Ever since I was 12, I believed that my mom really saw a guy sneeze his eyes out. So whenever someone sneezed, I'd yell out "Close your eyes!"
A childhood belief about eyes
others believed things like this
- I used to think that if you don't close your eyes while you sneeze YOU DIE!!!!— Nutter
- I used to believe that if you sneezed with your eyes open you would die!— Becky
- I was born brunette with brown eyes and dark hair, i thought people with blue eyes, had water in them.Anon
- When I was little my friend told me that if you snease with your eyes open you eyes will fall out!Anon
- when I was young I used to believe if I squinted my eyes and it was windy my eyes would stay like this forever— Jeanne
- if I watched too much TV, I would get 'googly eyes' as mom promised, and my eyes would pop out of my head.— claire
