I used to beleive that blankets makes us warm by giving heat.When my brother, who is a doctor told me our body's heat makes us worm, I didn't beleive him until 10.
When I was growing up, my sister was friends with the two girls who lived next door. I always thought that the two girls weren't related to each other because it looked like they had two different mothers. It turned out that they had the same mother, she just looked different to me in the morning because she hadn't put her make-up on. A little eye-shadow makes a difference, I guess.

When I was little, up until I was about 13, I used to think that "ovaries" were in your eyes.
My brother once said to my mom, "I know the difference between boys and girls...boys heads are round and girls heads are funny shaped." He thought that because my moms hair was puffy and made her head look like a different shape if you were sitting in the backseat behind her and didnt know better.
Until I was about 10, I was convinced that people put contact lenses into the back of their eyes.... I was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything people told me... but now I wear contacts.. so obviously I know that they don't go in the back now!
once my family was on a really long car trip. so my brother was bored and i guess he wanted to mess with my head. so he told me,
"Hey, did u kno that when i was in mommy's tummy, i crawled out thru her belly-button and-"
being the smart seven-year-old i was, i immeaditly said, "Babies cant crawl out thru their mommy's belly buttons. Itz not possible."
"Yes it is. I was a really small baby, member? and im really smart. Anyway,I crawled out thru her belly, and i snuck on a plane and went to Hawaii and had sooo much fun and then...uh...i went to a football game but-
"Wait, were you invisible?"
"Nooooooo. ur not listening! i was just really really small, see? and so i just went and did all these things and then i just went back in mommy's tummy in time to get borned."
"oooooooo. right."
Im sure my parents were cracking up in the front seat.
this may sound weird, but at the time it seemed rational.
so i totally believed him.
but what's really sad is that i am TWO YEARS OLDER THAN HIM!
i guess older doesnt always mean ur wiser.
god i was so gullible.
when i was little i thought that when i went swimming and my hair pated down i thought that it ment that my hair was growing super fast and i wouldnt go into the water for a while cause i thought that since girls had long hair that if i let my hair grow to long then id become a girl and my brothers were cruel anough to play along with this silly little thing
I used to believe that the wax in your ears was bunny poo, and there were bunnys living in your ears.
Up until I was about 15 I believed that my Grandfather's hair was bleached white by acid rain. I still can't go out in the rain without feeling paranoid (I have dark brown hair, and I'd like to keep it that way).

when i was 6-7,my mom told me that if we tense our muscle where it is to be injected, the needle breaks and enters into bloodstream and reaches our heart and can cause death. now i m in nursing course, only to find out the truth that tensed muscle can hardly let the needle to go in the muscle.
I used to believe the lighter colored half-circles at the base of each fingernail was the next nail, underneath the first, waiting to grow out and force the top nail off.
My Grandfather used to tell all of us that we had a chicken painted on our bellies and it all wore off but its bum, thus explaining the belly-button
When i was little i used to believe that my belly button was called a telly button, so i would talk to it and it would talk back to me.
