body parts

I once heard my aunt tell her sister that she wanted a Farrah Fawcett hair-do and I thought she wanted her hair to stand up and swoosh out like water coming out of a faucet.

i used to believe that depending on your eye color, you saw things in a different tint... i asked my grandma what color she saw the sky and when it was the same i realized i was wrong.

When I was little I used to chew on my hair a lot. One day my friend told me that if I kept it up, my hair would turn into snakes. Never done it sence.

I used to think babies came out of belly buttons

When i was young i had some friends who were black. I was amazed to find that although they were completely dark they had white hands and feet. I just assumed that they must of been leaning against the wall when god painted them

I grew up very sheltered. I argured for over a year with my girlfriend about the coloring of African Americans bottoms. I told her that I had proof that they were white. The Coppertone Ads on Billboards proved it. One day while at our local park a young gal was there and we asked her. She showed us her butt to prove that I was a kook. To this day, I can't believe that I not only believed this, but that I had the gall to ask.

I used to think that if I did not put copious amounts of vaseline on my eyebrows they would blow off. I must have looked like some sort of a nut with my greasy brows and pigtails! My parents never stopped me...what were they thinking?

For some reason...unbeknownst to us all, my grandmother told us that if we ever kissed our elbow we would turn into the opposite sex. I had no idea what that was about since we had never tried such a thing! I don't even know if it can be done. I am ashamed to say, I have always been afraid to try on the off chance I make contact! :-)

When I was about 5, my grandmother told me if I didn't stop poking my little brother in the stomach I could accientally unbutton his belly-button, and his butt would fall off. For 2 years I yelled whenever anyone approached our stomachs.

Being the curious sort I used to ask my dad what belly buttons were for. He told me that it was where he was shot by an arrow when he was little while playng cowboys and indians. Naturally, I refused to play cowboys and indians with friends and insisted on cops and robbers instead. I do remember thinking I was getting a raw deal as I did not get to play with a bow and arrow.

My mom told me that if I picked at my belly button, it would unravel and all my innards would fall out.

After watching the movie "The Secret Garden", I really did think that hair kept growing even after you were dead..

I used to believe…

up until the age of 21 I didn't understand what a "five o'clock shadow," was. When I was little, at some point having learned a bit about sun dials, I figured that that must have meant men's shadows always "pointed," towards five o'clock.

When I smelled something bad, my Mom used to say it was my upper lip. I actually believed that. I know she was cracking up inside watching me lift my upper lip to my nose to smell it all those years.

I was always told that if anyone was to put their finger in my belly button my bum would fall off!!thanx mum!!

When i was a kid i thought that my head was filled with flies. i thought that if i hit my head really hard it would break open and all the flies would fly out. i figured that all the little brains they had is what made up a persons one big brain.
