Once when I was about 3 or 4 my dad handed me the plug for an electric fan. I "plugged" it into my bellybutton and a breeze came through the window causing the fan to spin. For about a year afterwards I thought my bellybutton could produce electricity.

I used to think people were made of dirt and mayonnaise. I kind of rememeber picking this up at church.
my little cousin thought that when people hurt your feelings, it was an actual body part!i remember when her sister hit their dog, she said" mariah hit aspen right in the feelings"!! it was soo cute though! she was only 4 years old!
i used to think that when u had a baby, it would come out of your belly button!
I thought that a "birth mark" was the first place on your body that was born.
My birthmark is on the back of my head but my older sister's is on the inside of her knee and I could never figure out how THAT part of her could come out of my mom first.
I had injured my knee badly when I was little. When it was open and bleeding, I noticed what I now know was probably a ligament and some other ooky stuff in there.
In front of the whole family when I was about 9 or so, I was recreating what the wound looked like and I said, "It looked like I had testicles in there." I meant to say "tentacles" b/c of all the weird freaky stuff. Well, the whole family just roared and I sat there saying, "what? what? what?!"
How silly.
I used to believe that the only body in your body was your knee bone. That was probably because I was always falling over and grazing it!
I used to belive that our blood wasnt carried by veins and arteries. i thought that we were just filled up with blood like milk in a carton. And the blood just stayed there, it didnt move. I thought all our organs were floating in our blood too.
When i was little my friend told me that her mum died because she kept picking her belly button and if u poke your navel you get cancer .. i have never poked my navel since.
When I was four I had realy long blonde hair but really hated having it brushed. My mom would say "keep still while I brush your hair or it will become a birds nest". For years I was terrified when I bird flew near me as I thought they would lay eggs in my hair.
For some reason, for the longest time I believed that my left leg was totally empty, except for the few things needed to survive. So if I ever got stranded, somehow my left leg would save me...I think it all started as a joke that my dad played on me, but I believed it for a very long time.
I used to believe that if I closed my eyes my mum couldn't see me anymore. I was always running around blind but hidden...
When I was a kid,I(for some strange reason) thought that my bellybutton was the knot that held my skin on.I thought that if the knot broke,or if I got a cut on my bellybutton,that skin'd pop right off.Of course I found out how stuid I was later,and fortunately I did'nt show anyone how stupid I actually was by speaking of the idea....a6t least until now..heh.

I remember telling my grandma when I was little that I wanted to get my hair cut longer. I was shocked when she told me that hair can only be cut shorter.
my friend megan has always provided me with laughs-- one day last year she came up to me, and wanted my opinion on something. she couldn't remember if she dreamed this or was taught this early-on in school... she thought that behind our eyes we had "eye sacks" that collected everything that was in our eyes...like the goop and stuff. she couldn't answer when i asked what happened when the "sack" got full!
also, until the middle of freshman year in high school, megan was CONVINCED that unicorns actually existed at one point, and they just went extinct or something!
i used to believe that if you shave your head you could grow any type of hair like curly
I used to believe that your memories were kept in a file drawer in your chest. Grown-ups could always tell stories about a long time ago because they knew how to open their memory drawers. I couldn't find my handle, so I didn't have as many memories.....Funny, I still haven't found my handle and I still forget all kinds of tings...........

when I was young, I heard that blood had iron in it. I thought blood was red because it was rusty.
When I was little my mom told me that 'thousand island salad dressing' was made by taking the belly button lint out of people's belly buttons on an island far away.
