My youngest brother (age 10) was excited to learn my husband and I were expecting twin girls. One day he was sitting with my Mom asking questions about the babies. She had noticed he was thinking really hard. After a few minutes he asked "The babies will be half white and half black right?". My husband is Arican -American and I am white. My mom replied with "yes Dan they will" After a few more minutes he blurted out "Will the parts sticking out be black or white?" We never laughed so hard!

i use to believe that when you closed your eyes no one could see you. i was 5 and playing hide and seek with my 10 yr/ old sister. i was sooooooooo surprised when she found me so quick. i... sitting right there on the couch~hiding~with my eyes closed.
When I was about 3 or 4 I my mom would lay on her bed with me and pull her sweat pants over her belly button and claim it disappeared and pretend to panic. I freaked out every time she did it and even cried some times.

I used to believe that if we cried too much, our body would run out of water. So whenever I cried a lot, I would hurry and drink a glass of water.
When my sister was about two or three, my mother told her she has an eyeball in her bellybutton, and she believed she could see out of it.
She used to lift up her shirt to get a better look at things.
i was about 5 or so at the time..i had gotten more and more freckles and moles *like everyone is supposed to* Well, anyways, one day I went up to my sister and showed her what I had gotten. She looked at me and in one big scream she yells, "OH MY GOSH! You are turning into a chocolate moo cow!" Remember, being 5 or so....i believed her. I was devistated for about 3 years and thought I would become a cow. Luckily, I started crying about it once and ran to my mother and my mom yelled at my sister for telling me a lie. She got in trouble.

My sister told me that hair is just dead veins. I believed her, and told all my friends, they were disgusted, but they believed me too.
I loved touching people's belly buttons, one day there was a new girl in my class. She was the only 'chubby' person in my class. I asked my parents why and they told me coz she poked too many people's belly buttons. I dont let anyone go near mine or go near their's.
I used to believe that you only had a belly when u were older, and when i was 10 and i went swimming and my grandmother said look at your little belly i got worried and thought i was too young
I used to believe that your belly button was what held your top half to your bottom half...
My dad made me believe that he could tell wen I was lying or not. He'd tell me to stick out my tougne, if it was white I was telling the truth and if it was black I was lying.
I used to believe (and still do) that when you play with your belly button that it will come undone and everything will come out. So whenever my boyfriend touches my belly i freak out cause i don't want my belly to come undone!
Since I saw black people at the mall all of the time as a 4 year old, I thought that when you got old enough, you would change colors! one day I saw a little black girl about my age in a stroller and wondered if she was thinking about how I was still white.Then I asked my mom if the girl was a white boy as a baby, and she explained it to me.
I have a birthmark on my thigh, when I was young, I thought it was a dirt spot and I would always try to wash it off but it would never get clean. I thought I was taking a bath wrong

My dad told me when I was little that my belly button was "Where the Indian shot me"
When we were little I told my little sister that her butt was black. This made her cry and she would tell me that she didn't believe me. I would "prove" it by asking her if it wasn't true that her poop was dark. Since she couldn't really get a good look at her little behind (of course *I* wouldn't have suggested a mirror!) I almost succeeded in making her believe it.
When I was young and I first heard the term "box your ears" I always imagined someone taking a hole punch to someones earlobes and punching a hole through them. To this day, I still do not understand this term.
i used to believe that when i told a lie my eyes would turn purple,because that's what my daddy told me!!

I used to believe that if I stayed in the bathtub long enough, I would wrinkle up until I turned into a raisin.
I used to believe that if you pierced your belly button it would fall off and the piercers would glue a fake one on. (Thats how you got an outie). When I got mine pierced I asked if they could somehow keep mine as an innie and they laughed at me. I was soooo embarassed as my friend who has an outie had hers pierced and I thought that was how it happened!
