body parts

I used to believe that my immune system were a bunch of little soldiers

I used to believe…

id used to belive that there were belly button monster eaters

I used to think thats rats put those eye crusties there while I were asleep

when i was younger, my dad told me that if i unscrewed my belly button my butt would fall off. so i would always make sure not to fiddle with my belly button

Mom said that I was receiving angel kisses on my face during the night which caused my freckles. This freaked me out and I swear I could feel them. So I slapped and scratched my face alot.
this does explain a few things)I finally figured out that it was just the peach fuzz moving!

When I was little my sister told me that my mom was taking me to the dentist and then I would never have any teeth again. Fortunatly that didn't happen.

When I was about 3yrs, I fell asleep watching "The Wizard of Oz" after eating a lot of popcorn. My dad put a piece of popcorn in my belly button and suddenly woke me up, claiming I ate so much popcorn that it started coming out of me. For years I never had too much food, thinking that it would come out of my belly button.

I challenged my little brother to bite his ear. After twisting his head and whirling around in circles for ceaseless hours, he still remained convinced that he would eventually nibble that ear.

My dad would wear one of his 20 year old college shirts to bed and I always thought the wholes in the armpits were from my dad sweating so much, because he was always stinky

I only know this because my parents told me, but when I was really tiny, I thought skin color was a result of cleanliness. We lived in an all-white town for some reason, and the first time I saw an African-American, I told my mother (loudly), "That lady's all dirty." My mother was not thrilled.

When I would stumble as a little kid, my grandfather would say, "Look out! You'll slip and rupture your gizzard!" I didn't realize until I was 14 years old that humans have teeth, don't swallow stones in order to grind raw grain, and therefore, don't NEED gizzards.

When I was about three, I once heard my mom telling someone she was getting a perm and I thought a perm was some creature made of tangled hair and brains that lived in a dank green lagoon somewhere.

I used to think that there were little elf type creatures making my body functions work, such as slicing up my food better, tickeling my nose and beating up the germs.

My mom had me to believe that I only had a certain amount of tears in my tear duct, and if I used them all I wouldn't have any left for when I was older and really needed them.(that was just mean mother)

I used to believe that when I closed my eyes, my eyeballs would roll over so that they were looking inside my head. I wondered why I could never see my brain, but decided that it was too dark in there to see anything. I later believed that I had the power to see things even with my eyes closed. Of course I eventually figured out that I was squinting, not actually looking through my eyelids.

I used to believe that when a woman had a baby it came out through her belly button and when they cut the cord it would form into another belly button for the mum so if a woman had 7 children she would have seven belly buttons all on top of one another! Don't know where that came from...
