body parts

I didn't, but my cousin Kev used to believe that if he closed his eyes, you wouldn't be able to see him anymore. So when he had bust something of yours, he'd shut his eyes to hide, which of course made it all the easier to give him bash in the gob.

When I was at school (around 8 years old) older kids from the school down the road told myself and a group of firneds that if we put Vix Vaporub under our eyes then we would get high. Unfortunately it stung to high hell and we couldn't see for the rest of the day

when I was little mybrothers told me i was someone eles kid because I had red hair and freckles and the rest of the family had dark hair and olives skin.
I used to ask my parents 20 questions till my dad went mental at my brothers 7&14 years older than me

I once believed that if you made a funny face a trick wind will blow and your face stayed that way.

my grandmothers face was covered with freckles which she hated. Some ridiculous relative told her when she was about 5 if she bit them off from the inside they would fall off her face. She ended up in hospital with horribly infected ulcers in her cheeks and has badly stained teeth from the antibiotics they gave her. His next advise was to scratch them off with a wire brush...you would think she would have learned by them.

I used to think that if someone was hit in the temple hard enough, thier eye would pop out.

My mom told me that if you didn't eat enough carrots, your eyesite would suffer.

I used to read in the dark (or dim light, anyway), and my older sister told me that if I did that, my eyeballs would pop out. Needless to say, I didn't do it again...

I used to believe your shin was the same body part as your chin. I could not figure out how people got kiked in the chin so often.

My brother used to tell me that you gave birth through your belly button. I could never work out how a baby could get through a hole so small...

i used to believe that white skinned people sheaded skin and became black

I used to think that if I pulled all my hair out, I would look like Colonel Klink (Hogans Heroes)

I used to think that you either had long hair or you had short hair. If your hair was long, you could cut it, and it would grow back, but everyone had a certain limit. I think this had something to do with all the adults around me having the same hairlength all the time. I thought it was unfair that women with short hair could never be ballerinas.

I used to belive that if your belly button was unscrewed, your legs would fall off.
I used to believe that is you touched a picture in a book, it would come alive that night.

My great aunt was born with a leg deformity and had to have her foot amputated as a child. When I was about 4 years old, we were all at a big family cookout and everyone was swimming in my aunt's pool. I had no idea that she didn't have a foot and wore a fake one. As I was about to get into the pool, I saw her in the water at the edge of the pool...and I saw no foot! Which made me think that something happened to it in the water (like it got eaten ) and I FREEEEAKED out and started screaming and crying. She had to come over and explain everything to me, because I wouldn't get in the pool!

When I was a kid my dad told me that if I lost a tooth I should put it in a glass of water, because it would transform into a coin when it was night. I was depressed when I found out that this wasn't true...
