When I was in Kindergarden, I had a friend that was black. She told me that during the summer, I would turn black and during the winter, she would turn white. I actually believed her.

My dad told me when I was little that if I kissed my elbow I would turn into a little boy. Of course it not only is physically impossible to kiss the tip of your elbow, but also to change your sex without surgery, but I was a kid, I did not know. I tried so hard to do that, but of course never succeeded.
When I was little, my sister told me that if I touched my belly button too much, it would unravel into my umbilical cord...i still dont touch it a lot. lol.
One day when I was in the first grade, the school nurse walked into the classroom and announced she was going to check our eyes. Keeping my head down and sinking lower and lower into my tiny desk, I feared for my sight. I thought she was going pop my eyeballs right out of my head and examine them with her bare scaley hands!
i was terribly afraid of eyes.
my older brother used to tell me that staring too long at the mirror would cause your eyes to pop out!
to this day.. i prefer not to stare at the mirror lolz
I have a red colored birthmark on my arm. When I was little, I asked my dad how I had recieved it. He told me that when I was even younger I had been eating and smeared some jelly on my arm. He had supposedly warned me to go wash it off before it stained, but I had not listened. As a result of not heeding his advice, I had a permanent jelly stain on my arm. I believed him.

I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.
i believed, after hearing a story about a girl on LSD, that you became black by being put in the oven as a baby.

i used to think that if i stuck my finger far enough in to my belly button, it would open up into my stomach. i wanted to test this, but was too afraid of my food falling out.

I used to believe that peoples ears grew so that when the world blew up we would be able to fly away.
I believed that you could pull your teeth out and put them back in because my me-maw (grandma) used to do it all the time to clean her false teeth. She would tell me that I could do it too. I believed her from when I was around 4 untill I was about 7. So I ended up spending hours in the bathroom trying to pull my teeth out.
I remember when I was about 5 years old and I wanted my mom to straighten my hair. Now being hispanic and having naturally curly hair this sometimes could be an all day process which could and would invlolve chemical relaxers. Well my mom says she would not because it took to long and she did not have the time. So I asked her to just give me a blowjob (thinking that was what you called the hair dryer)
when i was younger maybe around 4. i used to believe that an afro was a disease you got when you were older. my brother has a different type of hair than i do so his would be a 'fro and mine was just curly so i assumed since i hug around him all of the time i would eventually catch the disease. so i avoided him for a few weeks until i learned the truth
I used to believe that my belly button was a place to store my boogers for when i wanted a little delicacy late rin the day.
When I was around 10 I wanted to curl my hair, so I searched my mothers room for hair mousse. The only kind of mousse I could find was hair removing mousse. I just asumed that once it was mousse it would curl my hair so I put the whole bottle in my hair. Lets just say I will never make that mistake again.
When i was around 5 or 6, whenever i heard my bones crack, i used to think that my bones are actaully cracking and breaking inside my body and i would have hysterical fits about this and think that i might die and all my mom would do is laugh. One day that really pissed me off i said to her"You b*tch i'm dying and your laughin!"

I used to believe that if someone unscrewed my belly button, my butt would fall off
When I was little, I watched Reading Rainbow ALL THE TIME. I also lived a very sheltered life, our neighborhood being comprised entirely of retirement-aged white people. Since Lavar Burton was the only black person I'd really ever seen, I thought that all black people looked like him. I couldn't figure out how they were able to tell each other apart.
