My aunt told me that if you twist your bellybutton, your butt will fall off. I believed her, since my aunt wouldn't lie to me! I went to kindergarten and told everyone about it.

I used to believe that a person's soul was an actual "thing" that lived in the body from the top of the chest to the torso. Rectangular in shape with rounded corners.

I used to believe that if white people would turn brown in the sun then brown people would turn white.

My uncle (who is bald on top) once told me--when I asked him why he was--that he had run holding a stick. I was skeptical, but thought he was possibly right, but there was no way I was giving up the imaginary midevel wars with my friends. Running while holding a stick figured prominently in these games.

I used to believe that if I swallowed chewing gum that I would turn into a telephone, why? Who Knows.
I also believed that when I was in my mothers belly that she would hold the telephone to her belly button at the same time as her mate who was pregnant with my best friend at the time and we could chat even before birth. We later proved that no practice was required as we still don't get off the phone for hours and we are 30.

My brother used to believe that for my father to take his false teeth out he pressed a button in his mouth and then held out his hand and they would shoot out of his mouth into his hand!

I used to believe that if I could/would untie my belly knot, that there would be a hole there and I would be able to inside my body.

Kids in my school would ask if I could see without my glasses, and I said no. They said they thought I was actually blind, as in with my eyes closed.

Some other kids thought that when I took my glasses off, was I secretly like Superman who could only do his special powers when he took his glasses off and changed his clothes.

I used to believe that people's teeth were like shark's teeth; that they just kept a new set available for when the next ones fell out or were pulled, the next tooth would grow into the space left, ad infinitum. I thought that the tooth fairy would really give me a lot of money when my adult incisors came out, because they were so big when compared to the others. I was quite upset when I found out that the second set was all you could get, and when they fell out, it was time for dentures. (I didn't want any of those, because my grandmother said hers hurt all the time.)

I used to think that each time your heart beat that your blood made a complete trip around your body. it therefore must move very fast inside of you, i reasoned, and was terrified of cutting myself or scraping my knee for fear blood would just spray out

I came from a small town consisitng of all white people. When I was younger I thought ALL black people were related to each other.

I was in the nursing home with my great grandma one time and I saw her teeth in a jar. They were just floating there, so I come up to my grandma ( My great grandma's kid) and said, " Grandma can you help me pull my teeth out they won't move when I yank on them!!" I was about 4-5 years old.

I thought that pubic hair was called public hair. The word inventors were making it a joke because it's supposed to be private.

i use to believe that shampoo for "dry" hair meant you didnt need water; it was a failed attempt when i tried it out but my mom thought it was cute.

I was half listening to lamb chop, and they said something about an egg turns into a chicken, but I thought it said a leg, and for the longest time I had this huge phobia that my legs were randomly going to turn into chickens and walk away.

when i was young like 7 i accidentally used conditioner before shampoo and washed my hair that way, when i realized what i had done i freaked out and thought my hair would fall out :)

I used to believe that you had to be blonde to be dumb because that's what everyone used to call me, and I was blonde.
