When I was a little girl, about 5 I guess, my parents told me that some day I'd grow adult teeth, permanent ones. I thought these teeth would grow in beside my baby teeth, and I'd have two sets in my mouth at the same time.

My grandad told me that ears were made of bacon rashers. I believed him, and wondered why his 'bacon rashers' had grown to such a huge size.
When I was young, I thought that black people had a horrible skin affliction. I thought I would slowly turn black if I touched them, and so I avoided them like the plague until I was about 7 years old.

i have always had a very vivid imagination. you know those crusty little eye boogers? i used to believe that they were tiny letters sent to me by angels...i would always try to hold onto them as long as possible, maybe even put them in my pocket. i remember crying once because i lost one; i was quite convinced that it was sent to me by my grandmother.

When I was little I used to think that your parents could decide what sex you were by how close they they the unbilical* cord.
When my daughter was small she had some skin peeling on her feet, so I told her that she was growing out of her skin because she was getting bigger.
One day my husband and I came home and she was sitting on the couch peeling at her feet, and she said "Look Mom, I can't believe I'm still growing" She was 18!!!!!!!!!

When I was little, I thought that if I slept with socks on, my toes would grow together.
When I was youngre, my brother said if you wore socks all the time, it would make your hair grow faster cause the hair that should grow on your feet would push out onto your head.
So I ended up making sure I wore socks all the time, because I didn't want foot hair!
I used to think that babies came out of your bellybutton :) hahaha
my dad used to tell me that if i was bad he would unscrew my bellybutton and my legs would fall off.
I used to think a diaphragm was a disposable bone.
I knew you could breathe through it and one day I noticed that a TV character found one in her bag.
When I was little I told my great-grand mother that if she spent less time in the tub she wouldn't be so pruny. Later I find out that it was just wrinkles!
I was told recently that when i was a wee little girlie [about 6] i tried to rub the 'dirt' off of a black friends skin.How stupid.
once my mom and a friend of hers were suntanning with their arms up behind their heads and I made a connection between their not-too-recently shaved armpits and the radio next to them.I thought that women had speakers there since I saw a resemblance.I still wonder...
When I was little I thought that permanent markers would stay forever on your skin too. So one day I took a yellow highlighter (they were shaped the same as permanent markers, so I thought they were the same) and I decided to make a small mark on my jaw. Now WHY, if I thought it would be there forever, would I do that? I have no clue. But I was really worried for days after.
