our mother
told us that if you stepped on a sharp object like a pin or tiny piece of glass, that it could go thru your blood veins to your heart and kill you.
A childhood belief about people
others believed things like this

- The song called heart of glass mixed me up as a kid. I heard "Heart and ass". — oops
- my aunt used to have an imaginary friend who instead of having blood had 7-up in her veins.Anon
- I thought the blue veins in some cheeses were actually blood vessesls!— Helen
- I used to believe that salt would dry up all of my blood because my mother told me so.— Charlotte H
