I used to think that if I held in a sneeze, my ears would turn inside out.
Here's a belief that went way beyond childhood - my grandpa once mentioned to me how odd and unrealistic he finds it when fictional characters dream, since in real life dreams are only memories. Surprised, I informed him that most people's dreams aren't memories at all. He's spent his whole life dreaming only about things that had really happened to him and lived more than 70 years not realizing it wasn't that way for everyone else.

Girls get over it we all fart. My boyfriend used to believe that girls never farted until he met me. He was very shocked the first time he heard me fart.
