When I was little I believed that your heart would beat because there was a little girl and a little boy inside with hammers trying to beat their way out. I knew that when you died that your heart stopped beating so I thought that that was when one of them got out. So I thought that the one that got out first was the next baby to be born.
Before I ever lost a baby tooth, I thought that when you did, you put it in an envelope and sent off to get your permanent one which would be sent to you in the mail and you just placed it in the hole in your gum. Thank God I came to my senses when someone told me about the Tooth Fairy!

I used to think that girls' anuses were green. I remember thinking that as late as high school.
My dad began balding in his twenties, so I've never known him with a full head of hair. Any time my brother or I would do something we weren't supposed to, he would tell us that's why he was bald. My favorite reason for his bald head was jumping on the furniture...
I always believed that if you poke your belly button too hard, it un-twists and splits your stomach and al your gutts fall out. I still believe this to this day :-S
When I was in elementary school I read a story about making wishes on loose eyelashes. I wanted to make lots of wishes so I pulled out my eyelashes so I could use them to make wishes. My mom had to take me to the doctor because I got little scabs on my eyelids from pulling my eyelashes out.

I believed that everyone had matching, symmetrical freckles on their kneecaps like I do, and that they served some important anatomical purpose.
I used to believe that my dentist used "sleepy juice" so it wouldn't hurt when he pulled a tooth. People used to say that their dentist used a needle, and I would tell them that mine didn't. Boy was I fooled.

I used to think that, if I stared at the sun, I wouldn't have to squint when I got older, so I wouldn't buy wrinkle creams for my face. I thought that eye doctors just wanted you to think that starring at the sun would damage your eyes.
I used to believe that fat/skin was cheese and you could just cut it off.
I used to believe that whatever a lady's hair color was when she was pregnant would be the color of the baby's hair. I planned on dying my hair so that I could have blond, brunette, and redhead children.
I used to believe that when my mom removed her glasses she was totally blind. Imagine my horror each time she took them off while driving and asked me to clean them! My hands never moved so fast!

My mom would say if we kept crying our eyes would get smaller and smaller until we didn't have anymore!
i used to believe that people started from their birth-marks. Whereever your birth mark was is where you started as a baby and grew out from that point. I "started at my left knee!"
My mother took my brother to the grocery store with her. He saw an african-american person for the first time and excitedly pointed out "Look! A chocolate person!"
When I was little I used to think that your belly button had an imaginary cord that went up to heaven and God had a remote control connected to it. I thought that that was how God made us do things.
