When I was younger my mum told me I was 'double-jointed' like a lot of my family, I took this as being some sort of special power where I could bend my fingers or elbows or knees the other way, I always tried really hard and couldn't do it so I thought my mum was a liar!
I used to believe that the sound of my heart thudding in my head was the king and queen (of what I don't know) chasing me. This scared me for some reason, making the thudding of my heart go faster and faster which convinced me that they were about to catch me. Wonder I didn't have a heart attack at age 4.

when I was 3 I use to belive when you drank somthing it would go to your right leg, and when you ate somthing it would go to your left leg. But I never thought about how it came out?

As a toddler i was so aggressively against the idea of toilet training that my parents thought i had something wrong with me. Anyway i was at the doctor's once and he tried to explain to me when i was 3 why i couldn't just hold it in forever like i said i was going to . I came out believing that my left buttock was full of air and my right buttock was full of poop . If i held it in for too long my right buttock would grow so that nothing could get past it.
That scared me!

As a kid I was told that a spoonful of peanut butter would cure hicups by somehow sticking to your ...uhhh lungs? It wasn't until fourteen when I automaticly went for a spoonful of peanut butter-placebo that I realized my leap in logic.

When I was little I used to chew all food using only one side of my mouth at a time because I thought if I used both sides I would choke when I swallowed the food.
I used to believe there was something seriously wrong with me because I would have nightmares that all my teeth were falling out. After discussing this with several friends over the years, I know this is a common nightmare of anyone who grinds their teeth while they are sleeping.

As a teenager I read way too many books about ESP. For years I thought there were actually people walking around who could read my mind, every thought, just as I was thinking it. I was extremely paranoid.

My Dad used to tell me to go outside the room where he couldn't see me and to hold one hand in the air and another one down by my side. After a few minutes he'd tell me to come back in the room. He would look at my hands, then look at my elbows and tell me which one I had held up! I thought he could see through walls!!! I finally figured out that the hand being held up was paler than the one by my side.
I used to think that if I tried hard enough I would be able to see around corners. I tried especially hard when I was practicing piano in the hope that I'd be able to see around the corner and be able to watch tv!
I used to believe…
when I was young, I used to think there were these tiny creatures inside your bum, that were like miners, that shoveled poo, down this hole. There would be this siren that would go off on this machene that would open the hole. That's how i thought we pooed. I also used to think, that when you constipate, yourself, the poo would build up, and the little creatures, would have go under a red alert.

Someone else had a VERY similar belief.
My favourite book series of all time is Animorphs. In the first book, five kids go through an abbandonned construction site and encounter an alien called an Andalite who gives them the power to become any animal they touch.
Me and a friend thought that we could do that if we believe Animorphs was real. We tried to "Aquire" the DNA of different animals and then morph into them.
When that did'nt work, we thoguth we had to find an abbandoned constuction site and go there in the middle of the night to come in contact with the "Andalite".
Also, in the book series, there were evil aliens called yeerks that took over people's bodies. Every time someone acter weird, we thought they were being controlled by yeerks.
One more thing, we were afraid to squash bugs, because we thought they were animorphs.

When I was little, I was deathly afraid of the hospital. so one night, i broke my finger. when my mom said we would have to go to the hospital. I begged and cried, and said I felt better. the only way my sisters could convince me to go there was saying that Rachel from Friends was there, having a baby. so i always thought that in a hospital, tv personalities were having there babies at my hospital. After all, Mel Gibson and Pee Wee Hermon were born there.

When I was little, I was disappointed to see that my pee was yellow. I thought pee came in different colors and I wanted a different color.
I used to think that poop came from the solid food that you ate, and the pee came from water or any other type of liquid. So if i didnt drink anything all day all I would need to do was go poop. hahahaha

When I was about 4, I used to be terrified if my stomach hurt, because I was convinced that it was because there was a baby in my stomach.
i used to believe that my body had two pipes running from my mouth, one down to me front bottom & the other to me back bottom [as i would call them! ] So when i'd choke on my food & my mum would say that its gone down the wrong hole i would really think that i would poo from me front bottom or wee from me back bottom! I remember being so confused & dissapointed when this never happened!

When i was younger i believed, one day i'm gonna fly, all i have to do, is get a whole bunch of feathers, and glue them to cardboard, and then stick it to my arms, and then i'd somehow fly.

Once, my mom said that if you would eat like a little tiny peice of paper, a book would grow inside of you. I have believed that for a very long time... but not anymore.
