My 3 year old son convinced and 8 year old boy that his arm had been cut off and grew back....

When I was younger I thought I made up a new way to tickle someone--by tickling their stomach.

I used to believe that little gnomes, like David the Gnome, lived inside us and the gnomes used advanced systems of levers,pulleys,cogs, and gears to control our movements ...eventually the idea of gnomes was replaced with the belief that little Mario men lived inside me.

I was always a very talkative young girl, and one day my dad told me that I would lose my voice if I kept talking so much. So, I believed that everyones voice boxes would run out eventually, like the life of a battery - it's limited. I used to just sit down sometimes and refuse to talk, in the hope of recharging my voice box.

i used to believe that if u cried. or started getting emotional u were broken and that u couldn't be fixed. i didn't understand those were emotions.

I thought if you broke up with someone you could never get back together again

I believed that hiccoughs were caused by a little elf. The elf traveled around the world giving people hiccoughs. Whenever I had the hiccoughs, I thought the elf was sitting on my shoulder. He would stay with me for a little while, and then move on to give the hiccoughs to someone else.

When I was about 4 or 5 I believed that when my stomach was growling, it was angry with me, and it would stay angry until I gave it food. It really made me nervous, so I would always try to eat something right away.

I used to think that when you hiccupped, someone in your stomach was ringing a bell to let you know they needed more water to get a bath, and that's why they call it a belly too! Man was I strange.

This isn't actually one of mine, but I thought it was great. When my mother was a girl, she had (and still does) the ability to shoot a tiny stream of spit between her teeth. Apparently my grandfather was not amused since he told her that the "acid" in her saliva would melt holes in the upholstry of their car.

If you hung upsides down, your liver would turn over.

When I was little i used to think that the whole human body had little people in it, doing all the work, like really small people. That used to run 'round giving oxygen to the people in the muscles and the brain people telling the other people in various body parts what to do. Aswell as people in the stomach ripping everything up and dividing the good stuff to the bad stuff, wasn't until i learnt about the proper functions, i sat there thinking "but what about the little people?"

I used to think that the noises my stomach were from little people in my stomach talking to eachother.

when i was younger about 5 yrs old i used to think that there was little people inside your body who controlled you! a bit weird do u think?

When I was 5 or so, my much-older brother convinced me that if you ate the core of an apple and swallowed the pips, a tree would grow in your belly and grow out of your belly-button.
Needless to say I was always sure to throw the pips away.

I was told when I was 6 that people don't grow BRAIN before 12 years old ! I believed it untill I was 10 ! :)

When I saw a scuba diver on tv I started to believe that our lungs were some kind of tanks filled with a certain amount of oxigen. Very ttime you breath, you use it. Eventually, when all is used, you die!

After I figured this out, I started breathing very "economicly" to live longer, resulting in very unpleasant fealing in my body;)

I had a very happy childhood, but believed that if I cried in bed on a Saturday night, it would be bad luck for the coming week.

In order to get me and my older brother to "cover our mouths when we sneezed," our mother told us that "the germs from a sneeze travel all over the world within one second." My brother and I spent the next several days faking sneezes, after which we would hollar out "ONE!" Finally, we were told to knock it off!
