My sister in law just reaveled to me that when she was little she believed that there was a golden screw in your belly button and if you unscrewed it your butt would fall off
When my brother was about 4 years old I told him there was a tribe of aborigines who hunted people for their big toes because there was poison in the toe that they used to tip their spears. He insisted on wearing his shoes to bed for a while after that.
I USED TO BELIEVE THAT IF YOU STARED AT A PERSON, THEY COULD NOT TELL YOU WERE STARING AT THEM. PRETTY STUPID
When I was a kid, I thought that belly-buttons on girls were really their future babies, and they grew out of their stomach when the girl was old enough to have children.
When I was about 3 my skin started to peal on the bottom of my feet and my older sister took the opertunity to pick on me. She told be that I was turning into a lizard and that if I pealed the skin myself it would only speed up the mutation. I was so scared that I tried to tape my skin back together. It didn't work.
When I was in the 4th grade my teacher was calling on me in class and I rolled my eyes at her (appearently, I don't remember it). She got angry and said "Don't you roll your eyes at me!" At the time, I didn't know what 'rolling one's eyes meant' so I replied quite insistently "I'm not rolling my eyes!" I began to move my eyes around in a clockwise fashion. "This is rolling your eyes!"
I know, however, what rolling one's eyes means now.

My mother told me that the tooth fairy would only come if I brushed my teeth.
I had this weird muscle in my eye, not allowing it to look up, as in the top of my head. All other directions were great, but it wouldn't go up. I would send both eyes in different directions with it and scare my classmates until one day my grandmother yelled at me for it, saying that they would stick that way forever.
Remember drawing all over yourself as a kid? My aunt told me that the ink would get me sick and pencil lead wouldgive me lead poisoning and would kill me.
You know when your older sibling piches your nose and says "i got your nose!!!" well when i was 5 my sisiter did that to me once, and i started to sufficte. She "gave me back my nose" and asked me why did you do that? You scared me! I said "You had my nose i can't breath without it!"
i used to believe that when people had children, the babies came out through their belly buttons so when I saw my best friends belly button was "an outie" (it didn't go in the way) I thought she would never be able to have a baby! She was worried sick!
when i was little i used to belive that the belly button was a whole in your body and so i was terrified of having baths because thought water would get inside me through my belly button

When i was 2 or 3 i used to think that babies came out of your bellybutton so i would put tape of my bellybutton so i wouldn't have a baby.
For awhile, I went without realizing that people *myself included!* blinked. It just didn't occur to me, until one day I noticed my aunt blinking, and asked if she was tired. She told me she was blinking, and I was so confused! lol. Afterwards, I promised i'd make a concious effort to blink, even though I did it naturally anyway. :-P
I used to believe that I had a carekeeper in my stomach. Everey time I ate, he took care of the food and put it in jars and then storaged it in shelves down there...I could really see him, he wore a hat, had a big belly, he had a mustasch and he yorned when he got hungry. I don´t know why I believed in such nonsens. No one told me, I just made it up my self.
Now days I know it´s not true....
My 4 year-old cousin thinks that any area of your head above your eyes(both internal and external) is your brain, so when she saw that I had a small scar on my forehead, she thought my brain had split open and she was very upset.
i used to believe that if you rolled your eyes back and someone hit you on your back your eyes would stay like that forever..so every time i rolled my eyes back i would make sure no one was behind me..wait..is that true?
