people: appearance

Like most kids, adults told me when I was little that if I make a face it would get stuck like that. My neighboor's mom had a lip deformity and I always thought it just got stuck like that. Years later I found out she had medical problem.

When I was six years old, my teacher once told me that if you would make a funny face at twelve o'clock at night, your face would stay like that forever. As a small child, I believed it, ofcourse. From that moment I wouldn't dare to look other then normal at twelve o'clock at night (that's IF I was up that late), untill I was about nine.

I used to believe that if I wore nothing but painted on clothes to my skin that I would still be considered dressed!
I did this a few times and even convinced my brother that we weren't naked and he got into the habit too.

I attended grade school at a small Catholic school in the US midwest - everyone i knew was either of Irish, French, Italian, Polish, or German descent. Until I was about 8 years old, I assumed all people in America were of these ethinicities. Even people who were other races: which makes sense because the few students of color at my school had surnames that were Irish, French, etc.

I used to believe that children all had rounded noses, and as you grew older, it would become pointy, and the nostrils would become long and thin. I dreaded getting older because of this, and i liked my button nose.

when i used to pull faces when i was little and my mom caught me she would tell me that "if the wind blew in the wrong direction that my face would be stuck like that" i still believed it until i was about 12 and auctually thought about it! :)

I used to think that what I thought would appear in a little balloon above my head, like in comics. I was terrified of thinking anything that might cause offense incase one of my friends read it above my head!

I believe It used mainly on one thing every child when it is small believes, Santa Claus. Believe that he would enter the chimney with his reindeer, they would eat all the food that we put there. Other very common things are to believe in fairy tales especially in the Pinocchio tale that many parents use as an example for the child not to lie, but because his nose would grow. These are some of the things I believed when I was a kid.

When I was in preschool I asked my mother what feminine meant. She replied - the things that make you girly, like your long curly hair. I became convinced that girls with short hair were boys and girls with medium length hair were girl-boys, or somewhere inbetween!

my mum when she told me if i keep frowning and the wind changed my face was going to stay like that. So I used to get my sister to blow across my face to see if it was true..... It's not.

We told our little sister that she had a long bushy tail and she fully believed us for ages!!

When we were in kindergarten, my friends and I believed that if we crossed our eyes and stuck out our tounge, and someone slapped us really hard in the back, that our faces would get stuck that way! Sometimes, we would play tricks on eachother and wack eachother in the back while we were crossing our eyes. When our faces didn't get stuck like that, we thought that our guardian angels were watching over us and that they made sure that our faces didn't turn ugly!!

My son (now 17) used to wear a necktie when he was 3 because he said he did not want people to think he was a stranger.

My Step daughter kept annoying me about the tattos on my arms and so I finally broke down and told her that when I was her age my mom told me not to draw or write on myself and I didnt listen, a few days later she was crying hysterically and I asked her what was wrong and she told me that her little cousin was drawing on her back and she went on to explain that she cant reach to wash her own back so it will be there forever !!!!!! hahahaha

i used to believe there were left and right socks. why not??

I used to think that mozart was george washington
