There's old pictures all over my grandparents house. One day my little sister asked "when Grandpa was little was he in black & white?"

My little cousin once told me "You are going to marry soon!". When I asked why, he replied with "Because your boobs have grown!"

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.

I used to believe that you were either black or white. Like if you weren't African-American, you were white. If you were Mexican-American you were white. I didn't even think about Asian-Americans. I believed this until my freshman year of high school, when a girl who was Mexican made a joke about white girls. Then I said, "You're white!" and she said, "No I'm not. I'm Mexican."

i used to believe that polishing your nails also consisted of painting your fingers.

My dad has a small white scar on his upper lip. When I was younger I used to think it was a white pencil line, which he applied every morning.

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

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.

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.

Leah

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

Ana

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

Thank Goodness Im Wrong

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.

I used to think that there were left and right socks, to go with left and right shoes. It took a long time for me to get dressed as I put the sock on one foot, then the other, trying to figure out which foot it was made for.
