One day my friend's tooth fell and he swallowed it , and his father said it would grow a teeth tree inside him, and after this I never swallowed a tooth.

I used to be very thin when I was a little kid, I was so thin you could see my ribs. I remember once, I first noticed my ribs when I was getting out of the bath tub, I looked in the mirror, and saw what I thought were little wings, that were inside of me, pressing against my skin, ready to POP out, that thought scared me so bad. (Scene changes to Vacation Bible School) Shortly after the incident in the bathroom, I would be careful not to have pressure on my stomach, for fear those "wings" would pop out. In Bible School that day, the girls were supposed to sing some song, and were supposed to play as Angels. The boys got to play with animal puppet things, I was afraid, that if I was to sing with the other "Angels" it would cause my "wings" to pop out, and besides that, I wanted to play with the puppets, so when the song came on, I refused to sing, I sat there, with my arms crossed, when the teacher noticed, and came up to me, to ask me to sing, I felt a strange pressure in my stomach (At the time, I thought it was from hearing the music. I later realized that was because I didn't get anything to eat that morning) I was thinking "Oh no, this is it!" and I almost cried, then the teacher said she was going to replay the song until I sang with the rest of the girls, that's when I exploded (not literally) I was so mad, I started screaming and when they told me to calm down, so I can sing with the rest of the "Angels" I screamed "I don't want to be an Angel!" I ran to the puppets and grabbed them, and tried to crawl under a desk and play with them, I saw the teacher leave, and I sat there thinking "Thank the Lord, that B**** is gone." I was sure I was going to be left alone, until the teacher came back in, and started settling down the other kids, not 30 minutes after, my mom comes in the room, and makes me get out from under the table, the teacher never said anything to me, just talked to my mom, who came to get me early, because of what I did. Then mom grabbed my arm and started pulling me from the class room, I turned towards the teacher and said "I want to finger-paint here tomorrow!" and when mom and I were outside, she looked at me and said "You are going to Hell, I know it...." By the way, I never got to finger-paint the next day, I haven't been to Bible school since. All because of my stupid wings, I mean ribs....Oh well, I can't see them anymore! ; )

i thought that scince "itch" rhymes with "which" the 2 were connectd. I always imagined a little pack of witches, on brooms, dressed in black, about half a millimeter tall, would flyaround, and when they got tired, they would land on you, and you'd itch.

I didn't know whether nail files were supposed to make your nails sharper or duller.

When I was little, my sister had her ears peirced and I wanted them done but I was too young. So one day I asked her if I could change them for her. She went on and told me this whole story when a little girl had her sister change her earrings for her and her heasd fell off.. and I was scared to death for months.

I used to think that instead of bones and blood and tissue that you body was made up of tuna.

After reading the story The Twits by Roald Dalh I thought that if my stomach was itchy it must mean I am dirty because that is what its says in the book. To this day eveytime my stomach gets an itch I think of that book!

I used to believe that mice lived in our bodies. They controlled where you looked, if you had an itch, it was the mice poking a stick where you had to itch, etc. This lasted for years until I started learning about the body.

When I was little I didn't know what saliva was, so i thought everyone had a different drink that appeared in their mouth, and i thought mine was water. I thought my dad's was orange juice.

your eyes change colour if you tell lies. Your brains will fall out if you pick your nose. My mum used to say she had eyes in the back of her head.

I used to think that if you cut your leg in half, it would look like a cucumber!!!

After your teeth fall out when you're a kid, your gums fall out. Then you get new gums and teeth.

i don't know where this one came from or how i started believing it but i used to think that is you went to bed with your socks on, they would stick to your feet.

I used to believe that if you made a funny face and someone hit you in the back of the head, your face would stay like that.

Gotta love my mom :)

I used to believe we each had little flames inside and under our arms (so what if I couldn't see them), and that was why it was so warm there.

I begged my mother to let me pierce my ears when I was 5, and after a while, she agreed. As the day got closer, I heard that they'd be using an 'earring gun' to do the piercing. She found me crying, because I thought that it was a handgun loaded with an earring, and what if they missed my ear and got my face?

When I was 8 or so, I was convinced that "prosthesis" meant the same thing as "prophecy." Needless to say, I was teriffically confused when the school counselor read us a book about a little boy who had no hands....XD
