body parts

I used to think that black people had hair made of yarn.

I also used to think that anyone could grow a beard if they wanted to - even women. I didn't know that beardless people shaved - I just assumed if you wanted a beard, one would grow, and if you didn't want one, it wouldn't grow.

When I was young, I saw some guys who were bodybuilders in the 80s and they had a lot of body hair. I heard my mom and some of my school teachers comment on them, saying, "Wow, look, they have a lot of muscles". I thought that "hair" only referred to the hair on top of your head, and that the word "muscles" was referring to their coincidental abundance of body hair. I asked them what "muscles" were, and they said that "muscles make you strong" and that I would get more muscles as I got older. I was with my Dad at the mall and saw a guy with a lot of body hair (not muscular though) and I said, "Dad, look- that guy has a lot of muscles!" and my Dad's feelings were hurt. He said, "Don't you think I have a lot of muscles?" he didn't have much body hair. I said, "I don't know." His feelings were hurt. One day, I grew a long hair on my arm and showed my Mom. I said, "Look at my big muscle!" and she laughed and said, "That's a hair!" and then I understood.

When my brother was little, he was terrified of hair, especially wet hair, since, as you all know, wet hair sticks to you and is especially hard to get rid of. He used to cry everytime he had a back because he believed that the wet hair (which he believed was alive) was going to get him.

Up untill i was about 5, I believed that if you unscrewed your nipple, your spirit will come out!

Black men were actually roasted

My mom is a hairdresser and when I was 6 I asked her what a coulick was and before she could answer I said is coulick where a cow licked your belly when I was in it.

Not me But my brother thought that people with different coloured skin had different coloured blood. like people with dark skin had darker blood than people with lighter skin! hes 14!! LOL

I was made to believe when little that if you poked too much in your belly-button, your bottom (bum) would fall off.

My 4 year old was really nervous at her first professional hair cut. With a little prodding I discovered that she belived that the length of your hair determined whether you were a boy or a girl. She was afraid she would turn into a boy if they cut her hair too short.

When I was 6 I used to believe that my "exercises" lived in a door in my leg and before I did any sport I had to open the imaginary door and afterwards I had to put them all back.

i used to believe if i touch my belly button i'd die and my intestines will fall out.i was really afraid of touching it.

I used to believe that your 'guts' were these green glowsticks covered in slime that floated around in your stomache. All I know is that I got that idea from some movie. I don't know which movie.

I used to believe…

up until recently i thought if you messed with your bellybutton it would get red and infected and you would die. i thought this beacuse when i was 3 i kept scratching the inside of my bellybutton and i t get red, my mom put hyrogen peroxide in it "so it would get infected"

I used to believe that my bellybutton was acutally called a "chickens bum" I have no idea where this came from lol.

i thought that your belly botton was were babies came from.

I didn't know adults had teeth. I thought adults teeth fell out, just like baby teeth, and then they had to get dentures. Both of my parents had dentures. I just thought some adults had really ugly dentures.
