When I was a freshman in high school my friends knew that I had Amish friends. One day I was telling this girl named Megan all about Amish living. For some reason I made up a story on the spot about how young Amish boys use the afterbirth of a cow as hair gel. I tolg her after the cow gives birth, the Amish wait until the afterbirth comes out and the scoop it into a jar. Then they seal it with wax and put it in the icebox until it thickens. The they just crack the wax and dip their comb in the jar and swipe some on thier heads like Dapper Dan.
On our senior trip she was talking about this story to me. I finally told her after four years that I made it up.

When I was maybe 4 years old, I suddenly decided that I couldn't wear pants anymore, because pants were for boys. I have no idea where this came from. Plenty of my little girlfriends wore pants, and I'd happily worn pants during my toddler days, but I wore nothing but big frilly dresses for years for fear I would become a little boy.

pants ; ;

I thought that the taller a person was, the older they were.

When I was about two years old, my mother caught me playing with her makeup -- and took my picture. I think I must have thought that all makeup came out of the same tube, because in the picture I'm holding a single lipstick, and I have applied it to my lips, cheeks, and eyebrows.

When I was not quite two and my mother had just finished changing my (cloth) diaper, I told her "Now Mommy lie down. I change Mommy." I believed that all adults wore diapers, just as I did. I thought the toilet was for washing them out.

When I used to wear dresses when I was about 5 and it was one of my first times of going to the loo on my own. I took off my dress then did my business. No one told me that you just pull down your pants.

Well, when I was a kid I guess I'd heard everyone talking about the 'gun' they use to put the studs into your ears when they pierce them for the first time. So up until the time I actually got my ears pierced in about grade 3 I had this weird, scary picture in my head of an old western style house with a porch out front, and you stand at one end and the piercer stands at the other and they carefully aim a nailgun-like thing and shoot your ear from a distance. Freaked me right out.

My best friend told me that he was upset because he found out there were 7 girls for every boy in the world and he didnt like being outnumbered.

When I was a little girl I used to think that the backs of earrings were made specifically to mimic ornate iron fences.....

..I'm still a little off.

Before kindergarten I think it was, our family went and stayed at a hotel, and I have no idea why. Why we were there, there were these twin girls, and I thought that if I looked at them, my face would start to look like theirs, but when I went underwater, My face was normal.

All races other than those of Asian origin had exactly the same facial features. The only thing different were the hair color and texture, and skin color.

When I was about 5 I was shopping in the clothes department at Kmart with my mom, and there was a heavy woman holding up children's clothing. I pointed at her and audibly said 'Fat!!!!' My mom tried to quiet me, but I proceeded to ask how she was going to get those little clothes to fit her.

My teenage babysitter, who was the superintendent's daughter in my building, always had a big chain hanging out of her back pocket (a keychain). I never knew what it was though, and I was afraid that if I touched it, an alarm would sound and her father, the superintendent, would come and arrest me or something (I thought being a superintendent made you a sort of king or something...)
