When I was little, my cousin told me my moles on my skin would eventually turn into actual moles that would claw out of my skin. I was afraid of my own moles for the longest time!

I used to believe that everyone had a different colored brain and (of course) I was the only one who could assign them a color. It usually coressponded to their favorite color though. :)

My brother used to tell me that the green line on the toe of his sock smelled like mint. After he made me smell his toes and I didn't smell mint he told me everyone else could and there was something wrong with my nose!

When I was 4 or 5 people used to tell me that I had a little and pretty nose and ask me where I got it ,my mom used to reply "from the bakery"!! I really belived her and when I used to hold my litte baby brother , I used to stare at his face and think about his nose whether he got it from the same bakery that I got mine from or not !!!

I used to believe that I had a naughty brain in my knee and a good brain in my arm, this belief was scrapped when I broke my arm and I still behaved like a good girl

I once went to the dentist and the hygenist tried to explain to me about bacteria and plaque--I ddn't believe that invisible bugs lived in my teeth and figured they was something made up by adults to scare kids into brushing their teeth.

When I was little, I believed that feelings were shaped like hoola-hoops and could be found inside your stomach.

When I was a young girl I happened to love carrots, and I ate a lot of them! With the logical sense of a child, I missed (or ignored) the part where I actually chewed the carrots, so I was convinced (and tried to convince everyone around me) that my ribs actually were the carrots I had been eating.

— Linda

I had a friend when I was younger who told me your tailbone was there because all people are born with tails, but they chop it off at the hospital before you come home. I asked my parents later that night if all humans once had a tail, and I guess they thought I meant millions of years ago so they told me humans did have tails at one point. I went around for years believing I once had a furry tail.

I use to believe that when someone said the word ear lobe there were actually saying ear loaf. so almost my entire life I was calling the ear lobe an ear loaf. sadly someone finally corrected me when I was in my early 20s. lmbo. how embarrassing. at first I didn't even believe them because how on earth could I have called it that all those years and not be corrected.

When I was really young, obviously before I'd ever seen someone hurt or cut... I used to believe that our blood was the same colour as our skin and that everyone had different coloured blood!

My mom told me never to cut my nails after dark cause "its bad luck". I kinda still believe it even if it is stupid:-)

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.
