as a young tomboy, i had many scrapes and cuts on which my mother put antibiotic ointment to help heal. i somehow decided it was a cure-all and once helped my little sister's headache by smearing it all on her head and hair. it didn't make the headache go away. i'm now a nurse.

As a kid I thought that I generated flies, which hatched out of eggs in my poop. That was because when going on nature walks and having to poop outdoors, I would soon see flies swarming around my poop. I thought I never saw them when pooping at home because I always flushed the poop down too soon for them to hatch. So I thought I was a mother of flies. I presumed that boys' poop would not similarly produce flies because boys couldn't be mothers of anything. Sometimes I worried about flushing my poop down, being afraid it would drown the flies. I wondered if all girls were similarly mothers of flies.

I used to believe that the reason you washed a cut with water was so tha the water could seep into your body and replace the blood you lost.

When my family went camping on Labor Day weekend with another family we were friends with, I remember whenever somebody farted, one of the member's of the other family would cover their beer or drink with their hand. I thought from then on that if you didn't do this, then the fart would get into your drinks.

Whenever somebody burped, I would suck in real deep to capture thier burp and then blow real hard in a different direction to get the burp away so I would'nt have to smell it. Pretty stupid, huh?

when i figured out how to make myself burp my older sister told me that my intestines would burst if i did it so i went round telling everyone who burped that their intestines would explode!!

I used to believe that when you go poop, and that you breathe through your mouth it would smell really bad as your poop.
I used to think that "eau de toilette" perfume was a special spray you used to make the bathroom to make it smell nice after you took a poo. So one day after I had a big one I went into my moms room took her most expensive perfume and sprayed it all over the bathroom.
I never discovered that I was breathing until I was about 9, when I held my breath in the car one time, then said to myself "whoa...so that's what breathing is...you do it to stay alive!!!" After that I became paranoid that I would stop breathing and just fall down dead one day.
I used to believe that when you ate food, it came alive in your stomach. (remarkably, i pictured it whole, as in before I'd chewed it.) I thought you got that "full" feeling because the food was pushing out on your stomach. I also believed this was how people got fat, because their food pushed too hard.

When I was little and had a tummy ache, I used to think that if you sat really still and didn't talk it would go away on its own. I guess I am a slow learner because I ended up puking all over myself more than once before I figured out that it wasn't true.
i used to believe that when you flapped your hands really fast you could fly which consiquently caused me to leap of a second story window flapping my arms like an idiot fortunately it had been a VERY wet month and i landed in a large muddy puddle
i used to believe that when you farted you released
"poo particles" and if somone let one loose during dinner i would refuse to eat another bite it wasnt untill i was 9 i realised that i realised my sister was lying

When I was younger my brother and I would listen to each others stomachs. My mother told us that it made these noises because there was worms inside there. I believed that worms were in my stomach with there own little control room controling my body and even controling the thought I had about them.
I used to think that our dreams were reality, and the reality we live in and remember was a dream that our brain creates to keep itself sane in the crazy world of "the real".

my mom always taught us that if we hurt ourselves, and its not bleeding, then it doesnt hurt. i broke bones, and never ever tell told her. even today, if i hurt myself, it doesnt hurt until i see the blood. its a psychological thing, but its a little weird.
