body parts

The other day I was driving my 8 yr old daughter to school. We were talking about a comment someone had made about her long eyelashes and how it embarassed her. I made the comment "Ellen, most women would give a million buck to have eyelashes like yours." She got quiet for a little while, then said "Mom, I have THE BEST idea to make money. What if I made FAKE eyelashes for people!" "Then they could have eyelashes like mine and I can get rich!" She was so excited. I hated to have to tell her that fake eyelashes have been around a long time and she won't be getting rich anytime soon from them.

I begged my mother to let me pierce my ears when I was 5, and after a while, she agreed. As the day got closer, I heard that they'd be using an 'earring gun' to do the piercing. She found me crying, because I thought that it was a handgun loaded with an earring, and what if they missed my ear and got my face?

i use to beleive that belly buttons was a hole where you had a button that you wee born with and the button was the color of your birthstone so i used to try and look inside my belly button to find the left overs that the doctor forgot to take out when i was born

When I was 8 or so, I was convinced that "prosthesis" meant the same thing as "prophecy." Needless to say, I was teriffically confused when the school counselor read us a book about a little boy who had no hands....XD

I used to believe…

someone could unscrew my belly button, and if they did, my head would fall off

I used to try to talk in a really deep voice when I was little because that's how my dad talked. My Papa told me if I kept it up my voice box would get stuck in low... I didn't talk deep again until I was in high school

I use to think that when a man gained a lot of muscle his body hair would fall out. It made logical sense to me at the time, because most actors and models on TV wax their bodies. I proudly told my mother what I had discoveried. After laughing, she told me the truth.

I used to believe that only people that were in love had a heart.

I was told (repeatedly by my father) that if you play with your bellybutton you would bleed to death. This has had a horrific effect on my sex life.

I was about five or so when I asked my dad what that mark on the back of his neck was. He told me it was a mole. For a while, I believed that mark used to be a mole (rodent) that attached to my father's neck one day

I used to watch a lot of TV comercials about shampoo and I noticed that only girls washed their hair in the comercials. I thought boys and men did not wash their hair because there was no shampoo for them and that girls where the only ones allowed to use shampoos.

I used to believe that there were little blue men in my brain that would keep track of everything I learned. When I couldn't remember things, it made me nervous; I thought they'd snuck out during the night through my ears.

When I was a kid, a lady came into our class to check all of our heads for lice. She explained what they looked like so we all understood. When I got home that night, my Dad was getting ready to put on my Grandpa's winter hat, when I stopped him, because Grandpa had lice. As it turns out, Grandpa had dandruff.

On the bottle of shampoo, it would say, really big, make sure hair is wet!!! So I asked my mom what would happen if my hair was dry and I put shampoo in it, and she said I would die. I was really nervous for a long time.

i believed that if your mole came off you would bleed to death

My grandmother told me when I was little if you got doll hair in your eye you would go blind. She also said that if you played with a nail file long enough you could start a fire and burn the whole house down.
