body parts

I have to give credit to my 3 year old daughter for this one.

I was in a restroom stall with her at a department store, making sure she took care of business and didn't play around. As she was finishing up and I was gathering our things, I failed to notice her peering under the wall into the stall next to us. She asked me "Mom, is this a girls' bathroom or a boys' bathroom?" Without even thinking, I replied that it was a girl's restroom. She then proceeded to ask. loudly, "Why does that lady have all that hair on her legs like Daddy?" I wanted to flush myself down the toilet.

after watching cartoons i was convinced that we all had outlines....i mean....if we didnt have outlines....what could possibly keep all our organs in right? ;) i searched for my outline...i was almost convinced that i found my outline :D

Upon the birth of our youngest daughter, we found she had been born with an extremely large, "Hemangioma/Strawberry-type, Birth Mark." Because of it's extraordinary size, I had told my daughter (when she was about 2), that all babies born with Birth Marks had been kissed by an Angel and that explained why they had them, but that in Her case, she had been "kissed by an entire Host of Angels!" She's 13 today, and still believes this is true. (Or so she says she does!) *smile

When I was little I used to think that newborn babies came out of the Mommy's bellybutton. Because the babies had a piece of the umbilical cord on their bellybutton it made perfect sense to my little person mind.

Once when I was about 7 I hit my head on a porcelain sink bottom.....my mom ran in and screamed "oh, you split your head open!".....forever I was petrified my head would split in half and I would die.

I had a cruel older cousin who threatened that she could unravel my belly button with her finger and I would fly around the room like a deflated balloon. She convinced me that she had seen it happen at school, and she tortured me with the threat for years. I never asked mom if it could really be done for fear that she would find out and follow through with it!

I used to beleive that my freckles were from being out in the rain- My grandpa told me the rain rusted! I would scrub my face dry after being out in the rain, yet the freckles continued...

i used to think, up until i was about 12 that the blind spot in have in your car was an actual spot in your eye that you coulnd't see out of. i found out when my neighbor's mom was talking about how she coulnd't see a car because of her 'blind spot' and i told her i didnt have one... hehe

i used to believe that babies were dumb because their heads were only filled with hair. as they grew hair it made more room for things to be learned, and by the time they got to be old people and balding, it was because they had finally pushed all the hair out by totally filling thier heads with things learned.

When I was little, my mom had a fall, kind of like a small wig or hair extentions, and she kept it in a drawer. I thought it was a mongoose and was completely terrified of it. I was a handful and my older sister watched me everyday while mom was at work. If I got too out of hand, my sister would threaten to get the mongoose out of the drawer. I would scream and cry and beg her not too. After the threat, I was always good as gold. It still freaks me out.

when i was little i used to think that getting on your nerves was standing on something called a nerve and when someone told me i was getting on their nerves i would say " no im not im off".

WHen I was really young, about 3 or 4, my grandfather told me that how people get their buttcracks was the doctor had to sit a baby on an ax right after it was born. I told people that up until I was about 8 years old!

I thought men with moustaches were very brave. Since the moustache hair came directly out of thier nostrials, they had a more difficult time breathing than a man with no facial hair. Beards stayed in place with Elmer's glue.

i used to believe that when u lost ur teeth the toothfairy would come...like any other kid belived...but then i thought that the tooth fairy would put all your teeth in a statue with no teeth, and when the statue was full of teeth, a baby would be born with your teeth!

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I overheard my mother mention 'colored people'. I thought that she meant people who were green, blue, purple, etc. I'd never seen anyone like that, so I was looking forward to seeing one someday. Of course, in school, I had plenty of black classmates, but it never occured to me to think of them as 'colored'.

When I was young I used to watch my mother put in her contacts and I was sure that if she wore her contacts and glasses at the same time, she could see through walls.
