family

im not really sure if this fits in here, but i remember when i was about 4 or 5, i was acting up and being the littlest bit cheeky so my motherr said tht if i didnt be good a man would come and take me away until i did be good, just then the milkman knocked on the door to collect his money , but being young, i thought he ahd come to take me away, so i grabbed onto my dad and screamed the house down, i bet my mum felt really bad afterwards!

When i was way younger i used to belive that one of my dads friends was SUPERMAN!!

When I was 6 my father told me that women were actually creatures imported from another planet to serve men. I believed it until I was about 10.

Both of my grandmothers are named connie, so when i was younger, i thought that all grandmothers were named connie. I went on for years calling all of my friends grandmothers connie. I was clearly a specail child.

My mom used to get me to behave by threatening to sell me 'to the gypsies'. After hearing this a few times, I thought I was the wise one and replied, 'oh yeah, how much did they give you for me then?' Well, she must have been pretty mad at me that time - she replied '$2.75' - and I freaked, truly believing she'd gone at sold me away.

I used to believe that Grandmother's were not allowed to drive. This was due to the fact that neither on of my Grandmother's drove. I was always wondering when my mom was going to have to give up driving.

I used to think that my dad was olser then my aunt (who is actually 20 yearsolder than him) becuase I thought all men had to be older then women. Ahh...so naive!

Clare, Ireland

I use to believe that i was adopted. I believed this until i learned about birth certificates. I'm still not sure, they are so different

It's not mine, but when my dad and his brother and sister were little, he and his sister used to tell their brother that he was adopted, because he had red hair and blue eyes (the rest of the family has brown hair and brown eyes) and because he was left handed. He believed them for a while, until he asked his mother if he was adopted.

I used to believe that Mr. Rogers was my grandpa. I blame mom.

Strawberry Soda

When i was around 5 or 6 my mom and sister told me that my mum had a special camera that was so small i would never b able to find it,and that she knew everything i ever did b/c of it. At first i didn't believe her, but then when i came home from piano lessons and she knew i had misbehaved, it freaked me out.

I used to believe that my uncle Trevor was actually John Travolta. I never saw my uncle or John Travolta, and their names seemed similar...i still think of my uncle as him.

When I was about 6 I didn't quite know how grandparents part of the family tree worked. One of my grnadfathers had died when I was very young and I don't really remember him. I still have both Grandmothers and one Grandfather. Anyway, when I was 6 we had a Grandparents' Day at school and our class had to write about our grandparents or something. One of my friends asked about my deceased grandfather and I answered something like "Oh, he died, but I've got this spare one anyway!". Didn't quite get how it worked! :)

i used to believe that if you stepped on a crack, you would break your grandma's back. my kindergarten friend told me that she once stepped on a crack and her grandma borke her back that same day so i freaked out. one day i accidentally stepped on a crack and ran home crying. i called my grandma and apoligized for breaking her back. she just laughed and laughed and i finally realized you could step on cracks without breaking someones back.

I used to think that there was someone who looked exactly like me on the otherside of the world; that everyone had a twin and that I wanted to go overthere and meet them.

Amber

My brothers to piss me off sometimes told me I was adopted, and that I was the housekeeper's kid.

I used to believe that when my parents went out for diner, they'd get desintagrated by an evil alien with a laser gun. I even had nightmares about it where I'd try to warn them, as I was the only one who could see the green monster with the huge fangs. I used to cry so much when they went out, and I'd say goodbye like I'd never see them again

A friend's older sister was mean enough to tell her little sis that she was actually adopted and that if she misbehaved, her adoptive parents would send her back where she came from, in Lituania!

When I was about 4 or 5, my dad had me convinced that he had once caught a bullet in his teeth. I believed that until I was, oh, about 12 or so, when a friend told me that was impossible and I was stupid.
