Being the weird child I was, I used to eat my arm hair. (I know, pretty gross right?) Anyway, either my mom or my brother told me that if I kept doing that, it would start to grow in my stomach and become a tree...not really sure what their logic was behind that, but seeing as how I didn't really want to be torn apart by a tree inside my stomach, I stopped.

I used to believe that the whole of your insides were a hollow mass and if you cut yourself, everything inside you could come out of the whole. I remember refusing to eat my fish and chips after cutting my knee because i thought they'd come out of there.
when i was little i thought that a piercing gun used to pierce ears was a regular gun with an earring in it and some one would stand back and shot it into our ear

When I was 3 I belived that if you pulled your hair you would deflate and you could crawl under the covers of your bed and nobody would know you where their.
when i was around 5 years old, I asked my mom what a "booty" was. She told me (i still don't know why she said this) that a booty was a foot. I suspected she was lying to me, and for the longest time, I wasn't sure if booty was a foot or butt.

When I was little, I used to think that a heart attack meant that a brigade of germs would attack your heart and rip it to shreds with little spears.
I used to believe that our bodies were hollow on the inside and that there was a big black crow that lived in our chest that was connect to chains. And everytime he move a chain that corresponded with a body part.

I used to believe that when you lost your teeth, all of them fell out at the same time.
I used to believe…
that if you unscrewed your belly button your bum would fall off
I once had a dream that this man put on too much deoderent and he exploded. Very Graphical, I saw his arm land with blood spewing out. I was so scared that day I didn't put deorderent on for weeks. Boy did I smell.
My sister used to always complain about having big breasts and she hated them alot. So she told a way to have small breasts by sleeping on my stomach with my arms crossed on my chest every night. I'm flat...so it must have worked! hahaha
My mom used to put on a "Alien Skin" mask, (you know the facials you use that are like avocado and aloe vera used to cleanse your skin and poures.) Well when i was about 7 my friends would come over and my mom would put one on and then after it dried she walked in the living room/playroom and started peeling it off and my friends and i would get scared because she would be like" Some day your going to have to do this to because when you guys get older you're going to turn into ALIENS!" And then she would start laughing so i knew she was kidding but the other kids stayed up all night asking their parents if they were Aliens, and the moms would get mad at my Mom.
-Haha......Good Times!!!! :)
I used to imagine that if someone's arm or leg was cut off it would look like baloney or salami inside. No bone down the middle, no muscle structure, no bleeding -- just solid homogeneous meat.
I still liked eating baloney, as I knew it didn't come from people! Oddly enough, I can't remember imagining that other animals were made out of baloney inside. We lived on a lake and caught and ate fish all the time, and I would help out in the kitchen when my mother was roasting a chicken, so I did know that there were bones and muscles and things inside of animals.
(When someone finally explained to me that hot dogs and baloney were usually made of the bits of meat that nobody wanted, like guts, I didn't care -- I already liked eating chicken hearts.)
this belief isn't mine but my older sisters, i don't think she would mind it if i shared as long as she's anonymous,
until she was about 16 she believed that my best friend has a cow's heart because of a joke her mother made when we were little kids.
When I was little I had b to have my appendix removed. I asked my mom and dad what the appendix did, they said that nobody knew. My cousin later told me that it was my soul, and you needed a soul to go to heaven.
I used to believe everybody was born white and that they became black only if they spent a lot of time under the sun.
My dad once told me when i was little that my bum would fall off if i put a screw driver in my belly button and turn it three times. I thought it would be cool to have a detachable bum so i tried it and when my bum didn't fall off i cried because i thought my bellybutton was broken.
