I grew up with baggy pants and low fitting pants, so for most of my life I thought my waist was where my hips are. It was my mom who finally explained to me that I am supposed to wear my pants higher. I never got out of the habit of wearing pants on my hip line.
Thanks a lot, dumb fads.
P.S. I am only 13 now.

My little brother used to believe that my skin could be pulled away from my body almost 3 inches.
He didn't know I was wearing pantyhose.
When I was young, I used to believe people went to body shops when they broke and arm or leg. I was terrified of ever breaking anything because the places seemed so dirty. I imagined a dingy room filled with arms and legs....the cast was used to heal the new arm onto the old one. I simply didn't think cars were important enough to name entire shops after them.

I "sprouted" early, I also swallowed a nickle, so when I started to grow I panicked thinking that my nickle grew inside of me and was stuck in my chest.
For the longest time, maybe till about 13 or 14 years old, i believed that nasal mucus was the "forgotten memories" brain matter being cleared out to make way for new memories to regenerate new brain matter. If you ask me it kinda makes sense.
I used to think that eyes were like mood rings... for instance... blue means your cold, green means you want to go outside, brown meant that you were hungry (don't know how i got that for brown) and so on... this went on for a little while until i went into my uncles hot tub and my cousins eyes were still blue... oh well it was cool for a while
I have always had this phobia since about the age of 5, I have to cover my feet up in bed in case any body comes and chops my toes off.
When I was 7 one of my playmates told me that if you accidentally swallowed one of your loose teeth, the tooth would grow out of your boobie. She was very positive about this, so of course, I believed her.
When I was a little girl, I seen my younger cousin being changed && I was so confused that he didn't have parts lyke mine. So, I reported to everyone that Bradley had devoloped a tail && that if we didn't get him to the hospital, he may turn in to a dog. My grandma told me that all boy's had tails. I was amazed. So everytime we went out to town for w/e reason, I would exclaim to every boy I seen, "Do you have a tail lyke Bradleys?" Needless to say, didn't get out much until I was older.
When I was little I thought that the portrait of Mona Lisa and her eyes would follow me around wherever I went!
My friend convinced me that if I used a bar of soap to wash my hair instead of shampoo that I would go bald.
When i was in kindergarten i thought that growing your bangs out would make your bangs fall out. like when your bangs reached the length of the rest of your hair they would just fall out!

my brother used to believe that everybody except him could see their eyeballs
I used to believe you could press your belly button to do something.. ( I forget what)
May I say it was because my big brother loved telling me these lies,and I was gullible!!
