When my sis and I were younger, our grandparents and our mom would tell us that Mustard makes your eyes shine. (Needless to say...No more special orders at McDonald's!!)

when i was a kid i used to think that your stomach took up the whole of your body and pieces of plastic seperated two pouches, one for food and one with water.

When I was little I was really shy.

When I was about five we had to small dogs that walked all over us. I had observed, many times, that my dogs would walk on my dad and he would say, "My Nuts!"...So one day our little terrier did the same thing to me in the same spot so I said "My Nuts!"
Needless to say I got a few weird looks from my sisters and mother explaining that I didn't have "nuts"
When I was about five, my older cousin told me that cashmere was made from the skin that was punched out when you got your ears pierced.
I doubt I believed it even at the time, but I still cringe when someone walks by me in a cashmere sweater!

I use to believe that if you went underwater without closing your eyes first, you would go blind. I would always make sure my eyes were shut real tight before going underwater! I think I got this idea when I was real young from a movie that I completely misunderstood.

My parents told me that when you got a ringing in your ears, it meant a satellite was overhead.

I used to eat alot of green olives. When I was younger, my Dad told me I had green eyes because I always ate green olives. I believed him for a very long time.
Since both my parents had dentures, I always thought that it was normal to take out your teeth from your mouth. I tried many times to take out mines and I was curious to know at what age I would finally be able to brush my teeth by holding them under water instead of putting the brush in my mouth...
When I was 6 years old. I used to believe that if you let your hair grow out long that it would cover your whole body like a chimp. I don't know why I believed it, but it did make be think that big foot was just some guy who never cut his hair.
