body parts

I used to believe…

you know how when you look at a bright light sometimes and then shut your eyes you can see little colourful dots. Well i used to think these were called fuzzies and that they were like a little community in your closed eyelids.

I was told that people had seven layers of skin. I thought that if you lost one layer, it didn't grow back. I was so scared to get scrapes and cuts.

I used to believe that when you looked at something your eyes actually left your head and went to that object. I would sit on the couch and look at the television. If my brother were looking at the television I thought that I could push his eyes out of the way with mine. I also thought that if I were looking at the tv and someone walked into the room and I looked away my eyes would be traveling across the room and if they ran into someone they may not make it back to my head. I also tried to use that theory to my advantage to "hit" my brother with my eyes when he came into the room. I was willing to risk losing my eyes if I could just get one up on my brother.

I'm left-handed, and since my mom and sister were right-handed, I figured that all guys were lefties and all girls were righties. When I figured out that my dad is also a righty, it threw me off, and then I realized that I'm just an oddball.

Someone told me that your bum falls off if you unscrew your belly button. This dosn't stop me from fiddling with it though. I often try to turn my innie into an outie. I succeed. I think I'm a freak!

I used to believe that if you cut your hair it would make it grow faster.

My mother once told me that if I screamed my fingernails would grow.
I don't think she knew I had figured out they could be cut yet, because I began screaming to test this theory. Needless to say, they didn't grow.

I used to believe that one time, when I was taken to the doctor, they inserted an AA-type battery into my body, for some weird reason. I never knew what it really was, but based on the place where the "battery" was inserted, I think it was a suppository.

When I was a kid of 4 and 5, the one thing all of us kids believed, even some of the older kids in the neighbourhood, was that if the 'web' between our thumb and forefinger was cut in anyway we would die, and I had nightmares about falling into pieces like a cartoon character.

I thought black people's behinds were white-just like white people with a tan.

Well when i was littel i used to think the boo was the leg lol. One time we went to the doctor . When i was 5 i broke my leg so when. The dotor ask me why i was here i said "caues my boo was broke"
So what was funny lol

My parents used to tell me I had "mouse ears". I thought my ears must have been deformed so I used to keep my hair long to cover my ears (until my mid-20's) What they really meant was that my ears were small and that I have extremely good hearing! ! !

When I was little, I used to nibble on all sorts of things: toys, biscuits, the dinner table. My parents said I had "mouse teeth" and I thought they meant that my teeth were yellow and pointy and ugly. Just about all photos of me have me smiling with just my lips; no teeth showing. I'm now 49......oh dear.

As a young child, I believd that the colour of a person's hair indicated the time of day that they born. Blondes were born in the morning, brunettes in the afternoon & evening and black haired people were born at night. Redheads were born only when the sky was red - that's why there weren't so many of them.

When I was little, I used to believe that muscles and snot were made of the same substance. This was because of a book I read where it said that earwax was a thick, gooey substance like mucus--only I misread "mucus" as "muscle," creating a very strange mental image for me...

I used to believe that when you got sick and were to throw up, that the barf came out of your belly - button. So every time I would get sick, I would watch my belly button to see if there was anything coming of it.
