I thought that heart attacks were actually "hard attacks".

two pieces.

I used to believe that everyone has a vagina, and that vaginas are called penises. I didn't know the word 'vagina'.

My sister was convinced that men and women had balls because her sex-ed teacher told her so. I think she heard wrong.

My co-worker believed that one of the two testicles was actually at the head of the penis because they couldn't possibly both be at the bottom.

I used to believe that if I couldn't suck in my gut anymore, my belly would bulge out twice as much.

I used to believe that you could catch AIDS from just looking at a nud girl. Good thing I was WRONG

I used to think that if I ate too much junk food in one day, I'd get so fat that my belly would fill the whole sofa!

I used to believe breasts were pronounced "breests", vagina was pronounced "Vageena", uterus was pronounced "Ooterus", and pubic hair was "public hair".

I remember seeing a food commercial on TV. In it were a husband and wife discussing the food. The wife said, "And it's good for your budget!" As she said "budget", she touched his stomach. So I thought "budget" meant "stomach".

I used to think eyeshadow protected your eyes from the sun somehow.

For some inexplicable reason, I believed that a woman's ovaries were in her shoulders until I was about 6. I also asked my mother if I was pregnant every single time my shoulders hurt, because obviously they were connected.

My mom had scoliosis surgery as a teen and when she explained the huge scar that runs down her back I imagined her sitting upright on an exam table, the doctor opening her back like French doors, and climbing completely inside the hollow cavity to fix her spine with a wrench.

I believed shrimp was an organ because of a dream. My grandmother was going through several forms of cancer at the time and I was very stressed out. Not understanding what exactly was killing her, my stress dreams evolved constantly. One night I awoke sweating and crying and ran to my mom's room yelling about shrimp. I dreamed my grandmother was inside this metal machine at a hospital, and someone used a metal arm to pull her shrimp out of her. She was awake and screaming. My mom was very concerned about a little girl having such weird violent dreams so she assured me repetitively this wasn't real, but for some reason I still thought shrimp was an organ for years and would never eat it. I hate shrimp to this day.
