When I was little, my parents gave me a watch as a present on one of our family vacations. It fit me perfectly, and at night it would show stars in the background of the dial, and the sun during the day. It was my very first watch, and I loved it. We traveled all over the state, making pit-stops at family's houses, and visiting the coast, all the while my watch ticked marvelously. When we finally got home after a few days, I couldn't find the watch I had grown to love and cherish. I was devastated, but learned to live with disappointment, and move on.
A few weeks later, we revisited my grandparents, and Grandma had something new and exciting to show me. She said that Grandpa had given it to her as a gift, and she pulled back her sleeve to reveal a shining ticking replica of the watch I had lost - stars and all. I was shocked. My youthful suspicions awoke. For years I was convinced that I had left my precious watch at my grandparents' house and that my cheapskate grandpa found it and gave it to my grandma as a present. How could he do such a thing to me?!
It wasn't until recently that I thought about it harder, and realized that the band wasn't even the same, and that I had probably just left it in a hotel room somewhere in our travels. I recounted the story of my hot anger and betrayal when the granparentals came to visit recently, and we all had a good laugh.

My brother tortured me by saying he was going to eat the house and he'd bite into the woodwork in the kitchen. Everyone laughed while I cried my eyes out and I could not understand why they were not worried!

My dad has rather bulbous lips, not huge but largish. My mum has really thin lips so when I was little I thought that boys had fat lips and girls had thin ones. kind of strange I didn't notice anyboys with thin lips.... ( or vice versa since my mum says my sister has "kissable" lips". She's only nine!)

When I was in grade 3, I was busy looking at an encyclopedia for the first time. I was amazed that people on the other side of the world looked so similar to the people here in Canada. I thought they would look alien, like from outer space or something, with strange faces and bodies.

When I was very young I thought that underpants were worn only under pants. When I wore skirts I wouldn't wear anything beneath them, not having any underskirts. It took a windy day for my mother to catch on. We called them underclothes after that.

Yesterday I thought that Anon on this site was one person, so I was thinking, "wow... this person has a whole lot of beliefs." Then I realized that there were entries that could have been from a female, and then a male. It took me quite some time to realize that anon was short for anonymous...

When my sister and I were kids, we couldn't say Lillian, so we called our aunt, Aunt Little. I just thought it was because she was short.

When I saw 'Anon' on this site, I thought that he was maybe the moderator/inventor of this site, because it had a link. But certian belifes led me to think that Anon, (which I pictured as an African immigrant) was both a boy and a girl, and I was shocked. I found out otherwise when I clicked on the link.
I used to believe when I was little (Because my mom told me), that when I pulled a funny face (Like stick my tongue out etc), if the wind came up and blew on my face, my face would stay like that forever! It would freeze it there. Needless to say, I never went outside on windy days...just incase...

My fathers name is the first part of his surname and so my little brother always thought that his surname was the last part of our actual surname

For a while, I thought this 'Anon' was some Middle-Eastern person. I thought this because when I was in 3rd grade there was a kid from Iran and he had an Iranian name. Anon sounded Iranian to me...
