Someone once told me that everyone was related to everyone else, so I used to think that if enough royalty died, my father would be made king and I'd be a princess. Only I didn't want that to happen, because I knew that, whatever my relations to royalty, they were very, *very* distant.
A childhood belief about family

- when I was little, I thought the big stalls were for royalty and celebrities, when they visitedAnon
- I used to believe that all my aunts were related to my mother and all my uncles were related to my father.— Mandy
- I thought Scott Joplin and Janis Joplin were related. Two musicians with the same last name - it made sense!— Rita
- King Henry VIII was named “the eighth” by his dad because the first seven didn’t listen!— Mojo
- one of my friend's was told by his father that if you didn't turn mirrors over the reflection would run out.— pri
