when i was little, I used to believe that your eyeball could pop like a water balloon, and i was always afraid to touch it.
My parents and I are white. But, I have a mole completely covering my belly button. I always told my parents that I was half black. My mom would say..."yes...you are."(sarcastically) But I believed it for a long time!
I asked my dad (when he was naked after taking a bath) what his belly button was. He said that it was from where the Indian shot him with an arrow. It never occurred to me to ask where MY navel came from.
I used to believe that if you breathed in too hard your lungs would stick together and stay that way. At least that's what my older sister told me.

I used to believe that people who wore glasses were blind and could only see when they had their glasses on.
I used to believe in something called "foot suffocation"- where your foot falls off because it's been suffocated in a plastic bag for too long. I think a neighborhood boy convinced me of this...oddly, I never considered the fact that people wear shoes everyday without "foot suffocation" occurring!
I used to believe that the inside of my body looked like bologna.
My dad used to tell me and my sisters that if you unscrewed your belly button, you know, like with a screwdriver or something, that your butt would fall off. Sometimes I still think that...
"Bowl cuts" were actually called Bull Cuts. My aunt wanted my little brother to have a bowl cut in her wedding, only I didn't realize it was the word "bowl" until I saw Dumb & Dumberer.

My daughter is 4 and no matter how many times I tell her otherwise, she still thinks her boobies are called "paddles". I don't know where she got this concept.
