When I was little I saw this commercial where it was just the camera on a hospital ceiling for 30 seconds. It then says "Think that was boring? Try it for a lifetime. Don't snort". Meaning cocaine, I guess, but snorting my runny snot back up was a bad habit my mom had tried to cure me of constantly. After that commercial I was afraid it would kill my brain and I always kept a box of tissues by me so I could blow my nose instead.

I used to think that if someone was quitting smoking "cold turkey", it meant that every time they had a craving for a cigarette they would go to the fridge and eat a piece of cold turkey instead and that would make the craving go away. I figured that's why everyone said it was so hard to quit "cold turkey", because I didn't really see how eating meat could help. And I believed this until high school!

Once a friend told me that if I kept biting my nails, a big nail ball would grow inside my small intestine because they wouldn't get digested and then the doctors would have to do an operation to take the nail ball out. I am still not sure if that is true or not. Just kidding. I was stupid enough to believe that when I was 11.

I used to think that my boogers were a sentient race of virus beings that had learned to shrivel up in case of enemy attack, which explains why they didnt move when i picked them out. I thought it was very clever so every time i dug one out i would look straight at it with one eye and point at it with my finger and say, "im on to you!" i would then walk to a nearby bathroom and flick it in the toilet. As you probably guessed, I read a lot of science fiction novels back then...
