grown-ups

I used to beleive that in preschool the teachers would get in sleeping bags in the the big room and stay there till class started the next day

i thought that being a stripper ment that i got to make clothes.

I used to believe…

When I was little, my dad told me he had been born in Indiana. I thought he meant India, and for years afterward, I thought he had been born in cave.

I used to believe…

When I'd do something wrong and my mom caught me and I asked how she saw me she'd go, " I have eyes in the back of my head". I always believed her and even looked for them in her hair once.

I used to believe…

When i was smaller, and i was beginning to learn about puberty, i read something about how your voice cracks during puberty. I then began to think it was like a test- if you were manly enough, then your voice would stop cracking eventually and your voice would become brawny and mature. If you werent manly enough, you would awarded with a high pitched voice for the rest of your life.

I believed my younger sister was adopted, as she had made up an elaborate story about her "real" family. This family was the "Pigmy Ant" family. My sister's real name was Kary Pigmy Ant, her father-Harry Pigmy Ant, Her mother-Mary Pigmy Ant, and so on with brothers and sisters. When I asked how she knew she was adopted, she often pointed out her large ears and nose. I had to agree with her about that, so we weren't sisters for a couple of years, just family friends.

I believed that if people had the same birthday, they should get married. Having the same birthday as Prince William, at age twelve I wrote a letter to him explaining my theory.

The most ironic thing? The only man I met with the same birthday as me is the man I eventually married!

I used to believe that you would grow a little each year at your birthday, and when you turned 15 you grew a lot

I used to believe that when someone was so old that they only had gray hair on their head left, they would die from it. My parents told me this to trick me into picking their gray hair.

I used to believe…

ok so when i was a young girl i always believed that when my shoes outgrew me, i would always think that my shoes were shrinking instesd of me growing! how stupid!

I used to believe that the term "being grounded" actually meant that your parents would dig a hole/ underground house in your backyard and make you live underground for a week.

I used to think that people just appeared on Earth assigned to be certain people, for instance I thought I would never grow and being a kid was just my 'job.' Therefore, I thought all the clothes that no longer fit me were just shrinking, and I couldn't figure out why.

I used to believe…

When I was before the age of five, I used to believe when a couple married, they would totally change their names. So when my aunt would call my mom, Jean,I would think,"hmmm, I wonder what her name was before she was married?

I used to believe…

When I was young I used to think that when you got really old then you got younger again-kind of reversed! I thought that when they got down to babies again they would die!
I can't beleive I said that!

I used to believe…

When I was little, I used to believe that when you grow up, a fairy would come, and they would turn you into a baby

I used to believe…

Until I was about 7 or 8, I was almost completely convinced I was adopted. When I told my mom this she showed me a picture of her holding me, as a newborn in a hospital bed. I also, at the time, thought that when you adopted a baby, you got it from the nursery center in the hospital where they bring the babies after they're born, so I thought my mom adopted me, then went into a hospital room and took a picture so she could fool me later when I got old enough to figure out the truth.
