body parts

When I was small, I remember watching my elderly grandmother take off her dentures to wash them. Then she would put them back in.
I was always confused as to why my teeth weren't able to come off but hers were!

I used to believe that if you wore socks to bed, your toes would fall off because they would get too hot and not be able to breathe. My friend's older sister told me this at a sleepover when I was 8 years old.

When I was 4 my Gram had false teeth. She would stick them out at me. Well the one day she did it I wentto my room and tried to pull my teeth ou. I went around my house for a week telling my mom I couldnt get my teeth out and they were stuck!

my pateint refused to allow me to extract his badly affected upper tooth, he actually believed his upper teeth were screws that fixed his upper jaw to his skull

When I was tiny, I loved to crawl under the table at restaraunts. I was at Pizza Hut with my mom, mammaw, and great-grandmother one day. I dove under the table and found out my very dignified great grandmother had stretchable skin!!! It was amazing! I figured out that as you aged, your skin stretched. It was pantyhose!

when i was little i had the worst habit of "eating" my hair. i would put it in my mouth and just chew on it. one day my dad told me that he heard on the news about a girl who died because she ended up having a huge hair ball in her stomach that blocked the path to other organs. this made complete sence to me and horrified me. throughout the next months i slowly decreased how much i "ate" my hair

My sister was told at a young age that if you crossed your eyes and someone hit you on the back, that they’d stay that way. Fast forward fifteen years at her high school graduation party when she found out that my mom was pulling her leg. Her friends still tease her about that. (So do I!)

When I was around 5, my mum would tell me if I ran after eating all my gets in my adbomen would turn upside down. Of course, i didnt believe her. Then one day, i ran after eating and then places my hand on ym stomach and felt my heartbeat. I was horrified.

I guy a dated in highschool has larger than normal ears. When he was little, his older cousin told him that if he ate ice cream it would make them bigger. For the longest time he would not eat ice cream so his ears would quit growing.

I believed, up until I had my first child, that the doctor actually knotted your babies belly button into an innie or an outie. I asked the doc to give my daughter an innie and was really embarassed to find out that that's not how it works!!!

I used to beleive that your belly button was like an on/off switch.
I would run around all lunch time at school pressing peoples bely buttons, or threatening the people I hated that I would press there's if they were mean to me.

I was not normal as a child.

I used to believe that every person saw colour completely differently. So, what looked like yellow to me actually looked like purple to someone else.
I really wanted to know about the colours that other people could see. I was kind of obsessed.

Triplet boys I used to nanny for would get upset if I rolled down the car windows on the way home from the barber...they told me they were afraid that the wind would "blow away their haircuts".

I used to believe that I was hollow inside except for my brain and a tube from my mouth to the exits. I think I mainly believed this because when I closed my eyes it was dark in there.

My grampa was a boxer and had a very big nose from breaking it multiple times.
Well when I was little I asked why his nose was so big, he said, because he broke it so many times they had to make him a new one and ordered the wrong size.

when I was little I was obsessed with my belly button (as every child is) and it used to grate on my grandmother's nerves to see me with my finger in my belly button. One day we were watching the news and those starving children in Africa were on it. They all had swollen bellies. That mean old woman told me that if I kept playing with my belly button, my belly would swell up like theirs and then blow up. I still cringe when I wash it.
