body parts

When I was younger, my mother told me that she had to go over and color my grandmother's hair, and that I couldn't go. I was desperate to be involved, so i got out my box of Crayolas and asked my mom, "Now can I go? I can help color grandma's hair!".

When I was in kindergarten my friend told me that your belly button was where the doctor tied a knot when he cut your umbiblical cord. She also told me that if you itched it too much you'd come untied and all your guts would spill everywhere and you'd die. Needless to say, I never touched my belly button after that.

When I was 6yrs. old. I ask my mom "Why some of your hair is white ? " My mom replied "When you do something bad one of my hair goes white". I replied " How come ? Grandma's hair are all white ? ".

My friend and I told her little sister that her belly button was where her parent blew her up and tied the knot. Her sister was mortified and ran and asked her mom....

I used to believe that if you unscrewed your belly button (which of course you could do...?)... that you bum would fall off!!

I used to belive that if you forgot to clean your teeth all your teeth would fall out.

When I was little I was in a car accident. My intestines were severed, and they needed to drain stuffs from me. So I was sliced open. There is a scar on my stomach that looks a little bit like a belly button. The doctors told me it was a second one, in case the other one fell off. I definately believed them. For a long time.

When I was young my cousins told me that when you had an ear ache, it was because there was an earwig inside of your ear. I had always had problems with my ears, and still do, so that scared me. Especially when one of my youngers brothers friends actually HAD had one in their ear as a baby.

I'm still scared of earwigs to this day, although I know they are not in my ears!

I thought "body" meant "butt". My friend and I would giggle every time they said "body" on the news. Now that I think of it, I'm sure that was quite disturbing to our parents since the word "body" is usually used on the news to speak of a dead body.

i would tell all my nephews and god sons.... that if they didn't leave their private parts alone that they would fall off. and that is how little girls were made. and i would ask them do you want to be like mommy and me? they would start crying.... but they stopped playing with them selves.

I have a birthmark right at the middle of the sole of my left foot. For some reason, I used to believe that everyone had one there.

When I was something like 10 years old I happened to see the sole of my friend's foot and was quite flabbergasted because she didn't have one.

Mom and Dad liked to play this little game with me where she would be on one side of my head, and he would be on the other side. Then they would look through my ears like a keyhole to see each other on the other side. "Oh, yes, I can see you," they'd say. "Ah, there you are!"

Neither of them would let me look through THEIR ears.

I was blown away. But I could never seem to see light on the other side of someone else's ear.

I used to believe that if someone squirted water directly into your bellybutton,say with a water gun, you would die.

My mother would get us girls to cross our legs together when we were sitting down (she didn't like us having our legs splayed apart - cuz our undies showed!) by telling us "rats will be attracted to you and crawl up" if you didn't keep your legs closed!

When I was little my Aunt who was a hairdresser told me that the hair on the floor would cut my feet so I shouldn't walk on it. I believed this far into my teen years.

When I was little, my uncle warned me that my leg would fall off if I untwisted my belly button. I said, "It will not!" but then later, when I was alone, I carefully tried to untwist my belly button to see which leg would fall off.
