One day I came home and told my mother that I knew how to make adult trees. Unfortunately, she misunderstood me and thought that I had told her I learned how to make adultries. She was very relieved to know that I was just learning how to draw trees the adult way.

Up until I was actually in 1st grade I thought 1st graders and above only did homework all day with red lights instead of regular ones and the teachers would watch over you like a hawk.

When I was in elementary, I believed that the term " make-up work ",(the work you owe when you're absent), meant that I would Actually get to play with make-up. Beleive it or not, nothing came along to prove me otherwise until the sixth grade!

When I was in Kindegarden I used to think that first grade or any grade higher than it was like an arcade and I would be able to play arcade games all day.

( I was very dissapionted when I finally went to 1st grade)

when I was in grade school I missed school one day and had to stay home. My older sister told me later that day that it was too bad I didn't show up for school because Superman had showed up and landed on the roof.

In my first PE class at my primary school there was a boy that thought that to get changed for PE we had to take all our clothes off. Now all the pupils from my former class are traumatized!

When I was in Kindergarten, I went to the first grade class for reading because my reading level was too high for all the Kindergarten reading books. We would do these dumb little packets every week with questions about the story and vocabulary and all that junk. I would always make 100's. A few times, though, I would make 99's or 98's. I would be so scared that if my parents found out that I didn't make a hundred, they would yell at me and spank me. So I would throw the 99's and 98's away, never to be seen by my parents.

When I first went to school the boys bathroom was right next to our homeroom and the girl's was around the hall. I didnt know that the bathrooms were seperate so I tried to go in the boys and my teacher yelled at me. I didnt understand why I couldnt untill quite a while afterwords.

Before I went to school my sister tried to explain what it was. I thought that it was just one big room and hundreds of kids of all grades stood there while a teacher stood on a stage type thing a taught.

When i was in primary school we had to sing the National Anthem at Assembly.I was never actually taught the words so you had to follow everyone else's words and I thort I was singing the verse right until my mum corrected me one day. In the verse where it goes
"Our land abounds in nature's gifts" i used to sing "our land arounds in nature strips" i guess it describes the urban areas!!

National Loser

My sister is eight years older than me and when i enter Kindergarden she told me not to use the bathrooms because all the kids wipped their snot on the walls of the bathroom, so i remember i wouldn't even go into the bathroom during school.

Before I was 4 years old, I was a very spoiled child. So when it came time to go to pre-kindergarten and we had to clean up our toys I was shocked, but to make it fun we sang this song. I used to believe that everytimg you had to clean up something, you had to sing the song. So when I entered kindergarten and the teacher said it is time to clean up, I started to sing to song, I got some dirty looks from the other children.

When I was in preschool, there was a pretend clock in the room. The hands never moved. Our teacher said if we didn't look at it, it would move. I believed her and I used to always peek at it out of the corner of my eye, thinking it wouldn't know I was looking and the hands would move.

When we explained to our son that he would be starting school soon, he asked how long he had to stay there. We explained he would go to school until he was about 16. He started to cry - he didn't realise he would come home every afternoon- he thought he had to stay at the school until he was 16
