I used to think that my body was actually a mechanized vehicle, which was controlled by tiny people in my head and throughout my body. A man in a suit controls my body movements. Also, I thought that different parts of my body were housing different things. I thought my stomach was the cafeteria for the crew (LOL.) I also believed that whenever i got cut, the skin would be repaired by little engineers inside my skin. Finally learned the truth when we studied the human body in 8th grade.
