My older brother used to be really obsessed with dinosaurs, bursting out the scientific names at a young age. When I was 3 or 4 he would call me 'Meredithipithicus'; as in a made-up dinosaur. But because I so often was called this I actually thought it was my name! I went to a store and some lady asked me what my name was. I told her very seriously that my name was 'Meredithipithicus'

When I first saw this website I thought Anon was a person who kept posted beliefs and I was getting really annoyed because I wanted Anon to leave space for the other people. I also thought Anon had no life. But obviously Anon stands for Anonymous

i used to think all clowns were named emmett like the staues, I couodn't beleive that they didnt want to come home and have a meal. I had them confused with the homeless and my mother often got upset about me trying to invite clowns to come to our house and eat.

When I was about 6, one of the boys in my class told me that his older sister was turning 7. I got seriously confused because I knew his sister, and she was ALREADY 7 and couldn't understand why you got two 7th birthdays. So I asked him why, and he said it was because thats the law. Later on I asked my mom when my second 7th birthday was...she just looked at me like I was insane and told me to finish my dinner.

I used to think that you could have your birthday any time you wanted, and that people just chose to have their birthdays once a year. I wanted to have my birthday once a day instead of once a year. Many mornings I would get up and announce to my family that today was my birthday.

i used to believe that when my parents played the nose game in the car, they would actually take my nose. so one time my daddy took my nose and pretended to throw it out the window. i cried and cried and cried so much that we had to turn around and go "get" my nose.

When my boyfriend was a kid, he used to believe that clowns constituted a race of their own. He believed that clowns had clown parents and clown children. So cute!

for some reason, sometimes when my mom and i would go to stores i would loudly announce my b-day...thinking that the strangers around me would come to our house and give me presents. didn't think to also say my address...and i was always disappointed that those complete strangers never got me anything! lol

I managed to convince my brother when he was young and annoying that if he sang a certain song a dragon would come and eat him. He believed me for months until our mother was singing the song one day and he got worried.

Whenever I had a birthday party as a child and someone would say, "make a wish" as I was blowing out the candles, I always believed that that meant I had to hold my hand up to my face while blowing them out. I don't know why, but I didn't know what a wish was.
