body parts

I remember that I used to think that people could survive without heads, as I have seen people without an arm or a leg, i thought It would be the same to amputae the head, as to amputate an arm or leg....I dont think I told anyone then...But then I went to school and cleared things out...

I was taking a shower with my mom when I was about 6. I asked her "Why do you have hair down there?" She said "When you are older, you will have hair down there too." I didn't believe her. I just laughed and said "Yeah, right".

I used to believe that your eye was like a raw egg, and that if you poked your eyeball, it would run all over like the yolk of a raw egg.

Then my dad got eye surgery and had stitches across the white of his eye. The sight of it made me nauseous. I couldn't look at him until it healed.

My mom would tell my dad, "I have a sweet tooth", and he'd go out and buy her a gooey dessert. I asked my mom, "which tooth is your sweet tooth?" I thought that she had one that signaled her or something to tell her she wanted some chocolate.

When I was really little, probably about 5, I remember the thought crossing my mind that maybe black people were boys and white people were girls. Then I remembered my Dad wasn't black and blew my whole theory.

When I was a kid I heard my mom and dad say something about a but crack. I said "Do I have a but crack?" I asked, of course , they said yes! The I asked "does it hurt?"

You know when you're wearing make-up and when you cry then it'd fall with your tears and stuff? Well when was like 5 or 6, my mom told me that when older girls cry.. their eyes would bleed, which really was the make-up. So for a few years I thought that was true until I watched this one cartoon.

my (then 24 year old) husband honestly believed that women do not have an adam's apple. after we had been together a few years, i made a reference to mine....you should have seen the look on his face!!! to this day, he refuses to touch my throat!

I used to think souls were actual organs. Kind of shaped like a big bean or kidney and located where the solar plexus would be. I think it was sort of a transparent blue neon color and just floated above your stomach.

I overheard my mother saying one day that a person with tatoos was "wild" We had many feral cats in our barn and my grandmother was always telling me to leave them alone, they were "wild" and would scratch me. I became convinced that people with tatoos would scratch, hiss and bite if you got too close to them.

My little sister who is now in her mid-twenties is not the brightest star in the sky. When we were in our early twenties I saw that she had some dirtyness in her belly button and asked her what it was and why it was so dirty. She said, " Oh that's just my umbilical cord." Apparently, she never washed out her belly button thinking that the nastiness was her umbilical cord. How gross is that?!

i used to believe that my heart was actually in the shape of a heart but i found out that it wasnt

I used to believe that when someone pushed your belly button, your arms and legs would fall off.

My uncle told me that if I didn't wash my ears when I took a bath, corn would start going out of them.

I belived that beard and mustache were roots of hair. That it took long for the roots to grow out from ones chin and that's why only adults had them.

When I was very young, my mother told me that if I didn't clean my belly-button in the bath, dirt would collect and potatoes would start growing out of it. I made sure it keep it nice and clean.
