family

after watching roald dahl's "the witches" i used to believe my mother and every other female adult were out to eat me... they would all get together and swap recipes and decide whose child to have for dinner next at weekly meetings... i had a plan that upon capturement i would convince them somehow that i too was a witch and that my sister would make for better eating.

When I was about 4 or 5, I had learned that blind people had "seeing-eye dogs" to help guide them around, and that many of these dogs were German Shepherds. My grandmother had a German Shepherd named Baron and he always seemed to be at her side. So one day I asked my mother "Is Grandma blind?" because I assumed that Baron was her guide dog.

My father told me that I was descended from royalty, and I used to think he grew up in a palace and was treated like a prince.

I used to beleieve that after my mom or dad would tuck me in my bed and go downstairs they would leave the house and never come back! I always would listen for my mom or dad to sit down in the chair in my living room wich you could here because it can go back. Once I heard the chair I would know someone just sat in it then would fall asleep. I know its stupid! :)

i used to believe parents had to decide if they wanted boy children or girl children before they had any, because my mom had four sisters and my dad had a brother. i thought my parents broke the rules because i have both brothers and sisters.

Once when I was around four or five, an older relative of mine told me I was so cute that he could "just fold me up in his pocket and keep me there". I'm still not sure what that means, but it terrified me as a kid because a pocket would be a terrible place to live!

I used to believe that even though I was the big brother and my parents had a baby I could be the little brother. I was born first and my parents treated me like a little child so I used to think I could be the little one forever. When my sister was born I understood I was no longer the youngest.

I used to think that my cousins on my mother's side were grandchildren to my grandparents on my father's side. What confused me was that one of my mother's sisters was one of my father's parents foster children. So it seemed logical.

I was the youngest of several girls and my mum and
sisters always told me that they had found me in the middle of the road in a basket and that they felt sorry for me so they decided to keep me!!! How cruel were they...! I don't think I really believed it but they used to say it so often and for years, that I sometimes wondered whether it was true!!

Lexy

When my mom told me she was adopted and explained that meant she wasn't blood related to my grandparents I figured she wasn't but I was because I had brown eyes like them and hers were blue.

Sissy

My siblings used to tell me that I wasn't really their sister and that my parents found me in a dumpster. I believed them and whenever I was mad at my mom I used to scream "Well I'm going to find my real mom!"

I used to believe that parents had to have a boy first, then they could pick the sex of their child. This concept worked for all of the families I knew, except for a family around the corner who had six girls: Lori; Linda; Leigh-Ann; Lesley and Liz.

When I was younger, my parents told me that I was adopted. I was told that my real parents lived in the basement of the McDonald's down the street because there were stairs that were on the side of the building that went to the basement. My biological parents also told me that my "real" parents were big green and ugly monsters. I actually used to believe this.

Shelby

i used to believe that my family were the only family that farted because i never used to hear anybody else fart, and i never asked anyone about it!! lol!

Linda Finlay

Up until I was about 15, my mom would insist that there was a such thing as the 'Mommy Rule Book'. She kept saying that (a few 'rules') we couldn't tickle her even if she tickled us because it was against the 'Mommy Rule Book', couldn't poke her, couldn't do anything to her because it was against it.

I only believed it for a few years but when I was 15, she finally admitted to it.

When i was little i used to believe that when my mom or dad was "grounding me" they would actually bury me underneath the ground, So whenever my mom or dad would say dont make me ground you, id become good really fast.

I used to believe that my mom was a queen and my dad a policeman.

My dad is a musician and my mom a director....
