When I was 3 or 4, and my mom told me to go into "time out", I tolded her that I wanted a new mom. So she said ok and called the "new mom store" she said that my new mothers name was Judy and she will be here any minute. So I was crying in my room and the doorbell rang, then I heard a little old lady(a.k.a. my mom) telling me to come out for supper. Then my mom told me that she wasn't real. But then we went to her friend Judy's house and I was scared because I thought that she would take me away!!

When I was little I used to write my dad 'secret admirer' letters. I told him I had borrowed paper from his daughter so he wouldn't realize who his admirer really was. Then I left the letters on his pillow...how did he figure it out?

when i was about 5 i used to believe that my grandmother was really an aligator in a human skin, and when she went home at night alone, (she was a widow) that she would take off her human skin and lick her lips, thinking of who to eat next!

When I was little, my mom used to leave me at my friend's house. My friend had trouble sharing and got into trouble a lot. I thought that if she was bad enough, her mom would give her to my mom so that we could eat her.

I've always felt a weird connection with my grandfather, who died before I was even born.
So, whenever I played on the swings I thought that he was trying to pull me to heaven.
Amanda
I used to believe till I was about 5 or 6 years old, that my brother (11) and sister (10) were deaply in love with each other. For what other reason were they together all the time?

When I was 5 or so my dad told me that Indians are the people who "were here before us." I figured out that that meant my family had not always been "here." Later, I asked my mom where we were before now. She misunderstood me and said "We were always here." From that I guessed that in the past my family had been Indians, and had just spontaneously turned Irish at some point before my parents were born.

I never met my father, so when i was little, even though my friends had dads which i met, i used to assume that there was only like 5 dads in the whole world who fathered us all, and we all belonged to one of the 'dads', but that they gave us away to our actual mums and 'stand in dads'. I used to believe that one of these 'dads' was a statue of a fat butcher outside my local butchers, and that at least two of them were probably psycho killers, and that mine was probably either the butcher or a psycho killer, and I really hoped that it wasn't the later because I would be doomed to take after him since i was nothing like my mum, i must naturally be like my dad.
When I was in kindergarten some kids in our class didn't believe our teacher when she said she had a father. It wasn't until I was five that I knew adults had parents.

I still, after all of these years, remember the time my Nan rinsed her silver hair with a shade of blue. I also remember thinking that she was an alien replacement that looked very 'human' but forgot to get'human' hair. I think it took a couple of days and a lot of convincing from my Mum to believe that it was really my Nan.

My grandmother told me when I was a small child that the reason my grandfather did not have hair was because everytime she kissed him he lost a hair. I would not let my grandmother kiss me until I was much older.

I used to believe my parents had been captured by the Invaders from Mars and programmed to act very weird all the time. I was always looking for those small pinholes in the movie on the back of their necks as proof. It was the only explanation I could come up with for their behavior.

Whenever I got in major trouble, my dad would always shout, of course, "You're grounded!"
I thought he made up that word, so about a year later when I heard it on TV, I thought my father must be famous, his new word was popular enough that it's now being displayed on television!

I used to believe my grandfather was Mahatma Gandhi. When people used to talk about Mahatma Gandhi..I used to think..they are talking about my granddad.

When I was younger I believed your second cousin was the cousin that was born second closest in age to you. And Ironically enough my real second cousin was the second closest in age to me.

My husband's mother died when my son was 5 years old. My husband told him that, "Grandma will be with you where ever you go, watching over you." For the next several weeks, my son would cover up with a towel before taking a bath or undressing and would insist on wearing the towel during his bath. We thought this behavior was quite strange so I asked him what was wrong and he whispered to me, "Grandma's with me and I don't want her to see me."
