I had a teacher in primary school called Mr. Hampson, but I thought he was called Mr. Hamster - I even wrote it on the front of my books!
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- I thought that the women who drove the bookmobile actually wrote all of the books on the shelves.— Dan
- I used to think that if you were the teacher's pet, you would turn into a hamster.Anon
- When I was a kid, I believed that bible school was "beauty school", and called it that all the time.— Dana
- I thought pretending I was sick to stay home from school was called cookie not hookie.— Jen
- I believed that the breed of dog called Boxer was called that because they could stand up and box.Anon
- My mom used to think "preschool" was called "pretty school" until a few years later.— Molly
