body parts

My eyes are brown and when I was 4 or 5 I wanted to have blue eyes. My aunt told me once that my eyes would only turn blue if I drank orange juice everyday. I hated it, but I made an effort. Nowadays I'm 24 and my eyes are still brown.

when my mom was in her colledge years she had hair till her knees, which were always tied in an elegant plait. so one day, while working, se felt a slight tug. she turns around to see the boy sitting behind her cleaning his shoes with it. as a retort all she cud think of doing was picking up her drawing board and hitting it on his head. anytime now that we meet that uncle of ours he tells us that he seriously belived very beutiful hair was just for cleaning shoes!!

when i was young i used to believe that if i pull my belly button my skin wil fall of, so i tried for years to do it and when i sucseeded nothing hapend i only had an outie insted of an innie!!!

When I was a little girl my Mum always told us she had spare arms and legs under the bed - so that if we ever got broken she could fix us!! I believed that until I was about 10 years old!!! She doesn't change either - my son wholeheartedly believes in fairies and elves and that they live in the wood - and that Haybales wrapped in coloured plastic in the fields are dinosaur eggs!!!! She is a wonderfully imaginative Mum.

When I was very young, my mother was yelling furiously at my older brother. He was sitting on the couch eating popcorn, ignoring her. She grew increasingly upset, and finally shouted, "You eat my heart out!" I thought the popcorn was my mother's heart.

The first time I saw a black person (I was about 3), I thought he was made of chocolate.

When I was 8 or 9 my grandmother told me if I wore a baseball cap (which I was doing all summer), I would lose all my hair. I like that baseball cap so much I took my chances (and still have most of my hair).

My Dad always told me that when you lost a tooth, if you did'nt stick your tongue in the hole, a GOLD tooth would grow in instead of a regular one. Never could keep my tongue out of there though.

Before we grew up, we thought that by pricking ordinary dimples that grow on your cheeks, we'd get good luck. we done it to everyone especially sanj. although our luck never changed, it sure did hurt.

When I was 5/6, I asked mom why dad was bald. Dad told me his hair blew away in a tornado. Everytime I watch the Wizard of Oz, I think of my dad!

I used to think that if I played with my belly button too much, it'd come untied and all my skin would fall off.

Every woman I looked at when I was little had their ears covered with their hear. I used to beleive all woman had no ears at all. That's why they covered them with their hair as they were embarrassed at not having ears.
I was quite surprised when I first saw a woman with ears!!!!!!!!!!

When I was little, I had and outtie belly button. Well, my brother and my mom both told me constantly that I was a Cabbage Patch Kid, and that they had found me under a leaf of lettuce.

My parents used to have a best friend, named Jason. (And he still is. Great guy.) When my sister and I were young, aparently, he told us that his moustache was a caterpiller. Then he would wiggle it around, and say that his eye brows were caterpillers too, making them wiggle as well. Hence forth, my sister and I have always thought of him as "the caterpiller man".

i used to believe that the reason my granddad wore glasses was all down to the teaspoon he left in his cup of tea. I asked him one day, i was about 4 at the time, why he wore glasses and he said that it was because the teaspoon he always left in his cup of tea when he was drinking it always poked him in the eye!!!! I only found out about 4 days ago that it wasn't actually true, and i'm 25 now!!!!

I guess when I was really little, I hadn't seen too many black people. My dad invited a friend of his for dinner who was black. I guess I just assumed he was dirty and told him he needed to wash his hands. He understood, laughed, and said he had been trying to wash it off for years.
