people: appearance

When I was very young I asked my father what "mulatto" meant. He explained it was when a mixed racial couple had a child and the child turned out poka-dotted. For years I scanned crowds hoping to find a kid with spots, imagining them to look somewhat like a Jersey cow.

I used to believe that animal fur apparel was made by brushing the animal, taking the loose hair from the brush, and threading each strand through a sheet of fabric to make it stick out.

I asked my sister why ninjas wore so much black. She told me it was so they would blend in more at night. I then figured that if they were doing ninja stuff during the day, then they must wear ninja suits that come in white. I wasn't sure how effectively that would work, but that's what I thought.

When I was about 4 years old I used to believe that adults would take out their hair because they were all bald aliens and they only wore hair when I was around because it was a secret.

I believed this until the day I was in a bar with my parents and I told them I was going for a walk but I came back when I reached the corner, I found a big bald man and I hit him in the head with a toy thinking he was my father.

I thought homeless people had a disease that made them homeless. So, I held my breath when I. walked pass them so I wouldn't become homeless

i moved to a new town when i was little and most of the kids and teachers had brown hair brown eyes. i thought i had my blonde hair and green eyes because i wasnt from that town

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.

When I was about 7 I was a tomboy and wanted to be a boy. Another little boy my age told me that he could change me into a boy. I believed him and we spent an hour preforming a ritual to make me into a real boy.

when i waz little i used to think braces were jewery you put on your teeth!

I used to believe that the Statue of Liberty was a statue of my Aunt Joan! Nobody ever told me this, I just thought it was a fact because they looked similar.

At a young age I couldn't imagine how people without glasses could marry the ones wearing them.

I thought that my birth weight of 9 pounds was the golden standard and any baby weighing less than that was sub-par. This changed by the time I gave birth myself lol

I was so smart when I was seven years old. I could sleep a few minutes later if I just put my school clothes on the night before, and slept in them. The bonus was I would do this no matter what I was wearing...dresses included.

I used to believe that each sock had to go on a specific foot (like shoes). But I always had a hard time figuring out which sock belonged on which foot. I felt pretty embarassed to ask my mum for help, and when I finally asked her she started laughing. I thought this was because she thought I was stupid for not being able to tell which sock belonged on which foot. I was pretty confused.

when i first started school i had to get glasses and i never wanted to wear them. so my dad told me that if i didnt wear them, no one would recognize me. i didnt take them off again until i was in the fourth grade!

When I was little, I was told that God made people of every color.....I was sure he used a big toaster.
