When I was little I thought that Catholic reffered to people who followed the Catholic faith, and Roman Catholic was a Catholic who dressed in historical clothing, such as armor, helmet, etc. I thought they drove chariots, like how an Amish person drives a buggy.

When I was little to keep me from going to the bathroom during church sermons my grandmother told me the men who stood in the back had the job of spanking children who tried to go to the bathroom during the preaching. I didn't know they were just ushers and I believed this. One day I almost peed my dress. My grandma told me to go to the bathroom and I burst into tears. I didn't want a spanking! She had to drag me to the bathroom. Guess she realized telling me that wasn't the best thing to do...

Our grade 2 class did First Communion, and all the girls and boys walked down the aisle in church in pairs. I assumed that the boy I was partnered with was the one I was supposed to marry later on.

This happened to me when I was a child of about 4 or 5 years of age:
My mother used to pray with me every evening before I had to sleep. Eventually she abandonded this habit but told me, that it would be very important to pray independently, e.g. for my brother, sister, grandparents etc., because god would be allmighty and could see and do everything.
Firstly I prayed every evening, because I believed in what my mother told me. But by and by I grew weary of this and so one day I prayed: "God, if you are really allmighty and if you really can do everything, could you please,please pray for me every evening ! "
After doing this I breathed a sigh of relief, because I felt freed of my duty. Honestly, I never told her...

When I first moved to Idaho, I had no idea that LDS was a religion. When a new neighbor girl asked me if I was LDS, I thought she meant the Drug LSD. Needless to say I freaked out because I thought she was giving it to me or something.

As a child in Brazil, someone told me that every night a spirit/saint would come to check on me while I slept.
I imagined her being a slave, with a long dress and wearing a headdress, and being all white.
I made sure I slept on time so she could check up on me, I was afraid I'd make her angry if I didn't sleep on time and she couldn't check on me.
Now being a firm Atheist, I still wonder about this ghost/saint...;)
