When I was little, my younger sister was eating a peppermint and kept taking it out of her mouth and puttingit back in. Well her fingers got all sticky so my mom gave her a kleenex to wipe it off with. The kleenex stuck to her fingers and she thought the skin was coming off of her hands!
A childhood belief about skin
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that tapioca was made from boiled used kleenex.— Abby
- I used to think that bodily tissues were kleenex sheets that grew in certain parts of your body.Anon
- I thought your fingers would grow back if they got cut off— Nate
- My sister told me that if I picked my nose there were snail creatures inside of it that would bite my fingers.Anon
- I'm autistic, and I used to believe taking some of my sister's food while she was eating it was sharing.Anon
- When I was a kid, I slept with my fists balled up because I thought if I didn't, E.T. would eat my fingers. — Brian
