My friend told her step-sister that the cat crapped in her eyes every night, explaining eye crusties. Her sister actually believed her until the cat died and she still got eye crusties.

When I was little, my mother insisted on me having bangs. Little kids don't usually look in mirrors, so I didn't know that bangs were hair. Whenever I went to get my hair cut, I would think that they were cutting the skin on my forehead and get upset.
i used 2 belive onley girls have eyelashes and if boyes have them they should have had them cut of at birth
In our family, my mother, sister, and I all have green eyes, while both of my brothers and my father have brown eyes. Naturally I concluded that brown eyes were for boys, and that girls didn't have them. The same was true in reverse for green eyes, which were for girls. Blue eyes, I suppose, could go either way, but nobody in my family has them. Also, since my mother wore glasses and my father did not, I assumed that wearing glasses was a woman thing, not for men.
There used to be an ad on the tv for after shave and it showed a man who was shaving and his face was on fire. I thought this looked cool and watched my dad shave every single morning waiting to see the fire. I couldnt understand how he never had fire on his face even though he didnt use after shave. I believed this until I was about 8 or 9.

When I was three I saw a National Geographic magazine featuring photos of starving children in Africa with distended abdomens. It got me to exploring my own abdomen-which appeared to have a hole in it (my belly button). I became hysterical thinking that all my food would fall out of the hole, that I would begin to stave to death and that my belly would stick out just like thise kids in the magazine. Everyone in my family had to show me their navel and assure me that their food had never fallen out through it.
When I was three I beleived that everyone's hair was made of clear strands but the color was created by tiny bugs running up and down each strand of hair so fast that they created a blur of color on each hair. The color of your hair was determined by the color of your hair bugs.
when i was little i used to think that your teeth had tiny hairs on them and if you didnt brush 'em food got stuck to 'em & it gave u cavities.one day i asked my dentist if when u get old your teeth hair fell out.he laughed histericaly & left the room to tell my mom
When my son was about 3 he came into the house excited to show me the penises that were growing in the yard. It happened to be mushrooms and I must admit there was a similarity!

I used to think that if i put conditioner in my hair before the shampoo my hair would fall out.
I was the only Native American in my whole school and the other children constantly call me names like Squaw or Darkie. When I cried to my mom one night, she told me that in the beginning the Creator decided he wanted people in the world so he broke sticks and put them in the oven, the first batch of sticks he took out where white people and he said, "you are too undone, I'll put you over there." and he put them in Europe. The second bunch he took out, he said, "you are too dark, I'll put you over there." and he placed them in Africa. The last batch he said, "you people are just right, you can stay right here." She then said some of the white and black sticks eventually made their way to our part of the world. For some reason, I felt better and it didn't bother me as much when the white sticks called me darkie because according to the Creator, I was just right.
My mother is a white person who grew up in Hawaii. She told me that everyone hated her because wasn't Asian; she was white and was a "Howlie".
I assumed this meant that they hated her because white people (in my mind) were really hairy and they looked like werewolves.
Actually, to this day, I don't really know if I'm not right.

When I was little my brother told me that We buy our brains at Dollar Stores.
When I was like two years old or something I used to beleive that my weewee would come off if I played with it.
I live next door to a family of 7. The two youngest in the family were 2 and 4 years old. The 2 year old saw me after I had gotten a haircut and said "Daniel, your hair's all gone!". I questioned her a bit, and it turned out that she thought that boys hair never grew, and that it was only girls who had to get haircuts. I set her straight, then walked inside the house and burst out laughing.
