I use to believe, when i was 5, that if you laugh too much you had to drink orange juice or you would die (because my sister told me). Then one night my sister and I were laughing a lot because we kept on saying 'poo'. Then I remember what she told me and i went to drink some orange juice but we didn't have any. I almost cried. So i called my mum to ask where the oranges and the juicer was. She told me, then i made orange juice to drink and drank it. My sister just laughed at me.

When I was little I used to believe I could control the direction of the wind. I called myself 'Wind Girl'. I didn't realise how funny that is until later on.

I used to think that boys peed out of their belly buttons, so of course why couldn't I? I tried for a long time but it never worked.hmm.. wonder why ;)

My older brother once explained to me how he thought digestion works. He said that there are little men in our stomachs and when we eat, the men pack up the food in boxes. They stack the boxes really high, and then when the stack reaches our mouths, we burp, and the stack disappears. So the men would start another stack of boxes.

Not only that, but my brother would wiggle his fingers on his tummy, sort of in a tickling motion, to make the men work faster.

He could believe whatever he wanted, but he couldn't convince me!

When I was about 3, I used to have a Dallas Cowboys sweatsuit that I'd wear all the time. In fact, my parents had to wash that thing while I was in the bathtub. I would cry if anyone called me anyhing but Dallas, and I believed that my sweatsuit would protect me from wolves.

When I was a little kid I thought celebrities never had to go to the bathroom. Maybe it was just because they never had toilets or mentioned bodily functions on TV.

I used to beleive there was a portal to another universe hidden behind my neighbours couch, and only I could use it. I never had the chance to use it because we moved house.

I thought one couldn't (shouldn't?) pull one's blanket up past one's belly-button. So, I was cold from my belly up, until my mom told me otherwise.

A girl I knew in the fifth grade told me something that I believed for a long time. Think about it. Once being told this, one would have few occaasions to hear it refuted. What she told me was that girls have only one kind of feeling telling them when they need to "go to the bathroom". So therefore, she told me, girls never know in advance whether they have to do "number one" or "number two", or both. They have to look in the potty to see what came out, in order to know what they did, so the story went.

I used to believe a man lived in my stomach with a blender. and he would put all the food I ate into the blender. if i threw up it was because he spilt the blender. i would get really mad at him sometimes.
