I never knew that hair grew in areas besides your head, legs, and arms.
One day, as I'm on the toilet I notice hair growing down there. Not only did it scare me, I thought I was the only one in the world who had that problem.
When a boy gets a haircut, some of the hair falls into the collar of his shirt. If he doesn't take a shower within a certain amount of time after the haircut, he will be plagued with chest hair when he becomes a man.
I knew that both men and women grew hair in their armpits. I thought both sexes shaved. It's just that it was a rule that men's armpit hairs grow that much faster.
when i was little, i told my kindergarten teacher that my dad was not white, b/c in the summer he gets really tan and i always thought he was an indian. when my dad came in for a meet-the-teacher night, my teacher was confused.. hehe
In secound grade, everyone in my class had to make finger prints on a sheet of paper because we were studying differant kinds of fingerprints.(arch, whirl, loop) When my prints showed up on the paper, they weren't all the same.

I believed my dad when he said that he could see round corners.
When i was young, i used to think that babies were born by the mummy pressing her belly button when she wanted a child. I used to go around pressing womens belly buttons.
I use to think that if you open your belly button really wide you could see the inside of your stomach. The thought of that freaked me out so I never tried to see. I didnt realize the truth until I got older and figured it out by people telling me.
One day i had hurt my head really bad and ran in screaming to my mom. She asked me what was wrong, and I told her that i had hurt my 'Two-Head'. She asked me if I meant my four head, and I told her that i wasn't four yet. I still get teased about it to this day.
One day I asked my dad what a belly button was for and he told me it was for where a baby comes from. So for years I believed that when a woman was pregnant and the baby wanted to be born it woukld knock at the door (duh, ur belly button) and come wandering out (very tiny!) when you let it...
My dad used to tell me that if I untied the knot which was my belly button, I would fly across the room like a balloon. I think I actually attempted it once out of morbid curiosity to see if he was telling the truth!
When my sister and I were younger, I told her that if you are in water, and someone else put their finger in her belly button, she would blow up! She would scream and scream everytime we were at the pool and I would come at her with my finger pointed and ready to go.

When I was younger, my cousin was answering a question for my younger cousin on what color her hair was. I used to have light blonde hair but it had gotten darker. My cousin told the little one that her hair was blonde. I then asked what color mine was. She told me that my hair was "dirty blonde," which I thought she was saying that my hair wasn't as clean as other's hair was. I was so upset I started crying and ran into the house. My cousin had to sit me down and explain to me that "dirty blonde" was a color and that my hair was not dirty.
