When I was a kid, no older than 5 or so, I somehow figured that, when you turned 18, you would get an important-looking envelope from the government. Inside would be your signiature, chosen for you, and you'd have to practise it. I spoke to my mom about this and she told me, amused, that you just make up your signiature on your own. =)
