getting older

When I was about 5 I was convinced that as you got older you got taller, cos everyone I knew who was older than me got taller. Consequently I believed you just kept growing and growing throughout life. In hindsight, my grandfather should have been 10 feet tall.

I used to believe that kids got older while grown-ups got smaller.

I used to believe that someone who reach 13 could do anything like work to earn money, drive, vote, posess adult material, watch R-rated movies, smoke, drink alcohol, be alone, etc.

I thought that, by age 10, you were a grown-up. I think I got this idea from babysitters who were only in their teens, but were in charge.

when i was little i had two very well thought out things that i wanted to be when i grew up..... in kindergarten i wanted to work at burger king so i could get free breakfast burritos... and then later on in life, i dumped that idead and wanted to be the ladies in the magic show who turned into panthers... the only thing that worried me was whether i'd be the front or the back.. lol

I had some friends who were younger than me. I thought that I would slow down when I grew and soon they would become older than me.

I used to believe that when you grew up, you became the opposite gender of what you were when you were a kid. I thought my mom started out as a boy and my dad started out as a girl. I became very mad when I thought I was going to become a girl when I grew up!

When I was little. I always thought that when grown ups were young I was old and that when I became old again, the grown ups would become young again.

When I was a kid I used to think that 16 was old. Why? Because grown ups didn't want to play the way I did and neither did 16 year olds. Grown ups were old, so it seemed like anyone who didn't want to play with toys and have fun was old. None of my 16 year old babysitters wanted to play with toys.

I used to think that when you go out on a date, you would go to this one place a lot like the mall called "The Date" that had stores, restaurants, Movies, CD shops, and even phone booths. and supposedly it was a HUGE skyscraper thingy

When I was a kid, I could not possibly believe that ANYONE would want to grow up and leave their parents. I was about 6 and told my mom that when I grew up I was NEVER going to leave her! And now I know why we grow up and move out.

My dad used to tell me that when I got into my teens, I would turn into a "Gorshkin," a kind of animal that has horns. I used to picture some kind of gargoyle or puck creature.

It turns out it was his little joke, and he actually told me that in my teens, I would become a Gorshkin, which was "horny" creature.

When my sister was about three she would always say that she wanted to grow up to be a big girl just like her brother Chris. She would also say that first she would be a girl then she would be a boy then she would be a mother and then a father.

Not me, but my cousin thought you had to be 30 to have body hair.

This girl who was playing With me told me her birthday was on April 13th I told her my is on December 4th I thought that she was older I really want to know if she is older than me.

I used to think that grown-ups were always grown-ups and kids will always be kids

When I was little, around 4 or 5, I used to think that when you feel in live, you'd hear the angels sing...

Also, I used to believe that love was just a game people played
