When Dame Edna Everage once said in a talkshow that he was born with purple hair, I thought she was serious, and I have proclaimed this believe at parties for years!

When I was in grade 3, I was busy looking at an encyclopedia for the first time. I was amazed that people on the other side of the world looked so similar to the people here in Canada. I thought they would look alien, like from outer space or something, with strange faces and bodies.

I used to believe that when an African American and Cacasiun had children, the children were white with brown spots and that's why it was tabu

When I was about 6 years old and I first heard of "facelifts," I thought the operation involved a complete face transplant. This was in the early '70s. So, when I heard Phyliis Diller had one I thought she'd have a completely different face and somebody else would be walking around with her old one.

When I was growing up I lived in a very white community and had only heard of indians in the context of pocahotas (sp?). So anyway when I was about 6ish I got ill and my mom took me to the doctors and before we went in my mom thought it would be a good idea to tell me about the indian nurse I was going to be seeing. When I walked in I was a little confused and when the nurse walked over to her desk I asked my mom 'where's her feather?'.

i used to believe that black people were made from chocolate and i saw some running one day and they were sweating and so i announced very loudly "look mummy they're melting" CRINGE!

When I was 6 or 7, I believed that people could have yellow skin like in the simpsons

When I was little, I couldn't understand why I had freckles and my brother didn't. My dad told me I followed a cow too close and when he pooped it splattered on my face. I spent hours trying to wash them off.

For Christmas, when I was 5, I got a Baby So Beautiful, which is an American doll that is designed in millions of ways, which means it can look like any little kid. I got one that looked exactly like me brown hair, green eyes and big red lips. I thought for a while that my sister and I (who got one too) were famous and everyone was buying our dolls. This happened until I looked at the catalogue.

When I was about three and I was learning my colors, people would try to tell me that my sister's platinum hair was blonde. I would tell them "No it's not, it's white".

When I was in elementary school, I really wanted to be a cheerleader. I had seen some cheerleaders perform and they had put tiny bells on their shoes by threading them through the shoelaces. I thought all cheerleaders wore bells on their shoes all day long.

I decided that I would be "cool" like the cheerleaders, so I put a bell on each of my shoes. I wore these 2 small bells to school on my shoes the next day. I discovered it wasn't so "cool" to have bells on your shoes at school!!! I jingled with every step as I walked the halls of school. It became so annoying to everyone that my teacher asked me to try and walk softly, so I wouldn't make so much noise!!! How embarassing!!! LOL.

I used to believe that if someone hit my back while I was making a face, my face would stick that way forever! One time my Grandma hit my Grandpa when he was making faces at me during dinner. He pretended to be stuck. I am still traumatized!

Jenette

I used to believe when I was little (Because my mom told me), that when I pulled a funny face (Like stick my tongue out etc), if the wind came up and blew on my face, my face would stay like that forever! It would freeze it there. Needless to say, I never went outside on windy days...just incase...

My dad has rather bulbous lips, not huge but largish. My mum has really thin lips so when I was little I thought that boys had fat lips and girls had thin ones. kind of strange I didn't notice anyboys with thin lips.... ( or vice versa since my mum says my sister has "kissable" lips". She's only nine!)

razza matazz

I was told that if the wind change directions as you were yawning your face would freeze that way. I was so afraid to yawn.

I used to believe that people with my name looked like me. I thought after all, if they had the same name as me, they must be my twin.

Liz

I used to believe that jean jackets were made out of metal, and that's why they were blue. Jeans weren't, just jean jackets.
