body parts

i use to think when i was like 5 (12 now)
that finger nails were hard skin!!lmfao♥

I asked my father when I was four or five what my belly button was. He told me very matter of factly that I had been shot there! And that everyone eventually gets shot in the stomach so we all have belly buttons. I went around for years so terrified that someone out there was going to shoot me again not knowing I already had a navel...When I was in my thirties I was living with my boyfriend. He had the habit of petting our cat while on his belly. Apparantly, some fur found it's way into his belly button. He came to me all worried that he was growing black straight hair out of his belly button. I tried to assure him that given that he's a blond and people don't grow hair from inside the navel that it was very likely cat fur. He said it was stuck and proved that it was growing from him. I offered to pull it out and he looked at me in horror, "You can't do that! I'll unravel." Did I mention the idiot was in his thirties?

When I was little I had a habit of blinking my eyes alot. My dad told me if I don't stop blinking my eyes would fall off. I told my classmate about this and they say that would never happen. but I still believe what my dad said so I stopped blinking my eyes alot.

i used to believe that if you pulled a face and the wind blew you would be stuck like that forever

My mother used to scare us into believing that she could make our arms and legs fall off by unscrewing our belly buttons, my brother and I were terrified of screwdrivers for the longest time.

I used to believe that your ribs were actually shelves that stored the food you ate. not only that, but different shelves stored different types of food. so it was possible for the dinner shelves to be full but the dessert shelves could be empty. also, the dessert shelves emptied themselves faster than the other shelves so you could have more room for dessert.

When I was younger, I thought the veins on my wrists were from marker and that some random person came up to me and drew my veins on with purple and turquoise marker. I figured the reason the marker never came off when I bathed was the marker was permanent.

When I was Little My Father used To Tell me that if I washed my stomache to much it would grow lots of hair and look like his. (he was a very hairy guy), I Was Horrified consideirng I was a 4 year old little girl.

You couldn't have your belly button covered for too long or it would be harder for you to breathe.

I couldn't discern the difference between the words "shoulder" and "soldier" which led to a bit of confusion at times. Like when somebody mentioned that their "soldier" hurt.

When I was three, my father told me that if I pushed the cuticles back too far, my fingernails would fall out.
I still kind of believe it.

i used 2 think that goblens live in my nose

When I was young, I thought that only women's bosoms could have erection of the nipples (I knew it happened, I once walked in on my mom dressing). One day I got out of the tub and while my mom was drying me I noticed my nipples. I was horrified and I thought I was a Hermaphrodite. But I used the term "Two-Gendered! AAAAAH!" then my mom explained.

I used to believe that the goop in your eyes when you woke up in the morning were "baby eyes." If you didn't remove the "baby eyes" they would grow into extra eyes on your face. I kept my eyes very clean.

my brother told me that if he took a screwdriver and unscrewed my bellybutton, my butt would fall of and he used 2 chase me around with a screwdriver!

When I was young, I thought that those patterns and colors you see when you rub your eyes were called hippies. Probably had to do with those phsycedelic patterns being associated with them.
