In preschool I had a teacher named Mrs. White. She was an older woman with white hair, so I assumed her surname was a description of her hair color.
A childhood belief about appearance

others believed things like this
- My poop was always around the same color as my skin so I assumed white people's poop was white.— jaycee
- I used to believe that when I got old my red hair would turn pink before it went white.Anon
- I used to think that everybody's hair was black and if you had blond hair, you dyed your hair.— ~_~CoolKid93_~_
- When I was little, I thought dying your hair would give you the color AND hairstyle displayed on the box. Anon
- I used to think that blue was a natural hair color but it as very rare, even rarer than ginger.Anon
- I was once told that white roaches where that color because they just got married.— Andrew
