I use to believe that the pulse you feel inside you wrist and your neck was really your heart moving from one place to another inside your body.

My daughter thought that ear wax was peanut butter.

someone told me that to get rid of the hiccups, you had to close your eyes, hold your nose, and draw a cow in the air.

My brother came up to me once and said, "Rachie, when does your booger-maker stop making boogers?" He thought that once you became an adult your booger-maker working.

When I was a kid my brother told me that boogers were parts of your brain falling out of your nose. I believed him but it didn't boter me. I just figured brains were supposed to fall out.

I thought that if I said "Excuse me" enough times, I would be even for all the times I burped as a baby and never said it. I must have said it at least 500,000 times until my teens or twenties just for good measure.

when I was about 4 or 5 and at my grandfathers house, i noticed that my mid-torso moved when i breathed. i thought that only adults were supposed to do that so i held a pillow against myself and took slow short breaths so the pillow wouldn't move (i was afriad someone would say something to me about it if it did). Even now i try not to move too much when i breathe.

When I was younger, about 5-8 years old, I believed anything that I thought, day dreamed, or make something in my head, that it would show up in a thought bubble for everyone to see what I was thinking.

as a kid my mom used to tell me that if I didn't take a bath/shower, spiders would start living in my hair. I don't think i ever really believed it, but i always ended up bathing after she told me.

At age 5 my babysitter told me that me that my insides would collape if I sneezed and farted at the same time.

My best friend Maggie's dad told her that if she ate bread crusts it would help her learn to whistle. She told me. So we would eat everyone else's bread crusts at lunch. I didn't like the bread crust much, but I ate it thinking it would help me whistle until I was way too old.. Like 13.

Someone once told me that if you kept your eyes open while you sneezed your eyes would pop out. After that my parents always saw me making the craziest faces trying to keep my eyes open while I sneezed.

When I was little my grandfather told me that if I didn't stick my tongue in the spot where my tooth was pulled it would grow in as a gold tooth. I was always disappointed because I never grew in a gold tooth. I also never could keep my tongue out of there!

When I was a kid, taking the example of pipes that supply
hot and cold water, and take away waste from the drain, I assumed that the
things you ate and drank travelled around one's body in similar pipes,
metal no less. I believed that there two openings in the back of ones
mouth or throat; once was the pipe for liquids, one was the pipe for
food. I suppose I came up with this arbitrary separtion by noting the
separate "pipes" for liquid and solid waste. I was always curious to know
how exactly your body managed to direct food or liquid to the appropriate
pipe and how it dealt when say, I mixed a bit of water with my food as I
ate.

When I was young...I was watching my aunt breast feed her son and I asked her why she switched sides. She told me because one side is white milk and the other side is chocolate milk. For the longest time i actually thought that was true!

Whenever my parents were just waking up, they would yawn. So I thought yawning was something you did when you were waking up. My mother sent me to take a nap that I didn't want to take when I was about 3, and my argument was, "I'm yawning! You only yawn when you're not tired anymore!"

As a child I habitually had a blocked nose, which meant I usually had to breathe through my mouth. I used to think that if I were able to breathe through my nose, not only would I be able to breath air, I would also be able to breath under water. I evidentlly believed that all nose breathers could breathe under water. I tried it once - it definitely didn't work!! :-)

When I was little, everytime I got a cramp I thought ants we inside my body and were putting salt wherever the cramo was.

Anon

I was told that if one doesn't cover their mouth when yawning that their soul would escape.
