people: appearance

I guess from hearing too many dumb-blonde jokes, when I was growing up I really truly thought that blonde people were dumber than people with other hair colors. Like God had made it that way so you could tell if a person was dumb or smart. (Boy, was I glad I had brown hair!)

When i was 4, the adults in my family told me that if i made funny faces, my face would remain as such. for years i feared mking funny faces and told my friends to be careful.

i alwaysed wondered what i would look like when i was 17. so when i turned 17 i was stunned that there wasnt a drastic change from 16 to 17. man was i dissapointed

me and my dad both thought that there were left and right socks and when i couldnt find a left and right socks i would ask my mum for a right sock i could borrow

when i was little, my mom always bought me those cool colored socks. i was so excited to wear my new purple ones one day, so i put them on right away. that night, when i took the socks off my feet, i noticed that my feet were all purple. i was terrified that soon i would turn all purple too, like the girl in 'charlie and the chocolate factory'. it was SO scary

I had heard that people got their ears pierced by having the earring shot through their ear (with a gun of some sort). I thought that they stood you against the wall, took careful aim ... and if they missed, that was how you wound up with nose or eyebrow piercings.

My son had very light blond hair as a small boy and we called him our "little toe-head". He'd always say, "Nossir!" Years later he confessed that he thought we were telling him his head was shaped like a big toe. Poor baby.

I used to go home and wash my face befor I seen my mom because one time I returned from my friends after a normal day of fun that two unsupervised 7 year old boys would have .and my mom within 1st second of saying hi mom was cut off by her aying what have you done you have guilt written all over your facem wich led to a confession and a lot of trouble,that is why you must wash the guilt off befor you see mom.

When I was about five years old, my brother told me that there were 6 other people who were exactly like me in every way and they had the same name and everything. He told me that there was one of me for each continent. So the next year We went to England (I live in North America) and I went around to everyone asking: "Have you seen me?"

I believed that there were seven of me until I was about seven years old.

I thought that when I closed my eyes no one would see me.

As a child I believed that clothes would naturally shrink over time; I didn't realize that I was growing larger.

I had an old nightgown of my own that was too big for one of my dolls, so I hung it in the closet to let it shrink. By the time I found it again in my closet, I had come to understand that I was getting bigger and my clothes were not shrinking over time!

Once, my friend's mum came into the room while I was at her house, wearing a gas mask and a see through shower cap, because she was sanding, and I thought she was playing dressing up, and she was being a nurse.

In 1st and 2nd grades it was "cool" to wear a bra, and, of course, none of us did. But I used to roll up my undershirt and tell everyone I was wearing one. I was so cool. lol

when i was little (ok, i take that back-until about 5th grade) i used to think that pimps were people who had a lot of pimples. i would hear people on TV say, "hey that's pimpin'!" and i thought they were insulting them and saying they had a lot of pimples.

I used to believe that when you put on a shoe, it didn't matter about if it was left or right, it just had to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was very young, I used to believe that one day I would grow a beak, feathers and wings so I would be able to fly. I used to pratise flying by jumping off the sofa!
