When I was 11, I used to believe that the way to tell how old your friend's mother was, was to add up the ages of all her children and add that figure to 25 (all mothers had their first child at 25). I was so confused because some of these mothers (by my warped logic) were 36 (if they had one child) and some were almost 100 years old (if they had loads of kids). I could not work out how my best friend's mother still looked 25, but by my own special system was actually 92.

My mum used to tell me that if I carried on being naughty she would send me away on the ship kolioh (pronounced col-i-ho). I was led to believe that this was a run down ship that sailed without ever docking, its bottom was full of rats and frogs and little orfan boys rowing the boat to wherever. My mum's not around now to tell me where this came from... but it used to scare the life out of me
I used to believe that one day, my younger brother would be older than me and then he'd pick on me!
I used to believe that unless I slept with my 2 pillows right next to each other, and my 2 smallest teddy bears on top of the pillows, my parents would divorce. I slept that way every night till I was 13! My parents (and 8 smaller siblings) really owe me one! ;)
I was the youngest of several girls and my mum and
sisters always told me that they had found me in the middle of the road in a basket and that they felt sorry for me so they decided to keep me!!! How cruel were they...! I don't think I really believed it but they used to say it so often and for years, that I sometimes wondered whether it was true!!

my mom told me that, as a baby, a black family had forgotten me after fishing on my grandmother's dock. But that I was so cute she deciede to bleach me and keep me rather than give me back. I never have been able to keep a tan - too much bleach, I guess.
I used to believe that if I didn't put my slippers together when I took them off, then my parents would divorce. I believed it for years then later came to senses. My parents are still together after 35 years :)

My nephew used to think that when people got old, they developed a foreign accent. This is because both sets of his grandparents were Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe, and they (and the rest of the family of their generation) all had accents. So he thought it was part of getting old. This was revealed to the family when he was about 4, and one of his mother's friends brought her Dutch boyfriend to the house for dinner. My nephew said in amazement, "He's young, and he has an accent already!"
