grown-ups

i used to believe that once you got married, you didn't talk to your partner because whenever we used to go visit family friends, i noticed that the married couple didn't talk to each other, but to my parents

i used to believe that if i pulled on my dad's belt, a hole would open up under his feet and the ground would swallow him up!

I used to believe that you just 'got pregnant' you didnt have to actually do anything for it to happen. I also didn't understand about relatives and thought you had to choose what you wanted to be. Eg: you could only choose to be either an aunt, a mother, a cousin, a grandmother etc.

Until the age of 9, I used to believe that marriage was a fancy church wedding that commenced in the bride and groom HAVING SEX in front of everyone. No wonder why I never wanted to get married.

I used to believe…

When i was little 4 or 5 i used to believe that to be a fire man u had to be a man so when my friend sarah said she wanted to be a fire man i was disscusted that she wanted to be a man and stoped talking to her.....she's still a woman lol

I used to believe…

My little brother came home from his pre-school/day care one day and said to my mother and I...."I bet you can't wait to be little like me so you can go to Goodies too!" - ha, cute kid

I used to believe…

Remember the Toys R Us Song and Peter Pan? When I was 6 they inspired me to never want to grow up. I remember believing I could will myself to stay 6 forever. I told all my family I was always going to be 6 so that I could play all the time and not have to grow up and become boring (have a job, not watch cartoons, that sort of thing).

I used to believe…

My mom always knew what mischief I was up to, and she said it was because she "had eyes in the back of her head." At first, this sort of frightened me. I thought she really did! Finally, she said it too many times, and I went behind her chair and parted the back of her hair, looking for them. When I couldn't find them, she said that her extra eyes close whenever anyone goes looking for them and that's why I'd never see them! Well, I believed that too! It's no wonder I'm a skeptic now.

I used to believe…

My brother told me that I would turn into a boy when I got older. It made me cry.

I used to believe…

A much older friend of mine once told me that you can only have a baby if you're married. I was only small at the time so of course i believed her! boy was i ever surprised when i first heard of single parents.

I was the only blonde in my family. My 2 sisters had dark hair. Until I was about 10 years old I thought that I was adopted.

I used to believe…

My aunt used to tell me that if you kissed a mirror you had to marry it when you grew up,just to stop me from kissing her mirror.(yeah,that was one of my weird habits as a child)
I also used to think I'd marry my dad when I grew up.

I used to believe…

My mom and dad happened to have the same birthday (dad is one year older). I used to think, similar to the way a wife changes her last name to her husband's once they get married, that she also changed her birthday to match the husband's!

I could never understand why movie couples would be sitting at dinner and the wife would suddenly say "Honey I have a surprise for you. We're going to have a baby". After I had learned about the birds and bees, I thought surely wouldn't you REMEMBER doing something like that?"

I used to think that when you got married something would automatically happen to your body to make you have children. So I did not understand, when I saw a movie about a marooned couple with a baby on a desert island, how they could have children since they hadn't been to a church to get married.

I used to believe…

When asking my kid sister (age 6) what she wanted to be when she grew up, she replied scientist, I replied with "what kind of scientist" and she says " A MAD Scientist!!!" Haha cute kid

I used to tell me little sister that she we adopted her from circuis people, we are 5 years apart, but look exaclty alike. She believed it up until my Mom finally had to take her to a circuis and show her that she didn't look like anyone there.
