body parts

When I was three, my uncle said that if I pressed my nose, it would turn into a button. I believed him and never touched my nose... Then one day, my dad said it wasn't true and pushed my nose really hard. I cried for nearly an hour because I thought it had turn into a button... the only thing that made me stop was when my sister showed me her mirror!

My dad used to tell me that if I unscrewed my belly button that my butt would fall off (as I had an annoying little habit of sticking my finger in my belly button and twisting it around)

One day when I was 7 I was at work with my dad and I was outside with a pencil poking a spider web with it and dad came out to say lets go home he was done. I got in the truck and had the end of the pencil in my mouth and remembered where I had it at first and told my dad and he told me that spider webs will put hair on my chest for days after that I was always checking cause I was a girl and did not want that, to this day I still check it at times...pretty silly uh!!! 45 now

As a child my mother convinced a more gullible younger sister that a bumble bee would never ever ever sting you on the tip of your nose. One day my aunt Bessie saw a bee climbing up the kitchen window and full of confidence put this new law to the test. I am sure you can probably guess the rest. Mind you they had to make their own entertainment in those days.

I used to believe that my head was filled with hair waiting to grow.

I THOUGHT THAT OUR SOUL WAS A BIG SHINY CRYSTAL IN OUR CHEST, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW OUR HEART,OUR STOMACH AND OUR SOUL COULD FIT IN SUCH A SMALL PLACE. I THOUGHT THAT IF THE PERSON WAS BAD THE CRYSTAL WAS SMALLER. I BELIEVED IT WAS A PINK CRYSTAL.

I used to believe when I was a child that when I was injured, the wound would never be repaired or cured.

My Aunt used to tell me that if I went to sleep with my hair wet (from taking a bath/shower), I would become blind.

i use to believe that bald people had such shiny heads cause they didnt eat there vegatables

i became very excited and happy when, around the age of 10, i was diagnosed as having athelete's foot. my parents later explained it didn't mean i was then automatically considered an athelete.

My mom used to use this expression whenever she was upset. She "threatened" to "skin us alive". I could only imagine running around for the rest of my life with no skin!!!

i used to belive that if yo played with you belly utton that all your skin would unravel

i used to believe that Body parts were controlled by aliens.and when we died they recycled us and Re-born us with new brains and new hearts , with a different face and body.

Im 31 and had this belief until I was 24
(cause I'm an idiot!) I used to think that all afros were wigs. When I was young I never new any young person with a fro. Only adults.Being that all my relatives did not have that type of hair,I could never understand exactly how human hair could get into that shape & texture.The little boy on Seseme Street with a fro even deapened the mystery. Years went by and I saw a James Bond monvie (Live & let Die) Where a spy woman rips her afro off and throws it on a bed. Well case solved all afros were wigs, and the little boy on sesame street had to look his best and wear a wig for the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since the case was closed I never gave it another thought. Until five years ago when a friend's brother grew one. My dawn of reckoning..............

one day when i was little i saw a black kid and i asked my mom why some people are black and she said thats the color god painted them.i then thoght that black people were origanaly white but then they went to church an god painted them black with a paint brush.

My sister used to tell me that she could take her head off and turn it around backwards. I would run out of the room screaming everytime she said she was going to do that.
