body parts

When I was little,about 5 or 6, I used to believe that if I shut my eyes no one could see me, or anything I did while my eyes were shut. So I'd break something and then shut my eyes thinking my mom couldn't see me and what I had just done. She would know it was me and not my sister because I would just stand there with my eyes shut, but I was so cute she never got mad at me and I never got punished. Sometimes I still like to pretend that when my eyes are shut I am invisible to all.

i used to belive that if i had a spot on my skin i would not be allowed to go outside untill its gone. I wouldnt step out the house... Most times my parents had 2 carry me out

When i was 7 i believed everything my sister told me. So one day she said if u unscrew your belly button juice would come out. So one day in town my mum said i stood up and was pulling my belly button. When she asked wot i was doin i said i wanted juice. She said her have this carton and i said ( screaming loudly )whats the point when i have my own in my belly button. Apperntly everybody stared. CRINGE!!

When my younger sister sophie was about 2 she couldn't work out why black people where a different colour than her so come to the conclusion that they where made out of chocolate, It could be embarrasing sometimes when we would walk down the street and she would point and shout "Look its a chocolate daddy" to any black man or "chocolate mummy" for woman.

I knew that the belly button was associated somehow with birth, so I thought that when you were going to give birth, your belly button opened up like the old CBS logo on TV - like an old camera lens! Then the baby would easily come out and the 'lens' would close up again.

I used to believe that old people got grey hair because at the base of every hair follicle was a can of paint. As the hair grew, it passed through the can of "hair colored" paint. When you get old, the paint runs out and your hair grows in grey or white...

I was convinced for a long time that my elbow was my armpit. There WAS logic behind it: I wasn't thinking of the word "pit" as a hole or a hollow, but like the pit in a cherry or a peach. The bone in the elbow was round and hard like a peach pit, so I figured that that had to be the arm pit.

I'm hispanic. All my family has very light skin (like white people). Well I was the darkest (and I'm not very dark). I used to think if I ate chocolate I would get darker. Need less to say I didn't eat chocolate not even chocolate milk, but I did try to drink plenty of milk, I figured I will get lighter or stay where I was. I'm lighter now in my 20s. and I still don't eat chocolate.

I'm 18 and I was the only black kid in my pre-school. One day I was playing and a white girl came over and licked me. I began to cry hysterically while she tried to explain to the scolding teacher, "I thought she was made out of chocolate!" I heard that and got scared my arm was gonna melt where she licked it.
Wasn't I cute ;P )

I use to think that everyone in the world could pull their teeth out and then put them back but me, my grandma could, my great grandma could and so could my uncle. I tried and tried to get mine out too, but (thank God) neveer succeeded. I was so relieved when I finally learned about dentures.

When I was about 3, I saw a picture of my mom with really short hair. My aunt said, "Look at how short your mom's hair was! That was when she was pregnant!" For years I thought that all women with short hair were pregnant, and that being pregnant meant having short hair!

i used to believe that when you pull out your own tooth you can wish on it. you can either throw it up on the roof or flush it on the toilet. if you don't do either, your tooth will haunt you forever. just in case if you you wish for something bigger or higher, pick the roof.

i used to believe that people with blue eyes saw everything blue, people with green eyes saw things green......i have brown eyes. when i questioned my blue-eyed grandfather about this, he asked "do you see everything in brown?"

The first time I seen a black person was when I was 9 on holiday in Spain. A black lady was sunbathing on the beach and I thought that she would be white underneath her bikini.

my kindergarten teacher was born without a full arm (I don't remember if it was the left or right one). She had all of her upper arm and the elbow area, but her arm didn't grow past the elbow. She was able to move her elbow, which was really freaky.

I believed that if I touched the end of her stump my arm would shrivel up like hers. I was so scared of it that I would make sure to never stand or sit on her stump side. On my birthday she tried to give me a big hug and I freaked out. I wouldn't go to sleep that night because I was sure I would wake up with just a stump.

When I was in first grade my teacher in school told us that humans have a certain number of layers of skin. What I did not remember her telling me was that skin continues to grow. I was terrified that I would go through sll my layers of skin before I got older and that I would use it all up and not have any left. I did not quite know what would of happened to me without skin but everything I thought of was scary and had more then a few nightmares
