body functions

I used to believe that those huge cone-shaped places where they store salt and sand in the winter were called "comas" and when a person went into a "coma" they were placed right in the middle of them on a hospital bed. Somehow I knew that they were "asleep" but for some reason they were placed in those cones.

when I was young, I thought girls didn't poop, only peed. I don't know why I thought that.

I used to believe ammonia and pneumonia were the same thing. I always wondered why we kept a bottle filled with a disease in the house, and was afraid to open it.

My mum told me she had eyes in the back of her head. I believed this for ages and was always cautious of doing anything wrong behind her back just in case. One time I went looking through her hair for them. She must have been worried that I'd find them - or rather, that I wouldn't! - and she suddenly said, "Ow! You just put your finger in my eye!" and so I stopped.

What a genius way of keeping up the illusion!!!

I used to believe I had the power of telling the future. I thought that it was only in it's devoling stages though, because when I go outside to play in the rain my eyes would subconsiencly close and a rain drop would fall on my eyelid. Only recently I found that it was probobly my eye lash sensing it. """ """

my little sister had a cold, and since it was spring time... she naturally thought she had spring fever! she later than figured out that spring fever was not an actual illness!

When I was younger I was sure that I could transmit my own thoughts into other people's heads. I once used this to transmit all the asnwers to a test to a girl who seemed to be struggling. She then started to write down her answers and ended up doing well on the test. I felt really bad about "cheating" for the rest of the year. I was also afraid that somebody would figure out she wasn't smart enough to do that well on her own and they would figure out my power and send me away.

when i was 2 or 3 , I was sleeping and i saw letters coming out of my bed room wall! (TRUE) so I then go into my parents room because i was really scared and numbers were coming out of there wall!

Once at a friend's house (at about 18 years old) my leg went to sleep while watching a movie. I got up and limped around on it when her little 5 year old sister came down and asked me what I was doing. "Does your foot ever go to sleep Kathy?" She thought for awhile and then said, "No, but my head does."

I used to believe…

When I was little I got chickn pox and i got a rash on the back of my head.
I thought that there were fleas on the back of my head plotting the best time to eat me.

I used to believe…

When I was young my, very superstitious, grandmother would tell my sister and I that everytime we hiccupped a drop of blood would fall off our heart. Everytime i got the hiccupps I would panic and hold my breath or eat a spoon full of suger (upside-down) until they went away, paranoid that my heart would dry out and I would die from them. I still think about it when I feel them coming on!

I used to believe…

When I was young, I was told the story of Icarus and his wax wings. I thought that maybe if I made wings like that then I would be able to fly as well. I took a roll of paper, wrapped it around my arm and glued strips of paper to it. I took a chair and jumped off of it flapping as hard as I could. It didn't work but I did end up with a sprained wrist.

There is a part of that still believes its possible.

I use to believe that little blue men worked and lived inside everyones bodies. They would "build", and that's how we would grow. I thought they had hammers, ladders, all things you need for construction.

My cousin told me worms from the dirt would go underneath your nails and lay eggs and when u bit them you would eat the eggs and then later when you went to the bathroom you would poop out live worms.

I used to believe…

When my Dad was playing hockey he hit his head and had to go get a catscan and i thought that a cat had to stand on his head. I was so confused and did'nt understand what the cat would do to help him.

I used to believe that I could fly like Peter Pan. But I still do believe in fairies!!!
