It's not mine, but when my dad and his brother and sister were little, he and his sister used to tell their brother that he was adopted, because he had red hair and blue eyes (the rest of the family has brown hair and brown eyes) and because he was left handed. He believed them for a while, until he asked his mother if he was adopted.

My brother, when he was little, couldnt be convinced that he hadnt spent as much time on this planet as the rest of us. He was sure that since he had only been here, say 7 years, that everyone else in the family had only been here 7 years. He couldnt grasp the fact that I was 6 years older than him

When i was little my mom used to say to all her adult friends that when kids turn 14 that they should just lock them in their rooms until they're 21. (this statement was based on my sister who is 15 years older than i am) anyway when i was really little i was so scared to turn 14 because i was scared to be locked in my room until i was 21.

At first i didn't believe her, but then when i came home from piano lessons and she knew i had misbehaved, it freaked me out.
I used to believe that my uncle Trevor was actually John Travolta. I never saw my uncle or John Travolta, and their names seemed similar...i still think of my uncle as him.

When I was about 6 I didn't quite know how grandparents part of the family tree worked. One of my grnadfathers had died when I was very young and I don't really remember him. I still have both Grandmothers and one Grandfather. Anyway, when I was 6 we had a Grandparents' Day at school and our class had to write about our grandparents or something. One of my friends asked about my deceased grandfather and I answered something like "Oh, he died, but I've got this spare one anyway!". Didn't quite get how it worked! :)

When I was a kid, I don't understand what they mean by saying "marriage between relatives is dangerous" because all of the marriages are between relatives in my family. Mom is married with dad, grandpa is married with grandma...

When i was kid i use to think that adults were born in adult form and that they were never kids.
which made me mad because i believed that i would be stuck as a kid forever and never be an adult.
but i was also confused on how adults got out of their mommys bellies.

When I much younger, I was plauged with an annoying cousin. He always got in the way, and so, as the older cousins we needed ways to "get rid of" him for awhile. I picked on him telling him that it didn't matter what he did, or what we said to him because he wasn't old enough to think yet. (My reasoning was that thinking relates to memory. Therfore, for the first several years of your life, which you can't remember, you weren't thinking yet.) Eerily, it seems that although my older cousins remember this, the annoying one doesn't--just as I predicted.

Okay, I have to admit that I really don't have any clue where this belief came from, but when I was much younger I thought that I would eventually not only grow bigger than my older sister, but that I could/would grow older than her too.
i used to believe that if you stepped on a crack, you would break your grandma's back. my kindergarten friend told me that she once stepped on a crack and her grandma borke her back that same day so i freaked out. one day i accidentally stepped on a crack and ran home crying. i called my grandma and apoligized for breaking her back. she just laughed and laughed and i finally realized you could step on cracks without breaking someones back.

When I was younger , I used to think that once you fell in love , you'd immediately get married and right after the wedding , the bride would be rushed to the hospital and out popped a baby! I think it had something to do with a movie I watched ? I'll never know.
I used to think that there was someone who looked exactly like me on the otherside of the world; that everyone had a twin and that I wanted to go overthere and meet them.
