Did Miss Trunchbull honestly think she was never a child? Lol.

Physically she obviously was! But maybe she was deprived of a normal childhood

Like how?

Hmm maybe she went through severe child neglect or was forced into child labor hense why she's bitter................something like that!

She just didn't want to admit she was.

She was obviously talking non-sense! Miss Trunchbull comes off as bipolar and somewhat mentally ill.

This is a woman who tosses kids out windows and locks them up in potentially dangerous uncomfortable closets.

Maybe a reference to her physical size, not her age?
