Default When I was little - some things I thought - that are not so -

When I put money in the bank, I would get the same money bank.

There was only one Montgomery Ward store.

I know there are more things - that's all I can think of at the moment -

Were any of you as "disenchanted" when you found out otherwise?

That life was easier than it is, and that I would be rewarded generously for my hard work and effort.

- That grown-ups could do whatever they pleased!

(Well, some do - but the responsible ones also do things they "have to/should do" )

That eating carrots would make my eyes better. Never did! Or was it getting curly hair. Never did that either!

My dad told me that all babies born were little girls - but some would turn into little boys when they sat on a big rock down by the river. (I had 2 sisters and no brothers.) He had a picture of the rock with a little girl on it and then the other picture with him on it.

Oh and if you eat burnt toast it would put hair on your chest. (Needless to say, I never ate the toast if it was burnt in any way.)
