body parts

i used to believe that if you sharpened your finger with a sharpener you would get a piece if pencil led on the tip of your finger you could write with(i got this idea from cartoons) one day i actually tried it, and soon found out that it didnt work that way...

When I was little, my grandmother told me not to cross my eyes because if a breeze blew in my face, my eyes would stay crossed. When she wasn't looking, I would cross my eyes and blow up into my eyes to see if my eyes would stay crossed.

I used to believe that whatever part of nature a person looked at longest, that's what color their eyes would be. I used to stare and stare at the sky, sure that I could feel my eyes were turning bluer.

When I was little I used to hear the expression "Did you use your marbles?" n order to secure that I would never lose my marbles I decide that plugging my ears with ear plugs would eliminate the possibility. I walked around with ear plugs as often as I could until I was seven and my parents told me the truth. They were laughing at first but then I guess decided it was sad.

When I was about 5, I thought that everyone started out as an "outie". Your belly button was a "turbo boost" button, that would make you run very fast. But you only got to do it once. Once you pressed it, it stayed in, and you were an "innie" for the rest of your life. The strange thing is that I actually have a memory of the time that I "used up" my turbo boost. It must be a false memory, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make my belly button come back out so that I could run fast again.

I was a bit of a cheeky monkey apparently (don't believe it for a minute) and I was often told I had more front than Selfridge's. (Has anyone else heard this, or was my Irish mother just strange?!) I wondered for ages where a person's Selfridge's were on their body, and whether it was normal for mine to be smaller than the front half of my body.

I was a very forgetful child and my parents would often say to me that I had a head like a sieve. I thought a sieve was some kind of weird insect that had an incredibly small brain and had no room to remember things and the things that it did remember leaked out of the antenae. The insects were red.

I used to think you were born with more than 2 sets of teeth because the roof of your mouth is bumpy...I thought those bumps were sets of teeth. Basically I thought you just kept losing and gaining new teeth all the time.

I used to believe that bald men had hair where their skin should be and skin where their hair should be.
I had a strange picture in my head of a yeti-type thing; hair covering all of his body except on his scalp, armpits and beard.

i used to believe that if you didn't shower or clean your belly button in the shower or bath, a plant would grow from the accumulated dirt in your belly button.

i also thought that babies were born from a woman's belly button and wondered why men didn't have babies because they have belly buttons too.

i still beleive that if you touch your belly button then it might unravel and u will bleed to death get. i really scared whenever someone touches there belly butotn and i makes me cringe to watch them, i cant touch mine either

When i was 3 or 4, my reliable freind explained to me that blonde people and ginger people were an evil race of alien invaders that couldn't quite get the "proper" hair colour right on their human disguises (me and my freind both had brown hair).
I always cower in abject terror every time my blonde "human" teacher talks to me...

I used to believe that when people with big ears got angry, their ears would go a rather nice shade of red and flap, thus enabling them to fly (obviously).
I swear I once saw Tony Blair ranting and raving in MY airspace!

I used to believe that the inside of us was totally empty. There was a stomach and some bones and blood, but basically we were just inflatable people. Also, I thought that when you swallowed something it could go anywhere, and land on a bone, and then you would die. And I knew that bones made blood, but I always wondered how the blood got out of there, so I figured the bones broke in half, dumped the blood out, then went back together.

My cousin kevin used to tell me my head had fallen off, I would then go looking for it under the table.....

i used to believe that when you had fitted braces people called them train track and i thought that little trains would go round your mouth so i always looked after my teeth and when i was in yr 3 my friend had braces and i asked what trains they were and now every1 laughd at me because of my belief!
