I used to think that, on your birthday, you didn't actually turn a year older until you ate some birthday cake.

My name is Pamela and one of the fondest childhood memories I had was of watching Sesame Street on my 6th birthday whilst my mother was preparing cakes and dinner. That day, Sesame Street had been sponsored by the number "6" and the letter "P". I was utterly convinced that my mother had conived the makers of the program into doing so to honnor my birthday. I was uncontrollable with glee and there was simply no dealing with me after that.

When I was young, once on the bus a girl asked me when my birthday was, and I told her it was in the pink panther month(February).

My earliest memory is the night befor emy third birthday. Naturally, I was very excited at turning three(!) and had butterflies in my stomach. I believed that feeling was because I had a big two inside my belly and, overnight, it was slowly changing into a three! Why? I have no idea!

I was born on Halloween, and until I was about 10 or 11 I used to believe that the costumes, trick or treating, parade, etc. were all in honor of ME.

Until i was about 11 i thought you were supposed to be born on your mum's birthday if you're a girl and your dad's if you were a boy. i thought my brother had been born 5 months late!

My birthday is April 2nd and every year on April fools day my dad used to tell me the government had cancelled the next day so I couldn't have a birthday and I used to think "parents wouldn't lie about something that important!" Somehow I have made it to 25 regardless of this.

When I was younger I thought everybody was born on the same day. My birthday is May 19 so I thought everybody was born on that date. Whenever some kid said his birthday was in February, I was like "No, that's not your birthday! Your birthday is May 19"

When I was in early grade school I had a friend whose birthday one year was on Friday the 13th. I wondered how come I never had a birthday on Friday the 13th.

My birthday is the seventh of December.

My birthday is November 11th, Veteran's Day. Until I was about six or seven years old, I thought I was a veteran. After all, it said so right on the calendar. Even after discovering I wasn't in fact a veteran, I still thought it cool that all the calendars had my birthday marked in red.

My birthday is near Christmas, my dad would drive me around the different neighborhoods to look at all the decorated houses, then he would tell me that all these people knew it was my birthday so they put lights up on their houses to celebrate my day. At 5 yrs old, I believed every word he said!

my birthday is the day before halloween, so i always thought that all the kids came to my door dressed up for my birthday

I used to believe that I would get older the exact time I blew the candles at the birthday cake. So, I would get mad if some friend blew my candles, because I was afraid of being a child forever. Also, I was afraid of blowing any candles besides the birthday ones, because I didn't want to become old.

When I was little I used to think that You changed your name every birthday, So I used to go Threw my moms baby name book and pick out a name and tell my mom 'I want this one for my next birthday'

Molly

When i was little i thought that the earlier your birthday was in the year the more you were loved. So i always beleived that my Mum and Dad loved me more than my brother and sister as my birthday was earliest in the year!!

I use to believe that had to wait longer for my birthday than my sister because her birthday is in January and mine is in September. So I had to wait 9 months after her birthday but she only had to wait 5 months after mine!!
