When I was in kindergarten, I used to think that if you didn't take baths then all the dirt would build up on your skin and grass would grow on you.
I used to believe that when you lost a tooth, if you didn't feel around in the empty spot with your tongue, when the tooth grew back it would be gold or silver.
I used to think that If someone touched my bellybutton I wouldn't be able to breathe. And even to this day I don't let anyone touch my belly button,.

I used to believe clip on bow ties were inserted into your throat and that is how they stayed in place
This is actually a belief of my niece, who was about 10 when this little gem was unveiled. She comes from a very overbearing family and is never around non-white individuals. Once, while visiting my family, we all went to a grocery store and my niece happened to see an African-American woman breast feeding her baby. Very loudly, so everyone can hear, she asks if bl*ck women make chocolate milk, since they aren't like us. I was never so embarrassed in that store.
When I was smaller (maybe about eight) I used to believe that if I neglected one side of my body it would cease to work/hate me. Everything I did with my right hand, I would have to repeat with my left, if I kicked a door by accident the opposite foot would have to do the same. Occassionally I would just stand there doing various things with opposing hands for ages because I'd lost count. Weirdly, if I didn't do it, I got an odd burning sensation in the 'neglected' body part. I was a weird kid.
When I was younger - 5 or 6 - and I would feel the back of my neck, I used to think M&Ms were in there (instead of my spinal column).

i used to believe that if a person was really stupid u could see through one ear and out the other(i still kinda do)
I don't remember this, but when i was little i had really long hair. My friend told me that she asked me how i got my hair so long, and apparently i told her to go outside and put it down the drain. I was a strange young child.
I used to believe…
you know sometimes you have another tooth behind the one that hasnt fallen out yet, i used to believe that these little green frog thingamajigs would be putting another tooth behind the one that just fell out...lol i found that there were no such things when another tooth fell out and there was nothing behind it...].[
My family had these two huge white cats with this thick, long fur when I was really little. They were actually brothers from the same litter (named Bo & Luke...Dukes of Hazzard?) One day I parted one of the cat's hair and saw white skin. I checked the other cat's skin and I could swear that I saw dark brown skin (probably dirt or a freckle). Since they were brothers with different colored skin- I was convinced that my caucasian pregnant mom was going to give me a black little bro or sis.
I used to believe that for every hair you had on your head, it represented some sort of memory from your past or present. It didn't have to be all good or prominant memories; just a little something that you could clearly remember. So I thought that if you pulled each hair off of your head, you could tell a different story for each one you pulled off.
I thought that a birthmark was your date of birth stamped on your skin when you were born, like an "approved" stamp and everyone had one. When my mom told me I had a tiny one on my back, I spent hours looking in the mirror trying to find this stamp!
when i was younger i used to think that if a person with different color skin touched me it would change that part of my skin color too their color.
NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE..i was young and wierd!!

I didn't know about blood vessels until I was about 6. I thought that the human body was a blood sack with organs and bones.
Until I was about 8 I believed that your back teeth keep growing in until you have a full circle of teeth.
I used to think hair was a plant that grew on your head, i used to pull strands of hair out and try to find the seeds, I thought that one day I'd find them and sell then to bald people and get rich.
I used to think tears were peices of your eyes liquifying and comming out and every time you cried you eyes would get smaller one day me and my friend were on the school bus and I told her my theory and she beleived me, not that we're older we know its not true but she still makes fun of me for thinking it was.
I used to think that a "stage kiss" meant that the two peoples' lips didn't actually touch but it just looked like they did.
