I used to belive that ballet dancers had flat toes, so when they put on their shoes they would fit right.

Due to a lack of respect for my mother when I was much younger, my grandmother told me, that when I stick out my tongue to my mother at exactly 12.00 pm/am, I would freeze forever with that face (while my tongue is out)..I was so scared, I have never done it again..

I used to believe that a soul was a cone-shaped pearly object located somehwere in the chest cavity between the rib cage and lungs. I have no idea from where this image stems.

When I was little I couldn't figure out how people had earrings on their ears. I vaguely thought people had holes punched in their ears, but discarded that idea almost immediately. "Why would people punch holes in their ears?" I thought. I do not know when I learned the truth. Surprisingly enough, I now have my ears pierced!

When i was in second grade, a lot of kids in my class liked to say this one stupid joke.

One kid would ask another kid where someone or something was, and they would respond, "Up your butt and around the corner."

I actually believed that there was a corner up your butt. I thought that there was a bunch of corners, turns, stairs, doors, hallways... like a maze.

I used to think that my body was actually a mechanized vehicle, which was controlled by tiny people in my head and throughout my body. A man in a suit controls my body movements. Also, I thought that different parts of my body were housing different things. I thought my stomach was the cafeteria for the crew (LOL.) I also believed that whenever i got cut, the skin would be repaired by little engineers inside my skin. Finally learned the truth when we studied the human body in 8th grade.

I used to believe that your brain was a red rubber ball inside your head.

I used to believe that if u went out in the sun for too long your brain would melt and come out of your nose as snot.

When I was a kid I was amused that you could move your knee cap so I would do it constantly. So one dad my dad decided to tell me that if I kept doing it that my knee cap would fall off. So I wouldn't even touch my knee cap after that until my dad finally told me it wasn't true when I was 11.

I thought my brain would explode if it was in the sun too long

I used to believe that cuticles (that white part under your fingernails) were an indication of how big a liar you were. The bigger the cuticles, the more lies you told.

In order to put braces on they drilled holes throgh your teeth and stuck brackets in the holes My brother told me that right before i got my braces on and found out that they cement them on!!!!

When I was in the 1st grade...I think, we were learning how the body works and what it is made of. So I asked my aunt and she said "mostly bones and tissues" so I went back to school and told my teachers and all my classmates people were made out of toilet tissue. I was instantly corrected. I cried.

When I was little I found out that if I sucked on my arm I would get this big red mark.(hickey) So then I showed my mom and she told me if you ever get one of those they have to remove that body part because it was harmful... It scared the crap out of me for years!

Whe I was little I thought that being left handed meant that you didn't have a right hand. Found out the truth the first day of first grade when I told the teacher and the class that I could not do the Pledge of Allegiance since I did not have a right hand.I

I used to think there was an ant inside of my brain that controlled everything I did. Whenever I at Cheerios, I thought they were going to the ant.

I also thought that my heart pounding in my ears meant that there was a lion prowling around, trying to eat the ant in my brain.
