When I was little I thought that the my parents real names were in fact "mom" and "dad" I got really mad when other people called there parents that too because those were my parents names!

This story is actually more for our brother...When he was around 2 years old, my sister and I told him that he was born a monkey and had to undergo several operations to make him look like a little boy. Every time we would go to the zoo, my sister and I told him it was cus mom wasn't sure if we were going to keep him or give him back to his real family. (hey, we could have taken the "you're adopted route") It wasn't until he was around 4 that mom finally realized that the poor kid actually believed us... Even today (at 21) he's not so fond of the monkeys... :-

I used to think that everyone in the world had a twin somewhere, and those with actual twins were just out of the odds born in the same family.

My mother had thick, black hair that she sometimes pulled into a braid, and sometimes left loose. When I was a kid I thought the lady on both the Sun-Maid raisin box and the Land O' Lakes box was her. Who else could it have been?

I remember telling my mom when I was about 8 that I thought it was kind of funny that she did all the work in having me and my sister and how we werent really related to our dad because all he did was stand there when she and him got married. I couldn't wrap my head around why no one else cared that they werent related to their dads. My mom looked at me strangely before laughing and walking away.

When I was a kid, I used to believe that my parents were aliens wearing suits that made them look human. I thought that they would take their suits off an night when I was asleep and walk around in their natural form. I never did catch them though!

Once we (my siblings and I) were baby-sitting a very young boy who had just discovered that his parents have "real" names, and that "Mommy" and "Daddy" are more like titles. Sharing his pride at his discovery, we asked him what his Daddy's real name is. He said "Brian." Then we asked him what his Mommy's real name is. He said "Honey." (Her name is Marion.) We thought this was very cute!

I used to think my grandma named my mom "Mom" and my other grandmas named my dad "Dad" and I always wondered how they knew their children were going to have kids one day! Suppose they didnt? Wouldnt it sound kind of weird?

im not really sure if this fits in here, but i remember when i was about 4 or 5, i was acting up and being the littlest bit cheeky so my motherr said tht if i didnt be good a man would come and take me away until i did be good, just then the milkman knocked on the door to collect his money , but being young, i thought he ahd come to take me away, so i grabbed onto my dad and screamed the house down, i bet my mum felt really bad afterwards!

Based on tales spun by my grandad I used to believe that sitting with your back to a fire would dry the marrow in your spine out. It was only till I was about 28 that I realised the he had been bullsh!t!ng me and wanted me to shift so he could get his share of the heat.

When I was little and my mum and dad went out they would always say they were going to see a man about a dog - I upset every time because we never ever got a dog and I wanted one so badly.

I used to believe that all of your aunts were your mother's sisters and all of your uncles's were your father's brothers. This was because my mom had 3 sisters & no brothers, and my dad had 2 brothers and no sisters. I remember being very confused at 5 years old when I was told that the man my Aunt Nancy was marrying would be my Uncle Shane. I couldn't figure out how he could become my father's brother.
