As a small child in the early seventies; I wondered what color my eylids would be when I grew up. My mom's were always green and my aunt's were always blue. I didn't understand the concept of makeup until I got into my Mom's makeup drawer and found the eye shadow.

I used to belive that our body was functioned by little robots inside us, and we were like factories. That was, until I went to secondary school.

As a child a, I remeber my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles telling me that if I crossed my eyes that that one day they could get stuck that away. They also said that it was permenant unless a horse was going to kick me.
When I was little,I used to believe that baby's came out of the mother's belly button. When I got to see how big they were once they were born,that belief went right out the window.
I had my tonsils taken out when I was about 4. "Tonsils" somehow sounded likes "toes" to be and I got the idea that tonsils were located in your toes. Then I was told that they would be going in through my mouth to remove the tonsils and I thought they'd use a long tool to reach all the way down through my body to remove the tonsils from my toes.
You know when the sun goes behind a cloud and it suddenly turns darker? Well, I used to believe that this only happened when I closed my eyes. Therefore, when I was sleepy and blinked a lot it would be getting darker, and when I went to sleep it would go completely dark.

When I was little, I had tiny toes and beleived that ducks mistook them for kernels of corn and eat them.
When I was little, my younger sister was eating a peppermint and kept taking it out of her mouth and puttingit back in. Well her fingers got all sticky so my mom gave her a kleenex to wipe it off with. The kleenex stuck to her fingers and she thought the skin was coming off of her hands!
As a young child I always thought the umbilical cord of the baby was attached to the mother's belly button from the inside. and the mom's belly button doubled as a peek hole for the baby.. kids heh...

I thought that people were filled with air and that if you "untied" your bellybutton you would deflate and fly around the room(like a ballon does) or pop.
i used to think i was the only person who had a tongue. then i didn't want anyone to find out i had a tongue because then they might think i was weird. so when i would speak i'd be careful not to open my mouth too much.
Mum told me when I was little, that my belly-button held my bum on. she'd pretend to unscrew it and tell me my bum was getting looser. I used to run around the house screaming and clutching my bum! so cruel!
When I was young, like 4 or 5, I could see what I thought were a whole bunch of little dots. In elementary school we learned some basic stuff about atoms and cells and since everything was made up of them and my teacher said they were too small to be seen w/o a microscope, I truely believed that I was the only one in the world who could see atoms and cells. Turns out i needed glasses. Go figure.

i used to believe that when you did the splits your legs would fall off.
Sometime around my gradeschool years, I remember learning a really neat trick that was (for lack of a better word,) popular. I don't quite remember all of the details, but it was something to the effect of having someone close his/her eyes and look downward for a while, then think of a number between 1 and 3 (inclusive), have them open their eyes and look upward. Then, by looking closely at the bottom part of their eyes, there would be either 1, 2 or 3 veins prominent, depending on which number they had been thinking of. Personally, I always found this fascinating, but as far as I can tell now, it either doesn't really work, or it only works with kids...
i used to think i had 2 noses!
When i was younger a boy at school told me that if u unscrew ur belly button ur ass will fall off!! I told my older brother and he told me it wasnt true!
When I was younger I use to belief that I could cut off my big toe and it would grow back. That's why it was bigger then the rest of my toes.
