family

When I was in kindergarten the other kids at school would talk about their moms and dads and they were talking about their names and they asked me what my moms name was, with my mom forgetting at some point to tell me they actually had names, I told them my moms name is mom and my dads name is dad they just laughed and said what is their real name and I said that is their name......I always thought it was a coincidence that both my grandmothers names were mema, thought my parents were destin to be together because of it.

When I was 5 I used to believe that I was the only child in my family, and all my brothers and sisters (I have 4 brothers and 1 sister) were strangers. One day I asked my Mom who they are and why they slept in our family. My Mom laughed!

I used to think that all parents were exactly the same as mine, they just belonged to different people. I also thought that all parents treated their kids just like mine treated me.

I used to believe that when people moved, they left their current house and 'hoped' to get the house they wanted.

One day when my aunt was going through the moving process, I proceeded to give her a 5 minute lecture on where the house key is in case she moved out but somebody else had gotten the apartment first.

I used to believe my dad is a superhero and he goes out a night to fight evil supervillains and when I grow up I'll be his sidekick.

when I was a kid, I used to believe that only girls could be my friends and all other boys were my brothers.

My grandpa had retired and did some carpentry as a hobby. He typically used varnish instead of paint. So I thought that all varnished wooden objects were made by him.

When I was about 5 I went on a family trip to a safari park, along with my mum and grandparents, came my uncle and aunt. Now my uncle is a wonderful man, but can be quite shy and quiet. However he is very clever so when he does speak I listen.
We were pulling into the drive of the park and went over a cattle grid. Being from the city id never seen one before and asked what it was. To which my uncle answered its a ''Gazumnearmniebush'', being so young and coming from him, I assumed it must be true.
Imagine my embarrasment when going over one on the college coach ( on my 1st day, at age 17) and exclaiming that it was a gazumnearmniebush. Luckily another very kind student explained the truth. My entire family had taken to using the word, assuming I knew what they were really called but just liked the name.

My Mum told me she invented skipping and I believed her and told all my friends - still living that one down

I used to believe that I was supposed to be a boy. My mom had five kids: 3 boys in a row, me, then my younger brother. So I figured God made a mistake when he made me....Boy was I wrong!

My Dad and I used to tell my little brother that our Dad sprouted wings at night. And since I was only a teenager, mine weren't fully developed. And also, that he, himself, would one day sprout wings.

Our house at the time was weird. We had a second floor that my grandfather had built by himself. On on one side, there was the roof of the first floor. On the other side there was about 3 inches of roof that the gutter was attached to.

My brother believed us about the wings, but my Dad wanted to make sure. He couldn't stand on the side with the big portion of roof because then my little bro would figure it out. (He was gullible, not stupid). So in his infinite genius, my father climbed around the side and all along the back of the house on the 3 inch portion, all the way to his bedroom window, where my bro was hanging out with my stepmom.

he knocked, my little brother saw, flipped out, believed us even more. It was great. To this day my little brother swears he was just humoring us.

Sidenote: about 30 seconds after impressing my brother, my father fell 15-20 feet onto a stack of white plastic patio chairs.

my cousin (7) had known for a long time what sex and pregnancy was. but not how the baby got out of the mother or that you had to have sex to get pregnant. she was told and she decided that since it was so disgusting making babies and so hurtful letting them out them she would just buy one at a orphanage.

I went shopping with my mum wen I was younger and she put a note in a machine (which gave you change for the shooping carts.) and all these coins fell out.
My grandmother gave me a pound note and I was so excited as i thought I was going to be rich until my mum told me she had put a £20 note in hence the 20 £1 coins that came out.

I used to believe that we can change our parents and pay them to be our parents

I told my little sister that she was stolen from Gypsies. I told her that me and my parents where on vacation and saw a group of gypsies washing their clothes beside a river and that she was laying in a basket to the side sleeping, so my parents stole her. She believed me for years until my mother finally got tired of me torturing my sister, so she dug up some old pictures of my sister in the hospital right after she was born to prove that she was an offical member of our family.

My Grandfather was the "biggest" kid I knew. He used to tell us stories that as kids we would believe every word he said. For example, one story he told us was that years ago he "won" the lottery and that he felt sorry for them and they would not have any more money, so he gave it all back. I think I believed that story until I was about 10 years old!!!

When my mother disciplined me - I believed my "real" mother was locked in the cellar and the person disciplining me was a monster.
