body parts

I used to believe that the sou; us an actual part of your body, situated in your neck, and that's why people often die when they break their neck.

I used to believe that if i took a screw driver and unscrewed my belly button, by butt would fall off. It wasn;t until i dared my brother to try it 4 years later that i finally stopped believing it.

I used to believe that the bone on my wrist was a tumor. I discovered it there when I was in first grade and was afraid to tell the teacher, afraid I had cancer.

The very first time when I was old enough to use the toilet myself to do the "number 2", I looked at my hips and they were so huge that I thought there was a baby inside each of my hips!

I used to believe that if you pushed on my belly button my bum would fall off.

when i was about 12 i began going through puberty and i though that when the little hairs down there started growing in that i was turning into a man. I thought only men were hairy. in addition i thought that i was going to hell cause i still liked boys and my mother said gay men went to hell.

When I was a little kid my sister told me that if someone had Pink Eye, if I looked at them then I would catch it. Well, I believed her and one day she had Pink Eye and I wouldn't look at her all day long.

when i was younger, i used to believe that your lungs were like trampolines and that people had to jump up and down to make you breathe. I felt very sorry for them and would try to hold my breath for as long as possible to give them a rest. It was only until real biology lessons that i learnt the truth.

My son could never understand how I knew what he was doing when my back was turned (if it was naughty) and i told him that when mummys had babies they grew a second pair of "back eyes". From the age of three until almost five he would keep trying to find them.

once when i was about three, i was having a temper tantrum in my room and kicked my shoes off. the skin on the bottom of my feet were peeling, and i was freaked out because i thought i broke my foot.

My little 4 year old niece believes that cats come into her bedroom at night, chew some gum and stick it into her hair, which is why she always has knots in it, poor baby

As a small child, I believed that a second set of arms would grow from one's 'underarm.' As I grew up and noticed that no one had two sets of arms, I was convinced that the second pair must grow very quickly and that first pair would fall off in my sleep and disappear.

When I read <i>What's Happening to Me</i>, a book written for kids on what happens during puberty, I thought that the name for the hair that grew under your arms and on your privates was called "public" hair. I couldn't, for the life in me, figure out why it was called public hair, when it was very clearly supposed to be private.

I used to think that everybody's hair was black and if you had blond hair, you dyed your hair.

I used to think you had to stick those pins that you stick in your hat through your scalp. That's weird.

I used to believe women stuck tampons in their belly buttons when they got pregnant so the baby wouldn't bleed or come out of it.
