to move as faster as I can to caught a "fail" of my companion...I confess sometimes I started to hate its efficiency in copying me all the time!!

I guess from hearing too many dumb-blonde jokes, when I was growing up I really truly thought that blonde people were dumber than people with other hair colors. Like God had made it that way so you could tell if a person was dumb or smart. (Boy, was I glad I had brown hair!)

Once, in fourth grade, I looked in the bathroom mirror and noticed several small, hardly-visible black dots on my upper lip. I got scared and thought I was growing a beard. Then, I figured outthat they were actually blackheads.

When I was little, I thought Lena Horne was my grandmother's sister because they looked similar. I also thought my great-grandfather was Jackie Wilson because he looked EXACTLY like him. I assumed my family never told us who he really was because they didn't want us kids to think he was really popular and had money.

I used to believe that boys were always older than girls. Possibly, because men are often older than women in relationships. Also, my eldest sibling was a boy.

XD

I used to believe that all the neighbors would get together and hire a guy in a bunny suit to distribute candy early Easter Sunday morning. Of course it wasn't a *real* bunny (they weren't that big)... but a guy in a bunny suit? That made all the sense in the world.

For a while I thought a homeless person was just someone whose house had burned down, but they still looked like everyone else and, like, wore a business suit and went to work every day. I was really scared our house would burn down and we would have to be homeless forever, even though my dad was rich. (I never made the connection that we could probably just buy another house, or at least go live with someone we knew.)

I used to believe that you chose what ethnicity you wanted to be when you grew up. I'm white, and when I was little I wanted to grow up to be Asian. I was really disappointed when I found out I'd always be a white girl!

I used to think that if I closed my eyes I would be invisible

I my brother and I were really chubby when we were little. Food and love in our family were the same thing.

I remember going to kindergarten and for the longest time feeling sorry for the average weight children because I thought their parents didn't love them. I called them, "the poor stick children."
