When i was little I used to pull on my belly button. My Grandma once convinced me that if i kept pulling on it then it would get longer and longer until it went to the floor! I believed this until I was about 10.
i used to believe that whatever color your eyes are then that would be all you could see. Like if you had blue eyes everything would be blue. It never occured to me that I didn't see everything in brown the color of my eyes.
When i was little i believed that people only got belly buttons when they had children, because the baby and the mum are attached by it, i thought it was some sort of baby-scar.

When I was a kid I was amused that you could move your knee cap so I would do it constantly. So one dad my dad decided to tell me that if I kept doing it that my knee cap would fall off. So I wouldn't even touch my knee cap after that until my dad finally told me it wasn't true when I was 11.

I used to believe that If I stuck my finger really far inside of my belly button I could touch my insides.
I used to think that pubic hair was fur. When I was about three or so I asked my mom "why do you and my dad have fur down there?" I didn't understand it until much later.
When I was about 3, we went to my friend's birthday party. She was African American, and my mom and I were about the only white people attending the party. I looked up at my mom and asked "Are they made of chocolate?".
I believed that people who were bald were dumb, because I thought hair was connected to your brain.. so when I saw old men, I thought they were so dumb because they did not have any hair, meaning nothing connecting to their brain.
I couldn't figure out what was so funny when I told people that, because I thought I was so clever!
I thought your ova were in your belly button ( the little knots you get from having your umbilical cord tied,) for a long time, I used to try and pick them out and my belly button ended up all red and sore and my mom would yell at me, "get your fingers out of you belly button!" I never told her it was because I didn't want to have a baby.
When I was probably 4 or so my stepdad's younger adopted brother told me that if I touched a black person that the color would rub off on me. This made me terrified and I didn't want to touch anyone with darker skin than mine. He even supported this lie by saying that's why black people have light colored palms, they rubbed all the color off. It wasn't until I was almost in High School before I finally realized this was all a lie!!
When I was young I questioned my mom about the part in my hair that wouldn't cooperate with the rest of my hair. She told me it was called a cowlick, (which isn't wrong!) and that when I was born a cow came and licked my head!
I used to believe that cuticles (that white part under your fingernails) were an indication of how big a liar you were. The bigger the cuticles, the more lies you told.

when i was little i used to hoke in my belly button.that is until my mum told me that if i didnt leave it alone i would end up unscrewing my legs. i know its silly but i am still terrified of belly buttons
When I was little, I asked my dad why I had a belly button. He said that it was how mommy fed me when I was really little. Not realizing that this was before I was born (and that it was from my umbilical cord), I was confused. Then I noticed that my mom had one too, and so I thought that before I learned to eat real food, my mom lied on her back, and put me on her tummy, being sure to line up our belly buttons, and put the food from her tummy straight into mine!
When I was little (about 4 or 5), I had lots and lots of freckles across my face. I hated them and complained about them a lot because I looked like a dork. My mom, in order for me to tolerate them, told me that 'freckles' were kisses from God and he kissed me so much that they show up.
I believed it for the longest time.

I used to think that the small, brown flecks that appear on random places of the skin would eventually get bigger and bigger until I was completely brown.
