when i was 2 or 3 there was this helper at my daycare. she was my favorite helper so i believed everything she said. well i used to suck my thumb and she said one of her sister's friends sucked their thumb and their thumb turned hot pink and their teeth stuck out like a walrus. well, being a little girl, i didn't care about the hot pink thumb part. (it was my favorite color back then!) i didn't know what a walrus was so i asked her. she showed me a picture and i thought that was what i would turn into! i was afraid that i would become all gray and wrinkly and get walrus teeth and walrus whiskers. i never sucked my thumb again!

My dad used to smoke so obviously I thought it was a thing that only dad's did cos mum's dad and dad's dad did too. When i first saw my brother smoking I asked him if he was going to be a dad and was practising. My brothar looked at me wide-eyed, him and his girlfriend were about to have their first child! You can imagine how span out he was! I have recently learnt from experience you don't have to be a dad, you can be a daughter too!

My mom used to tell me that if I picked my nose my brain would fall out so I told my cousin and between us we came up with the suggestion that if you pick your nose your brain would fall out and bring your ears with it because obviously evrything was connected! After deciding this we also decided that would mean your whole face would fall out of your nose including your nose! As you can imagine this got really confusing!

It wasnt till a week l8er that her mom called my mom and asked exactly how her daughter got this thought in her head.

When I was about 5 I used to believe that if I bit and swallowed a whole nail it would then grow in my stomach till the size of a reaping-hook and finally pierce my belly. I was convinced that navel was formed in that way. Luckily, after checking my body each day after bath I didn't find any other holes.
