As a child I believed that clothes would naturally shrink over time; I didn't realize that I was growing larger.
I had an old nightgown of my own that was too big for one of my dolls, so I hung it in the closet to let it shrink. By the time I found it again in my closet, I had come to understand that I was getting bigger and my clothes were not shrinking over time!
