body parts

When I was little I used to believe that the reason old ladies had blue or purple hair was because it grew that way. I don't think my mum has ever laughed as hard as the day I adamantly told her Aunty Alice's hair grew purple and she revealed it was because it was dyed.

My little sister (by 2 years) believes that there are lots of tiny men in our body.She thinks that they wear little hard hats and dungarees and control all our bodily functions. She seems to think the same obout the toaster and the oven and the radio....?!

Remember Etch a Sketch?
Well, when I was about 4 years old, I was sitting on my dad's lap, playing with an Etch a Sketch. When I was finished with my design, I shook it to clear the picture, and hit my dad in the chin with the corner of the Etch a Sketch. He said "Ow, look what you did"!, and pointed at the cleft in his chin. I thought for the longest time that I had put a dent in my dad's chin!

My dad always told me that eating carrots made my eyesight better, especially my night vision. So I'd eat lots of carrots thinking I'd be able to see really well at night with infraorange vision coming out of my eyelids.

When I was about five your so, I used to think that your eyes could see to a certain point, then everything would be black. When you move, this "orb of darkness" would follow you, so you could still see. If you were farsighted, you had a big sphere. If you were near sighted, then you could only see about three or four feet in front of you, then there would be nothing but black. I wondered how nearsighted people could drive. Somehow, glasses had the ability to cut through this wall of black, and I could never figure out why farsighted people wore glasses.

Ok, I"ve got 1 4 u. My friend and I used to believe that if you had frekles all over your face (like we did) you had a potentiotial of being a millionare, but all your $ bills would have brown dots on them.

I used to have a wart on my hand which I thought was actually a potato growing there. So I called it my potato. I never did understand why people looked at me funny when I showed them my potato. I eventually had it removed, and thought it would be used to make potato chips. I kinda missed my potato.

when i was about 5, my big brother alex used to buy different cloured hair sprays. but i always thought if he sprayed some on my hair it would never, ever come out, so i would have to live my life with red, blue and green streaked hair. what i didn't know was it was temporary. so when alex asked me if i wanted my hair a different colour, i screamed and ran out of his room and told my mum that he was trying to make my hair blue and green and it would never come off!
But a few years later, i would buy my own cans of hair spray and do my hair lots of wacky colours!

My dad was always a rascist and a bit of a pervert. So one day when I was being breastfed (I was 3), my dad told me how chocolate milk comes out of black womens' breasts. My mom laughed so hard and then told me it was true.

Not far after that, I was having trouble sleeping. I told my parents and they warned me that I would get dark circles under my eyes. And then they told me that black people get would get white circles under their eyes.

I used to believe that it was okay to look directly at the sun, without sunglasses, on a Wednesday and it wouldn't harm your eyes

When I was about 5 I cut my eyelashes with a pair of scissors - my mother scolded me and told me that if I did that again my eyelashes would grow & grow really long .... That night I had a nightmare about re-cutting my eyelashes over and over again & I woke up crying. My mother comforted me saying " Mummy is sorry she lied to you, she will never lie to you again, eyelashes dont re-grow like that, I am sorry."

I used to think that "ass" meant "penis" for some reason. My best friend in 3rd grade told me that she used to have really long hair--"down to [her] ass". I was really confused and said, "You don't have an ass." She looked at me really strangely.

I used to believe that what ever eye color you had was the only color that you could see. (For example... If your eyes were blue you could only see the color blue, if your eyes were green you could only see the color green.) I could never understand why I could see all the colors. I would sometimes, just randomly, go up to my mom and ask her what color something was. (She has baby blue eyes) I was a strange child.

When I was in seventh grade, I had my first boyfriend. We were in science class one day, and I noticed that a strand of my hair had fallen out. He quickly took it and placed it on his head, then proceded to attempt to answer a difficult question, only to be devistated when he could not answer it correctly. I was a better student than he was, and he was convinced that putting a strand of someone else's hair on your head, you would gain their intelligence!

When I was little, I believed that the belly button was simply a second mouth that you used to eat foods you didn't like the taste of. I could never get mine to work, for some reason...

I used to ask my dad this: "Dad, are black people made out of chocolate?"
