My brother and I thought that Grandma lived at the airport because that's where we always went to get her. Then when we were tired of her, we took her back.

When I was younger, my parents somehow convinced me that when you felt like you had already done something before, you were having a ménage à trois, instead of experiencing déjà vu.

Haley (from language : foreign languages)

I was born and raised in NY. For the longest time, I used to think that every single person in the world was born in NY and then decided to either stay or move away.

You know the "pink slips" you got when you were bad? When I first heard of them, I thought they would get an actual pink slip - as in women's underwear!

Boomer (from school : classes)

I used to believe that any grown woman received the title of 'mom.' I didn't understand why my parents continued to shoot down my dreams of becoming, as I put it, "a mom with no kids."

Amy (from grown-ups : getting older)

I couldn't wait to turn 20 so I could go through the Roaring 20's and be a flapper like my Grandma.

I always thought that when you go on an airplane to a different contry that there were hundreds of trap doors in the sky leading you to the contry that you wanted to go to.

When I was a kid, I used to believe that if I stepped on a bug, it would step on me in the other world.

I used to think the phrase "Cats have nine lives", meant the reincarnate nine times. So some things involving the phrase confused me.
