I used to believe people's nicknames were actually their names. I knew people with names like Peaches, Nena, Chabella, Cisco. There are people whose real names I never even knew. I remember one guy who must be in his late 50's now who was always called Baby.

Nene

When I was about 3 or 4, I remember my grandmother introducing me to some acquaintance of hers and telling me to "say hello to the nice gentleman." Since I had never seen this man before, I thought that "gentleman" meant the same thing as "stranger." I didn't say anything to the gentleman because I had been taught never to talk to strangers. My grandmother gave me a talking to afterward about being rude.

Kate

i thought that anon was akon, the singer, who kept spelling his name wrong and referring himself to a girl. i also wondered why he had time to post so many things when he had concerts to do and stuff.

Akon-k+n=Anon

When I was about 6 years old, where we lived I would often see a dark blue van and it had the word 'Strangers' on it in yellow. I used to think that the man driving it used to drive round and pick up strangers and put them in the back of his van to take them to the police station. I later found out that 'Strangers' was a building firm and was pronounced with a hard 'g' as in string.

Jayne Beaumont

i used to believe the "n word" was actually the politically correct name for African Americans.

You can only imagine the trouble that would get me in when i was little.

My mom said her last name used to be carter until she married my dad, and it caused me to believe when two people got married they got to make up a new last name together by combining their old last names.

I thought the Vally of the Shadow of Death was in Death Valley, California

When I was little we had our house remodeled - and the remodelers had the last name 'Oakley'. and my dad told us the Oakley's were coming over - but I thought he said "Okreys' - which is how southerners pronounce the vegetable 'Okra'. So I waited in anticipation for these 5-6 foot tall Okra pods in painter caps carrying tool boxes to come marching up the drive. If you think of those animated brooms carrying buckets of water in 'Fantasia's 'Sorcerers Apprentice' you get it.

Monty

I used to believe my parents names were mom and dad till i was 9

Sophiae

I used to believe my middle name was spelled "Worn" it is "Warren"

Bart

I used to believe that each person in a family had to the first letter in their first and last names match. I thought that this was law since my parents and my siblings first and last names start with the letter J..
