getting older

When i was little, i used to believe in old peple were crazy because their brain as old too and they lost their mind so i scared about old people.
When i was little my great-grandmother lived in a pension house and every week with my father and my grandmother we went to vistit her . The day of her birthday we brought a big cake so i put it in the kitchen of the pension house, and during the party a grandfather ate completely my great-grandmother cake, so she diddn't have a cake for her birthday and i was very scared of this grandfather because i thought he would eat me too

When I was a little, I used to belive when I am older, I would need to change my name.
My mom's name was in my head a old name and I thought I would need to change mine to have a former name when I would be old too. One day, T went to my mom and asked at her what my futur name would be. She looked at me like she looked at a fool...
After that, I knew my name will never change, I was been a little disappointed. And I don't think my mom remember this day.

I used to think that college could be referred to as retirement school since kids over 16 leave school in the same way that older people leave work.

I used to think that all (or most) old people had sad childhood stories to tell, because of the wartime in their younger generation.

I used to think that someone's birthday was when they could go back to being a baby for the day.

I used to believe I was really special. Like, I used to think that I could reach anything that was on my mind. Going to Harvard? No problem, I could do that easily. Now, I'm 20 and I'm hit with the fact that it's not as simple. Maybe I am NOT special... It's quite depressing how a boy with huge dreams and ambition turned out to become the person of today. I still pray and manifest for my dreams. But 8 yr old me had hoped a much, much more successful youth...

When I was little I believed that the world and the people that existed, but as I grew up I changed my ideology since I met many more people in the world, I also believed that all people are good but when I grew up I could make a difference in good people and Bad people, also when I was little I had several dreams that I thought I was going to fulfill but when I grew up I was looking for something to feed me in the future that was not in my plans, I also believed that my father was the best but when I grew up I still think about it, but in reality it's not like that

I thought my grandad would get older, so I asked him 'What do you want to be when you're older?'.

I used to think bumper cars or dodgems were for kids under 16 to take driving lessons, especially if they had their mum or dad with them! I'm glad I never drove one with my dad, and I don't drive now as an adult, or he'd probably shout at me in the passenger seat about being a rubbish driver, knowing what dads are often like with their daughters!

I used to believe that people only grew upto age 10 as I hadn't been taught how to count beyond 10 at that age.

My mother has a neurological condition where she has trouble concentrating on multiple things at once (not ADHD).
When I was a kid, I thought that this was an "adult" thing and that as I got older, I'd eventually lose my ability to concentrate on multiple things at once.
As I grew to be a teenager, I thought that I was the weird one and had some sort of mutation or other that allowed me to focus on more than one thing at a time.
It was only when I was about 16 that I learnt that having trouble focusing on multiple things at once was the exception, not the rule.
