body parts

One time when I was little I overhead my dad say, "eyelids are very delicate." For years after that, anytime I rubbed my eyes a bit harder than I intended, I would run to a mirror in make sure my eyelid hadn't ripped. I was terrified of it happening, because how could you possibly remedy a ripped eyelid? I doubt my father ever had any idea of all the trauma that simple statement inflicted on me.

I had an uncle who has lost his arm in a farm accident. Also, I noticed when things were broken, they were thrown away.Sooo, when i fell and broke my arm (age 8), I was sure they were going to cut it off and throw it away. I was scared to death until I left the hospital with my arm in a cast and still attached to the rest of me!

i used to wonder, what happens to scabs when they fall off? i thought that a weird land-crawling octopus would seek out the minute pieces and keep them to cover his skin so it wouldn't dry out.

When I was about 7 I believed black people were black because they didn't shower enough.
Well, my gradma had this cleaning lady who was black. Once she was watering the plants in the backyard and I asked her:
-- Hey (her name), why don't you water yourself now and get rid of all the dirty??

My mom and grandma were ashamed for a long time. And now I'm ashamed also!!
LOL

when i was young i used to think that balls(testes) used to store urine. but now i know its for a higher purpose. to make babies unless...

I used to believe, because my dad said so, that my arms, legs and head were all held on by cords attached to my belly button. If my belly button were to fall off, I would fall apart. It made sense to me because that's how G.I. Joe dolls were made.

i used to think that i had two noses and i remember not understanding why i was congested when ever i got sick because doesn't it make sense that if you cant breathe out of one nose then you should be able to breathe out of the other?

When I first heard someone make reference to the stereotypically feminine complaint of "oh, I can't do that, I'd break a nail", I imagined that the person saying that was concerned about the nail completely breaking off down the middle. Having at one point trimmed off my own nail a bit too close to the flesh, this sounded like an excruciatingly painful thing to happen and I couldn't understand why the complaint was treated with such derision.

when i was little, my mom would tell me that the beauty marks on my face was there because a fly laid their eggs on it. which made it turn into a different colour.

i then asked why the eggs dont hatch, and she said it was because the eggs all died under your skin because i didnt wash my face properly enough. after that i always thought my beauty marks was there because flys sh$t on my face. (i would always have my bedroom door closed now)

i use 2 think girls dint hav a peepee!!! how wud they pee!!

I always thought that if you sneeze with your eyes open your eye balls will pop out...after that da I always sneezed with my eyes closed.... then I found out that it's not possible to sneeze with your eyes open!

I used to believe that glasses werent just glasses. I thought that they were xray glasses, or lasor beam glasses, or some other twisted kind of glasses. I thought that because of this, people said not to hit a kid with glasses because they would beam you witha lasor in their glasses.

When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me that if you opened the refridgerator door too long, your face was freeze in the same position for the rest of your life...She even backed the lie with the story of her distant aunt who had her face frozen and her lips stayed curled forever. So I made a serious effort to make my face a pretty as possible so it if it ever froze, I woud still look nice. I did try to avoid smiles however because I feared that I would have a smile on even if I was angry.

When I was little, I believed that the septum (the part inside your nose that divides it into two parts) was just a very large booger, and I used a Q-tip to try to get it out! All that did was make my nose hurt so I gave up.

When I was younger I had my appendix taken out. I used to be afraid that if I got a cut on my scar, the scar would come completely open and my insides would fall out. So whenever I was playing I would put my hand over my scar incase I fell.

When I was young, I used to believe that when you swallow a fish bone, it will become part of your bone and you can grow faster and stronger with more bones.
