I used to believe that people with brown eyes saw the world in a more brownish way, and people with blue eyes saw the world in a more blueish way and so on, if you understand what I mean. ^^,

I was told by mum when I was little(and used to believe it until I was a teenager) that when you told a lie your eyes turned green!!
I used to believe that if I touched my pupil it would run into the white, like the yellow of the yolk runs into the white of an egg. This belief was challenged by the advent of contact lenses. As a child I had no eye infections because I never touched the inside of my eye!
I used to believe…
when i was younger, i got hit in the face in gym with a dodgeball or something. i kept crying not because my face hurt, but because i was convinced that my eyes were loose and were going to fall out.
I used to believe…
if you cross your eyes and there's a gush of wind, you'll get stuck like that !!

When I was a bout 3 or so, I was quite disturbed by two things
1: How come other people could move their eyes without moving their heads and I couldn't when I tried in the mirror
and
2: I thought that every couple of seconds I went temporarily blind. Later I found out I was blinking.

My aunt told me that when eating an orange if I was to accidentally eat some of the peel I would get worms in my eyes. I still avoid eating oranges.

I used to believe that people who had a different eye colour than me could see the world in different colors that I saw it :)
I used to believe…
My mother told me that my eyes would become square with watching too much TV. Every night before I went to bed, I used to pull the skin round my eyes just to make sure they hadn't gone square.

My belief (still) is if an eyelash goes in your eye and you lose sight of it it then goes behind your eye ball and gets stuck there (i have about 20 there now - and it panics me)
I have brown hair and brown eyes and when i was small i thought people with blonde hair had blonde eyes and people with ginger hair had ginger eyes.
It kind of makes sense !
I used to believe…
When ever I use to cry ( for no reason) my mother told me I would run out of tears and wont be able to cry anymore so I always tried to cry without using to much of my "tear supply"
I used to believe…
My eyes are brown and when I was 4 or 5 I wanted to have blue eyes. My aunt told me once that my eyes would only turn blue if I drank orange juice everyday. I hated it, but I made an effort. Nowadays I'm 24 and my eyes are still brown.

When I was a child my parents told me that If I didnt go to sleep when it was my bed time my eyes would pop out
i used to believe that the reason my granddad wore glasses was all down to the teaspoon he left in his cup of tea. I asked him one day, i was about 4 at the time, why he wore glasses and he said that it was because the teaspoon he always left in his cup of tea when he was drinking it always poked him in the eye!!!! I only found out about 4 days ago that it wasn't actually true, and i'm 25 now!!!!

When I was younger I could never grasp the idea of a person being colour blind, I didnt understand how this worked, did they only see in black and white? a little while later I learned a little more and it still confuses me today. Green-Red, Red-Green, pff, who knows.
I used to believe that when you closed you eyes you were invisible and no-one could see you!
I used to think that people saw the world in their own unique colors. For instance, to me, the grass was green, and what I called green was my own special tint and shade. Someone else, however, may see the grass as the color that I called orange, but to them, orange was green. I wondered if there were some kind of scientific test that could be done to figure this all out. I was going to be the world's greatest scientist LOLOL

One kid I know believed that because I wear glasses, it wouldn't hurt if he poked my eye.
I was told that if you crossed your eyes and the wind change your eyes would stay crossed!
