body parts

when i was young i used to think babys came out of belly buttons!!!!!

i used to think the saying "milk milk lemonade round the corner chocolates made" was really true

In India most of the males have mustaches. Once I asked my dad whats this pointing towards his Adams Apple. He told me its the bone for mustaches. Next day I was telling every one in my school what adams apple is, they belived me.

i used to think that babys came from your belly button. i was also told that if you unscrewed your belly button your bottom would fall off.

I was told so many lies about my belly button.

When I was small my Uncle told me that if I prodded too hard at my belly button I would explode. from then on I was very careful when cleaning it and would cringe at the thought of anyone touching it. Imagine my horror over forty years later when I had key-hole surgery to remove my gall bladder when they removed the three dressings - the third one was over my belly button and yes, they had gone in that way! Fortunately I hadn't exploded on the operating table!

My mum told me that if I didn't wash my ears then potatoes would grow in the dirt.

Once my father was sitting across from me at a table, and he said "look, my right hand is on this side, but your right hand is on that side, do you know why?" I answered, and believed, "because you're older!"

I used to believe that all body hair consisted of dead nerve-endings. Nerves growing until they pushed through your skin, I guess. I continued this belief through high school until a fellow student set me straight in AP Biology.

I used to get teased about my freckles at school. One day I told my aunt that I did not want my freckles anymore. She told me that she too had many when she was a child and she had got rid of them by putting powder on her face. I spent weeks putting powder on my face thinking they would until finally my parents made me tell them the reason of my strange habit.

my sister in her childish innocence studied an african american man waiting behind my mother in line at the local market near our house. she couldn't have been more than 5 or so squirming in her seat in the shopping cart when she couldn't wait any longer. she asked the man "when you take a bath how do you know when you're clean?" making the connection that he couldn't see dirt against his dark skin like she could. the man just laughed at her honesty and said "when the water turns brown i know i'm clean" while my mom turned ten shades of red in embarrassment.

In our family, it just so happened that the girls had brown eyes and the boys had blue eyes. I was sure that that was how you could tell if one was a boy or a girl.

When I was little and when I went to the doctors he used to check my ears (as usual) but he used to say that he could see onions and potatoes growing in them. After we'd leave i'd continuously ask my Mum if she could see anything growing. I actually still see my pediatrician (now 21 y/o) and he still try's to pull the same "funny" joke.

i thought that the adams apple was really an apple that got stuck in someons thoght. but then i found out it was acually a part in ur thoght.well after I found out i started laughing like crazy.

I used to believe…

every mole you have is marking a lie

I used to believe that potatoes grew inside my Belly Button - i can't remember why - but i believed it for a long time so kept on putting my finger inside my belly button making sure nothing was growing in there.

I used to believe that "colored" people were multi-colored, like a stained-glass window!
