My Jewish friend has a mole on the exact middle of his knee, and so do his other family members. Since he and his family were the only Jewish people i knew, I thought that only Jewish people had moles in the middle of their knees while other nationalities had them on a different spot in the knee, since I was Norwegian-American and most of my friends were American/Mexican and didn't have moles in the middle of our knees.

When i was like six or seven years old, I once thought that when someone said something about "black people", it referred to their hair color, not their skin. Because of that, I thought that I was black, since I had black hair. I don't even know why I thought that, since I'm actually far from it!

I used to believe that girls had no nipples. I just assumed that nipples were for boys, and girls just had bags of skin on their chests.

When my little brother was born, I believed that the reason he has a dark complexion and I have a light complexion was because he had been born at night and I had been born in the morning.

When I was younger, I would always pass a tattoo parlor on the way to the grocery store. Secretly, I wanted to go there to get a tattoo. Except I didn't want a permanent tattoo.. yes, I thought they sold temporary tattoos !
