When i was a younin i used to think that because my cousin had a false tooth (it got knocked out somhow and he's only 2 years older then me), both my parents have false teeth and the thought that all old people had false teeth, i thought i was doomed to a life of having false teeth. I thought that any day now all my teeth would fall out and i'd have to spend the rest of my life with false ones.

My mom has Restless Legs. Well me and my friend thought it was just some term she made up and we laughed and laughed and laughed about it...because we thought it wasnt real and she was joking. We still laugh about it. I saw a commercial on TV for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), and i accused her if making the commercial up to convince me and my friend, i dont REALLY think she did though. Well, maybe...
i used to think men could also get stretch marks....until my younger stepsister told me women only get it....

when I was like, 6, my mom always told me that the little scraps of food that came out of your teeth when you flossed, were sugar bugs. I thought they were actual bugs so I tried to make a collection.
I used to believe that when men grew beard hair it was really painful (how it pierced through the skin), but in keeping and maintaining a beard it demonstrated the toughness of the man and indeed their superiority over women. How right I was.
When I was real little, I remember thinking for a brief time that your age was in direct correlation with your shoe size, i.e., if you're 2, you wear a size 2; if you're 5, you wear a size 5. I have no idea how I came up with this...

When my daughter got her first loose tooth we explained to her that it was her baby teeth.Once she lost her baby teeth(not alll of them only 2) she said she was glad it was only her teeth...But then i said why are you glad You still have your baby eyes they fall out like you teeth...when they fall out there is nothing there like when you loose your teeth and and then it grows in little by little then you'll have your grown up eyes-so from then on she started wiggling her eyes to see if they were loose!

When I was a little girl I firmly believed that the true sign of childhood wealth was wearing braces. I had stubbornly staright teeth AND a poor family. No hope for braces for me. After hearing a child at school murmer about me being traler trash, I vowed that i would make everyone think I was rich. I arrived at school the next day- and everyday for several weeks wearing tin foil on my teeth.
When I was eight, my papa got a pair of dentures. Only, I didn't know they were false teeth. After popping them out at me I excitedly asked him how he did that. He told me it took lots of practice.

I used to think that you could unscrew your belly button and then all the air would come whizzing out and you would fly around the room like a balloon.
Growing up, my older brother collected gopher bones. He always told me that they were my baby bones, and that I lost them just like my teeth. My mom never told me the truth, I had to find out on my own when I got older and was very disapointed that my brother and mom would lie to me.
I was nearly four when my third sibling was born. My Aunt was holding him (a thrid brother for me) and kept telling me not to touch his crown. His crown! I couldn't see a crown on his head and besides he was a boy! He had no business trying to wear a crown. My father had told me that I was the princess in this family. I thought that my Aunt was very mistaken, it was years later that I found out that she meant the soft spot on the new baby's head is the crown.
