I used to think men were not allowed to cry. Especially Native American men for some reason (it may have had something to do with the sternness of Kokoum in Pochahontas). When my younger brother would cry I would tell him this and he would try to stop because he wanted to be a man.

When I was young, I was terrified of throwing up for some reason, so every time I got a stomachache I would freak out. Well, one day I was annoying my mother so much that she told me if my sense of smell was in tact it meant I wouldn't throw up. Needless to say, I believed that for 3 whole years. I was a pretty gullible child, but at least I stopped worrying.

My older cousin tried to scare me one day by telling me that if people were really tired and they hit their head, they would have a "spaz" and they would begin to try to swallow their tongue until they choked on it. My cousin said no matter what you had to hold their tongue down, even if they started biting you like crazy. Every time I hit my head that year I was terrified I would have a "spaz" attack.

Someone once told me that if your pee was too yellow that meant you weren't drinking enough milk. Since I hated milk as a child (and still do) I was terrified that something was wrong because my pee was yellow.

when i was little (under 6) i used to be afraid that if i ran around after eating id have to be taken to hospital and have a big hole cut into my stomach. I think this stemed from when my dad told me that you get apendisitis from moving too much after eating and then have to go to hospital to get it taken out. I remember one night soon after he told me this i was so scared that my stomach ache (coincidently after running around after dinner) would mean id have to get a hole cut in my stomach
