I used to believe that if I would lay on my back too long that my eyes would fall back into my head. Also, If I would lay on my stomach, my eyes would fall out.

one time when i was about 8 i used my mother's face cream (trying to be a grown up) and i got some in my eye and it hurt and stung. i told my brother about it and he told me i was going to go blind because of it. i didn't sleep all night and finally woke up my mom crying about how i would be blind before morning!

When I was little my older sister Silvia used to wear a black pirate patch over her right eye for fun.She always told me she lost her right eye in a bee bee gun accident.When I was 7yrs old she stoped wearing the patch for a while and I found out she was just joking about it.:) But to tell you the truth I actually thought it was cool having a big sister who woar an eye patch.lol

Because my mom and dad once told me that while they were shopping (I was about five or so) a woman had her eyes literally pop out and that this would happen to anyone who had big eyes. After a while they told me that I had big eyes and I shouldn't open them too wide or they'd pop out. It went so far that I was scared my eyes would pop out whenever I had a headache or my eyes hurt. Now I know it's not true.... At least I hope it's not...

I used to believe that if I closed my eyes and couldn't see anyone, then they couldn't see me either. I could never figure out why I was always found first when playing Hide and Seek!

I used to believe that if I couldnt see someone, they couldnt see me either. So when someone I didnt like would come over to speak to me, I would close my eyes.

My mother always told me that if I crossed my eyes, the elastic could snap and I'd be cross-eyed forever.

I used to believe that, when someone was crying her eyes out, or her heart out, that she really did and that I could find the eyes or heart (kind of like a red velvet pin cushion in a heart shape) in the room where it had happened.

i used to believe that the term "eye sockets" was literal -- and that eyes, by definition, plugged into your head like lamps plug into walls... i was always afraid that my eyes would pop out of my head and i wouldn't be able to plug them back in

I used to believe that if you couldn't see someone then they couldn't see you. If I didn't want someone to see me I'd close my eyes - boo it didn't work!

i used to believe that if i rolled my eyes while someone hit me on the back of the head, my eyes would stay that way. i tried like mad to get someone to hit me while i did that but no one would! i even tried to do it to myself, and when it didn't work i figured i wasn't hitting myself hard enough.

The first time I went on a roller coaster, my older brother told me that if I closed my eyes, the air pressure would suck them back into my head. So I had to do my frist roller coaster ride with my terrified eyes WIDE open for the whole trip!

When I was 5 at the beach with my parents, my dad got sand in his eye, so he took his eyeball out, cleaned it, and put it back in. I thought WOW, so thats how you clean your eyes. Years later I found out my Dad had a glass eye from a fireworks accident.

I used to believe that eyes where just like bubbles and if you where to touch them they would pop.

When I was little,about 5 or 6, I used to believe that if I shut my eyes no one could see me, or anything I did while my eyes were shut. So I'd break something and then shut my eyes thinking my mom couldn't see me and what I had just done. She would know it was me and not my sister because I would just stand there with my eyes shut, but I was so cute she never got mad at me and I never got punished. Sometimes I still like to pretend that when my eyes are shut I am invisible to all.

I believed that people who had blue eyes saw everything with a blue tint, and people who had green eyes saw everything with a green tint (kind of like sunglasses). I grew up in an urban area, where, let's say everyone had brown eyes - so they were the norm and could see all colors.

I used to think that if you flipped your eyelids inside out they would get stuck. I also used to think that rolling your eyes would cause them to get stuck in the back of your head.

I used to blieve that if you crossed your eyes and the wind changed direction, then your eyes would stay like that forever
