When I first heard that it was possible to break a limb, I thought you could break an arm or a leg right off. I thought you'd grow a new one; it would start growing back really small, and get bigger and bigger until it was normal sized.
I also remember the first time my Dad said 'your eyes were bigger than your stomach', and I thought my eyes did get, momentarily, really huge...
