I used to believe that princesses were make-believe like monsters, dragons, and fairies.

When I was a little girl, I used to think I couldn't get lost and be separated from my parents.
I used to think no matter where I went my parents were going to follow me.
One day, I was only 3 years old, I thought that I knew the way.
I got lost and found myself alone for 30 minutes.
I was very scared and so was my father !
Now, as soon as I walk around with my little brother, I keep an eye on him and I am too careful.

When I was a little, I used to belive when I am older, I would need to change my name.
My mom's name was in my head a old name and I thought I would need to change mine to have a former name when I would be old too. One day, T went to my mom and asked at her what my futur name would be. She looked at me like she looked at a fool...
After that, I knew my name will never change, I was been a little disappointed. And I don't think my mom remember this day.

I used to think, if you had no occupation, you were okay as long as you kept busy around the house, like yard work, home repairs, etc. As my grandfather was retired, I remember saying, "I want a job like Grampa."

I used to think that college could be referred to as retirement school since kids over 16 leave school in the same way that older people leave work.

I used to think that all (or most) old people had sad childhood stories to tell, because of the wartime in their younger generation.

Referring to the stuff you get about adoption agencies, I used to think that adopted babies were just randomly chosen at the hospital when born, and the new parents could just pick out whichever one they liked.

I used to think “create jobs” meant creating new lines of work rather than opening up employment opportunities
