body parts

My mom used to tell me that if I didn't wash my ears, potatoes would grow in them, so whenever we had potatoes for dinner i would always wonder whose ears they had come from.

I used to think that the inside of people's heads was like the insides of a watermelon, with the white rind, the pink flesh and all the little black seeds.
There was a little boy that I didn't like and I desperately wanted to cut his head open with an axe to find out if my theory was correct.

When i was little I asked my grandmother how we get belly buttons. She told me as a joke that when your born there is an indian that pokes your stomach and he makes a belly button. Haha. i believed it for a LONG time. haha.

I used to believe that the sole purpose of your belly button was to serve as a soap dish. I would lay in the bathtub and puor liquid soap into my belly button, and dip my washcloth into it, and proceed to wash my body.

i used to believe that my belly button was a screw that when unscrewed all the air would come out of you and you would be flat.i still hate it when my kid tries to unscrew my belly button

When I was little I thought the reason my grandfather was bald was because he rode on a motorcycle really fast with no helmet and all of his hair fell out in one swooooop!

When I was little I didn't know what saliva was, so i thought everyone had a different drink that appeared in their mouth, and i thought mine was water. I thought my dad's was orange juice.

I used to think that if you cut your leg in half, it would look like a cucumber!!!

i don't know where this one came from or how i started believing it but i used to think that is you went to bed with your socks on, they would stick to your feet.

I thought that the belly button was sort of like a doorway. I thought that babies came out of there, which was a common belief.

But one day when I was about four, I was eating mashed potatoes at dinner and a little chunk fell onto my belly button. I didn't feel it, but when I looked down, I panicked. "My belly button's LEAKING!"

I was once told that my belly button kept my body together and that if i 'untied' it my arms and legs would just flop everywhere like jelly

I used to beleive that whatever I though about would be projected onto my eyes so that other people could see it too. I stood in front of the mirror for hours before realizing that I probably coudn't see my own thoughts. I asked my friends if they could see but they said no too. I never got to see bugs bunny in my eye. :(

I used to believe that if you made a funny face and someone hit you in the back of the head, your face would stay like that.

Gotta love my mom :)

I used to believe we each had little flames inside and under our arms (so what if I couldn't see them), and that was why it was so warm there.

I used to believe…

eye sparkles ... the lil white dots of light that zoom around your eyes when looking at a blue sky.. or white piece of paper.. (actually caused by floating white blood cells)

I used to believe that they were spirits on their journey to a happier place. Eye sparkles still make me smile with childlike joy

i used to be very proud of the fact that i can touch my eye with my finger and not be scared. My brother then, in an attempt to make me stop this, told me that if i touched it my eyes would melt. I STILL feel uncomfortable touching my eyes.
