grown-ups

I used to believe…

When I was 12, my older brother was big into army stuff and always drank from a canteen. I went into his room one day and saw the canteen. I stuffed a bunch of ritz crackers in it and poured tabasco sauce in it too, then shook it up and left it there. The next time he took a drink, he spat it out all over! The belief comes in because I just recently told him I had done it (I am 26 now) and for all this time, he thought it had been our younger brother! (Because I would never do something like that...)

I used to believe…

Once when I was, I guess 7 or 8, I woke up in the morning and, finding myself not being able to remember falling asleep, drew the obvious conclusion: I must have been a baby when I fell asleep, and now I was a big kid! So I strut downstairs like the big kid that I know I am, go straight up to my mom, and say, "notice anything differant about me?". She looked at me, and clearly stumped, replied "no, you look the same to me." I was crushed.

I used to believe…

In kindergarten I finally admitted to my mom that I never wanted to be a teenager because teenagers have to go on dates with boys and take off their clothes.

She assured me that the clothes part was completely optional.

I used to believe…

When I was a toddler my Dad was trying to explain to me what evolution was...he told me 'We used to all be monkeys'...from that moment on I believed that my whole family and I had once lived as gorillas in the jungle, and couldnt imagine how I didnt remember that part of my life!!

i used to believe that a man was sitting squashed up in those barrier boxes pressing a button sat on a chair all day letting cars in and out.

I used to believe…

When I was six I believed that being a real estate agent was the best job in the whole world because (to me) all you did was scribble on papers with real nice fancy pens, circle pictures of houses you liked, brings your friends around to nosy through other peoples houses, and make millions of dollars a year.
That was my dream, at 6, to be a real estate agent. HA

When I was about five or six, my sister used to get mad because she had to watch me all the time. To get even, she loved telling me that I had been born to a monkey family and that my parents had adopted me from them. She told me if I told anyone, than my parents would send me back to my monkey family. I believed this till I was about seven or eight, when I finally broke down and ran crying hysterically to my mom, begging her not to send me away....

I used to believe…

When i was 4 ,My brother and sister would go to my grandparent house in californa alone.Since i wasn't aloud on the plane by myself(but my brother and sister were old enough)My parent told me they were going to home work camp. I belived then till recently...
Also when we were at my Grandparents swimming pool my brother told me we came from a family of mermaids.When i told him i couldn't breath or see under water he said that wasnt smart enough to be a mermaid.He also said that i had to eat orange food things to become more of a mermaid.

i used to believe that adults were just put on this earth the way they were.as in adults were never kids they just suddenly appeared one day and got a house and stuff.and something about kids and abbies would always be kids and babies and would never grow up :)

i was convinced that my older sister really can cook me in a pot.

I used to believe that men go the army and women get babies when they grow up! that was their fate!

I used to believe that Mothercare sold babies,that Jaws might bight my bum whist I sat on the toilet,that the lady on talking clock heard me when I called her "wobbly bottom" because my dad told me so, and between the ages five to ten you had your birhday twice...so you had a little tenth birthday then a big tenth birthday when you were much older, like shoe sizes... you were a size ten childrens or size ten adults.

My second name is doyle,
so when i was younger i wanted to be a bus.
i used to call myself 'Bus Doyle' for about 4 years

i used to believe you had to marry people who have your same last name. i thought this because before my mom was married, her last name actually was the same as my dad! so i was confused with that until i was like seven....

I used to believe…

When i was little, my mom used to always say that she had eyes in the back of her head so i believed her. One time I even swore i saw an eyeball but of course that was just my imagination.

Once, I asked her what was behind her when she had her back turned and she said "my robe". And of course that was correct. I remember being so startled...

I used to believe…

My mums parents lived on one side of the city and dads on the other. When we travelled to see my mums parents every saturday arvo, we would pass a High Security Jail. Dad would always say to me "my dad is in there"...and I would believe him. Even though we would visit Dads parents on Sunday arvo!!!!
