    I called tacos "burritos" and vice versa, until I was probably 11 or 12. I felt like they were incorrectly named for some reason.

    I also remember being really concerned about frogs vs. toads

    I used to think the only reason I was so much lighter than the other kids at daycare was because my dad made me wear sunscreen every day. Also, my parents once told me that I was born with black hair but it all fell out and grew back nearly white-blonde. So naturally when a friend mentioned wanting my blonde hair I suggested they cut theirs all off because then it'll all grow back blonde.

    ETA typo

    I used to think going to college would get you a good job when you grew up.

    My mom had a fear of heights. When we'd go over large bridges, my father would tease her to keep her eyes shut because 'we're going over the bridge now!' I closed mine too. I couldn't see the roadway from the backseat, so I thought that cars drove UP AND OVER the TOP of the bridge, with their tires on the cables holding the suspension bridge up.

    When I was five my mother went into the hospital for a dislocated disc in her back.

    Earlier that morning while walking to school with my older brothers, they were teasing me that if I stepped on the cracks it would break our mothers back.

    Still to this day I cringe at cracks. I obviously know that it wasn’t the cause, but it took me a while to understand that it wasn’t my fault.

    Once when I was mad at my mom I stepped on a crack on purpose.

    Phil Collins to me, has a mechanical voice when he sings! Therefore the 1st time that I heard him sing upon the radio, I legitimately thought that he was Robo Cop singing!

    I HAD NO CLUE about student loans until years after college. I'd heard of them, but I thought to get "a loan" you would need some crazy good credit on the level of what you might need to buy a big house or new sports car. My 18 year old self? Nah.

    Everyone I knew either had rich parents, a full ride, or didn't go to college. I was hustling 24/7 with 2 jobs to pay for extras since my partial scholarship & middle class parents' help wasn't even close to covering things.

    In a way this is good, in the long run. But it's so embarrassing! How did I not know!?

    Not me but my neighbor has an adopted son. He is from Africa, and they are a white family. When he was a bout 5 we were all sitting around at a BBQ and he asked his Mom out of no where when was his skin going to turn white. He thought all children were born with dark skin and over time it would gradually turn white. LOL
