body parts

i used to believe that if you were a white child you would grow up to be black and if you were a black child you would grow up to be white. thanks michael jackson.....

Once my dad told me that the end of the ulna (which is the part of the bone that slightly forms a buldge at the outer part of the wrist) is really a grape under my skin, and I believed him.

I used to believe that people got buck teeth when they talked a lot. My mother had a friend who talked a lot and her teeth stuck out, so I put two and two together. Made sense to me.

When I was little, my mother told me that if I didn't wash all of the shampoo out of my hair, all my hair would fall out and I would be bald. I assumed this to mean forever. I believed this for longer than I should have.

When i was around 5, my hair used to be braided into many long plaits(that i was very proud of !) that my friends at kindergarten would try to count. I always believed that by counting my plaits, my hair would fall off and up to this day i still believe that.

When we were kids my sister always played with her belly button. My dad once told her that if she unbuttoned her belly button her legs would fall off. I used to torture her for hours trying to pin her down to unbutton her belly button

When my best friend Emma and I were around 6 we saw on TV a hairspray in a gold bottle and the lady said that you couldn't go a day without wearing it or your hair would look bad, I told Emma that we had a gold spray bottle in the bathroom and we should try it. We were 6 and didn't read yet so we just started spraying only to be told that it was my dad's spray deodorant. Our mom's told us that our hair would fall out (probably just to scare us) but we believed them and went to stole every single one of my big sister's hats to get ready for when we were bald. We refused to go anywhere with out a hat just in case a chunk fell out while were were out. This went on until a few weeks later when I told my grandpa that I would be bald like him soon and he set me straight.

I used to believe that you got freckles by squeezing your skin really hard, so I used to pinch my cheeks and squeeze my arms, thinking that freckles would appear.

My dad always taught me that if you unscrewed your belly button your bum would fall off.

Now I tell any small children I come across the same thing.

Tee hee.

When I was younger, I had a bad habbit of chewing on my hair. Then my dad told me that if I kept doing that, my hair would turn green. Of course, I believed him. So everytime I saw one of my friends sucking on her hair, I would freak out and yell "DONT DO THAT YOUR HAIR WILL TURN GREEEN!" I was so cute. Haha.

When I was little I somehow was under the impression that the word "balls" meant butt. One day in school I fell on my butt and I screamed out real loud "MY BALLS HURT!". I was real young, so only the teacher laughed.

I used to believe, as it seems many people still do, that blood is blue when it's in your body and only turns red when it hits open air. I still hear people say "look at your veins...they're blue..your bloods blue.". many still don't get the truth

I have an outie and up until 5th grade, I believed that everyone else had an outie too. The first time I saw an innie, I made fun of it. I was quickly corrected and I felt very stupid.

Bald people conduct electricity better.
One day I tested my theory...

My grandma told me that if I crossed my eyes to long, they would stay that way. I have not done it since.

I was told that when you lose a tooth if you don"t suck all the blood out, you'll have a gold tooth grow instead of a normal one. I found out after trying not to suck all the blood up that this was not true.
