people: appearance

You know when you couldn't wear your clothes any more because they got too small for you? I used to think that the clothes actually did get smaller - not that I got bigger!
I've figured it out now, though...

when i was little i thought that my socks iched my feet, so my sister would tell me to just turn my socks inside out to solve the problem. So, from the age of 3 to 5 I was serten that evenone wore there socks inside out!:)

My mom told me that those slap bracelets will chop off your hand if you try to put one on. Turns out she just didn't want to dish out the money to get me and my sister one.

My brother kindly told me that I was so ugly my parents had to pay people to act behind 'mirrors' everywhere I went so that I would have a normal life and not know that I was hideously ugly. He also told me this was why our family was poor.

When I was little, I found a jock strap lying around our family room. My two older brothers told me that it was a gas mask, so I put on my head to see if it worked. They told me that there was a part missing in the front - that's why it didn't work.

when i was about 12, i was convinced that my eyebrows needed to be about an inch higher on my forehead...i would spend hours in front of the mirror, wishing them to be higher so my forehead wouldnt appear so big!!! thank god, it never happened...can u imagine someone with eyebrows in the middle of their forehead...i would have had to join the circus!!!

From the time in toddlerhood that I started wearing underpants, I thought that other people could see my undies through my clothes, and spent lots of wasted time making sure that my undies matched my outfit. It wasn't until fifth grade that it occurred to me that I couldn't see anyone else's underpants.

I remember a down-filled jacket I had always wanted (you know the large puffy-looking type).

One Christmas Santa brought it for me and I was thrilled until I looked at a label on the jacket that said "outerwear", which I mis-read as "underwear" and I refused to ever put that jacket on. I thought it was ridiculous that anyone would wear underwear outside their clothes to stay warm!

Children–beware of what you ask for… (and always read the tag twice!)
