grown-ups: marriage

when i was age 3-6 my mom babysat all my friends for a living. we debated between 2 theories for marriage, one was that you had to marry the person if you kissed them, the other was that you had to marry someone if you went on a date with them. I flatly refused to believe the first and whenever one of my friends told me that, i remember correcting them that that was wrong but that the other was right. I was very stubborn on this subject. I don't remember why this was but i think it had something to to with my neighbors who were older than me and i think eigther they believed this or they were playing a joke on me.

I used to think I was going to marry my mom, even though my dad was already married to her.

I used to think marrage was just so moms can have kids and the only reasons dads did it was because the moms took care of them. When my dad left I thought it was because he didnt like my moms cooking anymore.

I Use to that all couples got married twice to renew the marriage

I used to believe that having children could only happen after a wedding with the person you are married to.

i used to believe, that if you were married you were a mum and dad

When a man proposes,he gives her a ring. So I used to think that the bride gives the ring to the man so he can put it on her finger when they get married.

I used to think that when you got married someone gave you a baby and you had to name it and you never gave birth to the baby. Then after I understood that that doesn't happen, I believed in the stork. THEN I thought that when old people get "too old", a new stork carries them off to a factory where the give them better bones and new skin and baby fat and then they turn into a baby and another stork carries it off. Then I thought they needed one for a stork, so they had some for storks also.

I thought that to get married, your spouse had to have the same eye color as you did.

I used to believe…

That getting married and being happy wasn't something you had to work at -- it was just another inescapable part of growing up, like losing your teeth or going to high school.

i though that the man and woman couldn't really have babies until marriage,lmao,what a stupid person i was

I used to believe that if you had sex, you had it before you married someone and then stopped after your wedding.

when i was a little girl my mom used to tell me it was illegal to get married before you were 25. so at my cousins wedding i thought she was breaking the law

When I was five, I used to believe that once you got married, you automatically had kids. I once visited a married couple's house with my parents and thought it was strange that they didn't have any kids.

I use to believe that when you get married, you need the same colour hair. I believed this for quite awhile until I remembered a friend and his parent's had different colour hair.

when i was 9 or 10 my older sister decided it would be cool if she organized a wedding for my younger brother and i. we sent out fancy invitations to all the neighbors, had a veil made out of lacy tablecloth, and two gorgeous wedding rings made out of aluminium foil. i don't think we really got married though, as my brother refused to kiss me (and good thing, too!).
