family

when i was little, i was convinced by my mom that you could love up to the moon. so when we would argue over the phone when i would go to montana i would say "i love you to the moon so i win" and then i would hang up and expect to see hearts all the way up to the moon. i was kinda immature. ot her than that i was fairly logical and normal.

when my mommy nags me about something that i did wrong I always called on my frienbd tru phone... she also sad that she also gets nagged by her mommy... Now we had this belief that every night when all children are asleep... parents form a secret society in a place and talk wityh each other on their next plan to ruin our days...

I used to call my granparents Omi and Opi, thinking that it was their real names. At the time I thought how cool that they met and their names rhymed, it wasn't until I was about 8 that I realised that Omi and Opi are grandma and grandpa in german.

I used to believe my parents were speaking in a different language when they spoke to each other because I was too young to understand

When I was about 4 or 5, my granpa had died. My granma, instead of wallohing, she decided to have a party. Being the strange family that my family was, they made a joke that my grandmaa was having a sex change. And for the longest time, until I was about 10 or 11, I had avoided my grandma because I thought that she had been dating herself.

My fanily got a big kick out of that once I told them why I had been avoiding her.

I used to believe that a family had to have one mom, a dad, a son, a daughter, and a baby of any gender. Since I am an on;y child, I thought my family wasn't a real family.

When I was in kindergarten, my friend always talked about her cousin. One day I decided to ask her what a cousin was (at the time I didn't have any cousins, so I didn't know what it meant) and she said "it's like a baby brother or sister", so being only five or six, I thought it WAS a baby brother or sister. I thought it was a fancy/smart way of saying brother or sister. So throughout the rest of the school year, I referred to my younger brother as my cousin since I thought it would make me cool, until my mom told me that I don't have any cousins. I was pretty disappointed, and everyone thought I had a really cool cousin.

I used to believe that my cousin and I were twins because we had the same first name just spelled differently and to make it worse my grandmother would dress us up a like and tell people we were twins. I was devistated when I found out we were not reallly twins!

That my mom was an alien!

Boo

my great auntie found out that she was adopted when she was a baby and she got told when she was 60 so i used to be scared that my mum would tell me i was adopted

Every Christmas and every time I lost a tooth, I used to get letters from Santa or the Tooth Fairy..... I would gloat to all the other kids how our idols were sending me letters and no one else.

Then I found out it was Grandmother writing me the letters the whole time, and I was furious. I thought it was her way of not letting Santa or the Tooth Fairy come into our house.

If I was misbehaving my grandma used to say that if I didn't behave myself a gypsy would come and take me and put me into her bag full of snot! Everytime we went to the shops in town I was on the look out for the gypsies with their snot bags.

I used to believe that my older sister was half-alien, half-human. She told me that, like an older sister would.

H.S.

When I was 12, my older brother was big into army stuff and always drank from a canteen. I went into his room one day and saw the canteen. I stuffed a bunch of ritz crackers in it and poured tabasco sauce in it too, then shook it up and left it there. The next time he took a drink, he spat it out all over! The belief comes in because I just recently told him I had done it (I am 26 now) and for all this time, he thought it had been our younger brother! (Because I would never do something like that...)
