body parts

I used to believe that my hair grew out of my head from a tightly wound store of it lodged within my skull - I couldn't work out how it stayed away from your eyes on the inside. I also believed that finger nails were already formed in the fingers but stayed soft until they were exposed to air (had they not worked like that then the fingers and wrists would have been rigid - or so I supposed).

You know how you somethimes see those long little germy thingies floating across your eye when you're staring into nothing? Well, I used to think that I could magically see microscopic organisms and that I had some kind of super power. Anyway, I learned later that those thinga are just bacteria or sumthing floating across your eye, professionally nicknamed, "floaters" and that everybody sees them. o well...

When I was about 8 or 9 my dad had told me to hit his shin with my fist to feel how hard it was, then he would tell me that he had a metal bar put in his leg. When I would ask how or why he had a metal bar in his leg he would just laugh. Thinking he didn't want to talk about it I would just drop the subject. I wondered about that metal bar for quite a while. Now I know it was just his shin bone!

Aged 5 or so I believed that if I repeated every movement from my left side symmetrically on the right and vice versa, I would be able to maintain perfect bodily symmetry, and that when I'd ultimately die doctors would marvel at this during my autopsy. I knew the heart beats to the left and had experienced chocolate overdoses causing liver pain to the right, but I deliberately closed my mind to such conficting facts.

i used to belive that my eyes had unbreakable glass on them!`

I have this birthmark on my arm that looks like a brown blotch, not a puffy freaky hairy thing, that with a little imagination looks like the jet engine on the wing of an airplane when viewed at lets say a 3/4 angle. When I was real young, maybe 4-5 years old, I used to think it was a design or blueprint for some weird gizmo of sorts that I never knew the purpose for. I hid it from people back then, not because of that though it might've been the secondary reason, I still prefer not to show it to this very day (you wouldn't believe how many people dunno what a birthmark is nowadays and ask or give weird looks).

I used to believe that the lungs where tubes in the neck.

I use to believe that the hair on your head was the same colour as pubic hair

When I was little and my mum used to take me to see the Chinese New Year parades, I used to think that the people in the dragon costumes had no upper part to their body, as all you could see were their legs dancing. Therefore if you removed the costume you'd find a dozen pairs of legs with no bodies.

My grandfather once told me that you got rid of warts by rubbing a potato on it and buring the potato in the backyard. I believed him.

My dad would tell me stories about kids who didn't wash all of the soap out of their hair. He said that, when it rained, a big soap bubble would form and carry the kid away.

I have dark eyes and brown hair. When I was like 5 years old.. I saw my sister's friend in school, she had Green eyes. So I went to my mom after school saying: Mom!! I saw a girl today.. SHE HAS ROTTEN EYES!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was normal to have black, brown, hazel eyes.. but big green eyes!! i thought she was sick!

I was a stupid child I guess :|

When I was a child I used to believe that if we throw the lost tooth up in the Sky the Sun will take it and replace it with a beatiful new one .

I used to believe that if I got my hair cut like Farrah Fawcett's people would throw ashes on me.

I used to believe my dentist could give me a shot to straighten my teeth and prevent cavities.

My mom told me that if i play wiv my bellybutton or anyone elses the knot would unbutton and come undone! i tryed chasing a girl mate i had when i was 5-6 and tryed untying hers!
