When I was around six, my grandma came to visit from a different state. I saw her push her false teeth out with her tongue, and for years I believed that it was a trick you learnt as you got older. Whenever I was bored, I would try to push my teeth out with my tongue. I was determind to do it, to show my friends. I was disappointed that I couldn't do it!

When I was about five years old my dad had the chance to be a supervisor at a local Boeing. He declined the offer, and came home and told my mum about this offer he got, but rejected the idea, I heard what he was saying and got mad at him, and said "I wanna be a supervisior", all because I thought you got to wear a special "visor", and that meant you were royalty.

When I was little, I used to believe that boys would turn into women, and girls would turn into men. I guess I believed it because every girl I knew was flat-chested, including myself. I never said anything because I truly believe it was true.
Now I obviously know that doesn't happen, but it is kind of funny looking back...
I used to believe that all the grown-ups were never little kids. Like when my mom would tell me something that happened to her as a kid I wouldn't believe her. I know all kids probably believed this but whatever.

When I was little, I saw a movie where two people went up to a glass wall in a hospital and pointed to a baby and said, "Look! That's our baby!" I thought this meant that people laid out babies in hospitals attached to churches, and after people got married they'd go and pick out their baby next door.

My brother always firmly believed that one day would be older than me. My mom told him that he wouldn't, but he might be bigger than me. I figured that this meant I'd shrink at a certain age to be smaller than him.

When I first heard about evolution and "humans coming from monkeys" I honestly thought that we were never babies, but monkeys that turned into people. I figuered we never saw the change because it happened in the wild.

Usually your older sibs tell you that you're the adopted one, but I was such a sissy then my older brother got me with this one. When I was 8 years old, my bother and I passed an old building that was abandoned. He told me that he had bad memories of that place. He said that was where my parents had adopted him from. He told me HE was adopted and that someday he would leave to find his real family. I cried for weeks!

When I was about 8 years old, I was a flower girl at my parents' wedding which was held in our front yard. Until I was about 16 years old, I thought that they were renewing their vows. That was when my Mom told me that for the first 8 years of my life, my they weren't married!

When I was younger my mother and father used to tell me that if you were bad in a way, they would send you to the "BAD GIRLS HOME" whih was like a boarding schoolfor "bad girls". Weel, one day my sisiter was no where to be found and I asked my dad where she was. He told me she was sent to the bad girls home and she won't be back for another day. That night I saw her come home and asked her
" How was the bad girls home?"
She gave me a puzzled look on her face and no answer. I asked her
" Howwas it like?".
Still no answer.
I thought shewas shocked beyiong belief and never asked her again. For 7 years I pondered "Where is the Bad Girls Home?" I always assumed that it was located in the oil tanks near my home. It turns out that she was just over my grandfather's house, which explains the look she gave me, but not where the Bad Girls Home really is.....
