I used to think Cancer Research was just people learning about the disease and thought all the money would go to doctors and medical students because they would be using expensive computers and would have to pay a big internet bill for all the different websites they visited!!!!

I used to believe…

In primary school, I thought my teacher was diabetic, because she was testing a pen on her finger, and the red ink looked like blood.
I thought 'how can she be allowed to do that when she's working, in front of us kids?!'

I thought herniae only occurred in male genitalia.

I used to believe…

Thanks to a lullaby which said that “mother never sleeps” I used to be sure that my mother didn’t sleep, even if she has always been a sleepyhead and I always saw her sleeping at night and in the afternoons too.

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, I thought that the only reason I couldn't fly or walk on water was because I just needed to practice.
It must run in the family, because my mother claims she used to think the same about levitating.

I used to believe that Lupus (the auto-immune disease) was actually a werewolf disease. I thought this because I saw an internet meme when I was 12 about Dr. House. One of the other doctors suggested that the patient might have Lupus, and Dr. House scoffs at the ridiculous idea and says it is not Lupus. I was a smart kid, and knew that Lupus meant wolf in Latin. So from that meme, I knew three things about Lupus:
1. It’s a disease.
2. It was so ridiculous that Dr. House scoffed at the idea of a patient having it.
3. It meant “wolf”.
Therefore, Lupus must be a werewolf disease. I thought it was a made-up disease, like a zombie virus, so when I heard of someone actually having Lupus in real life (around age 17), I thought it was a joke before realizing that Lupus must be something different than what I thought it was.

I USED TO BELIEVE
For watching cartoons on television
I used a super power ful girl
I imagined i was flying

I used to believe…

When I was little girl, I used to believe, I thought that by squint too much, I could block my eyes and every gust of wind my eyes would stay like that, so in my car, I never opened the windows except when I was wearing sunglasses. Now I do not believe it anymore and I open my windows without fear, and I thought that every storm my house would fly like in the movie '' La-Haut'' but that's another story that I'll talk about later...

I used to believe…

When I was a little boy I used to belive that when I was very concentrated I could fly, so I jumped in my pool in order to fly but I didn't realize that i couldn't fly and I got hurt in my head with th water. Now I do not believe I can fly and i think I was a stupid little boy.

I used to eat a lots of spinach when I was kid in the hope of becoming stronger because I thought all iron from spinach would go into my muscles, and that was what transformed them into tough muscles...
I no longer think this. But I keep eating spinach however it's not this that is going to help me to get a model body !!

I use to think that if you ate your poop it would change colour each time it passed through you, so first time it is brown and then you eat it and it will come out red, then you eat it again and it becomes orange and all like that through the colours of the rainbow. I never did try to prove this theory.

I thought that one alternative to having your tonsils out, although I correctly had the feeling that the doctors would just do it through your mouth, was that they would actually cut your throat open.

I used to believe everything mostly mental illness is when you are very ill and might die! And I am mentally ill myself!

i used to think tampons were some kind of air freshener and whenever i saw one in my mom’s pocket book i would rip the plastic off and sit, waiting for a fresh scent to fill the room. i also would open them and leave full tampons and applicators around after pooping bc they’re air fresheners

I used to belive that the wrists blood vessel gave me magical power.

I used to believe that people got babies when they got hurt and at the hospital they would give the baby as a reward. This was because when my cousin was born I asked my parents “ How did auntie get her?” They’re reply was that my aunt was wearing high heels and she slipped, so she was taken to the hospital and they gave her a baby of her choice. So one time I was throwing up a lot and then I was taken to the hospital. When the doctor said we can go back home I asked “ But where’s my baby?”. The doctor was speechless and my parents looked at eachother embarrassed.
