When I was about 5 years old my great-grandmother told me, "If you sing at the table you'll get a crazy husbend." I Believed it until about highschool. To this day, I tell my own children this.
When I was little, my dad told me that he was transforming into a welk after he pricked his finger on a thorn in our garden. Me and my sister got really upset about it and started crying. We used to make him little "I love you" presents just in case he turned into a welk any time soon.
when i was little i was convinced my parents were trying to poison me, so every time they put a drink on the table for me and my brother i would take the one with less in cos i thought it would be the one with no poison. i have no idea why i thought this!

I used to think my babysitter was the luckiest person ever, because she was really old (in high school) and still lived with her mother.

When I was little I used to think I had to marry my sister, and have kids with her (that's how you find your spouse). Boy was I wrong.
When I was five I thought I had my family all figured out. My parents had the same last name because they were grown-ups, my brothers had a different last name because they were boys, and my sisterand I had a different last name because we were girls!!! Come to find out my mom was married three times. :)
When my sister was about 2, she was colouring on a piece of paper.....when she she ripped it by accdent, she got up....totaly unfased, ans went to my dad.....she asked him to fix it for her.
it took my dad quite a while to explain to her that daddy couldnt fix everthing.

i have a sister and a brother and i used to wonder who i would marry because i thought that my sister would marry my brother and i would be left alone

when i was 5 i used to think that people only live for 10 years and i thought that my parents were 7.
i was really gulable when i was younger and one time my big brother told me that i was the devils daughter and that my real name was Damien he told me when i turned 10 that the devil would come and take me to hell for years i believed him my mum didnt know he told me this and wondered why i was so upset on my 10th birthday
From watching movies and my mom's soap operas, I used to believe that if you loved someone a lot, you French kissed them (although I didn't know it was called that), and since I loved my parents and brother's a lot, I should French kiss them. My mom set me straight on that pretty quickly.
I used to believe…
That my parents never went to sleep because when I went to bed they'd be sitting in the exact same place when I woke up the next morning.
i used to belive that since my grandparents and aunt and uncle lived in florida so did my dad when he was a kid. Now i know htat he used to live in New Jeresy
When I was little and did something bad, my parents would always tell me about my perfect brother pete, and how they lost him and ended up with me. I really believed I had a brother Pete, and was always trying to be better than him!
I used to believe that my dad was only "my dad". I used to get so frustrated when my cousins called him "uncle mike" because he wasnt their uncle mike, he was MY DAD!
When I was little, I found a book called (I think) No More Secrets For Me, about a little girl whose stepfather molested her. I read it and came to the conclusion that all stepfathers molest their stepdaughters. Imagine my horror when I found out one of mommy's boyfriends was going to turn into a stepfather!
Even now, at age 20, I'm not terribly comfortable around my stepfather.
when i was little i used 2 think that my mom went up 2 strangers when she was pregnant with me asking "would u like 2 b my baby's aunt?" i never realized that my aunts were my mom's sisters until I was about 8 or 9 . . .haha
my dad's name is donald and when i was little i used to tell everyone that my dad was Ronald McDonald. and every time i was with some one and i would see a statue of him i would tell them that was my dad.
When I was a little girl my dad told me that it wasn't 'air' in the bubbles of bubble wrap, but actually a very poisonous gas. He said if I continued to pop the bubbles, I would destroy the ozone layer and contaminate the oxygen in the world, thus killing the entire world population. It was only a few years ago that I realized he just hated the "popping" sounds and that it actually oxygen in the bubbles.
