body parts: general

I used to believe…

weh i was little at night when i was trying to fall asleep i could hear my heartbeat and i thought it was a tiny train going through my head from one ear to the other

When I was a little girl, I seen my younger cousin being changed && I was so confused that he didn't have parts lyke mine. So, I reported to everyone that Bradley had devoloped a tail && that if we didn't get him to the hospital, he may turn in to a dog. My grandma told me that all boy's had tails. I was amazed. So everytime we went out to town for w/e reason, I would exclaim to every boy I seen, "Do you have a tail lyke Bradleys?" Needless to say, didn't get out much until I was older.

Last Sunday at church, I was in the nursery with a couple of kids. When I held the toy stethoscope up to a little boy's chest, his brother told me, "Why are you doint that? Babies don't have hearts!!"

I used to believe that if you got hit in the head on your temples, that you would die in 5 minutes. No matter how soft the blow was. I always got really scared when i would accidentally hit my head there.

Once a boy in one of my classes, aged FIFTEEN, thought that the baby's umbilical cord was attached to the mother's bellybutton on the inside. Unluckily for him, he openly spoke about this in front of the whole class. He sure was embarassed when the rest of us and the teacher corrected him, and laughed for quite a while.

I used to think that all words for female private parts started with a B. I thought girls had boobs, a butt, and a 'bagina'. I found this to be a rather helpful way in remembering what girls had, and told a few of my classmates of mixed genders in second grade. They seemed to all agree that it was quite an outstanding coincidence. We called it "the three B's". I wonder when they figured it out...

I used to think that when a man came it was the wax coming off his penis. My older cousin used to tell me that a man could have babies as soon as he could get an erection. Imagine my fright when my wee brother had one when he was 2 months old

I used to believe that my tummy was a sort of museum and that everything I ate reconstituted itself inside my tummy. So you could theoretically walk around an exhibit showing everything I'd eaten.

when i was little i went to the dentist for a tooth out. when i got out i had all this red stuff in my mouth that tasted funny and my mum told me it was strawberry ribena. i never drank it again and it wasn't until a few years ago mum told me it was actully blood. i am now 23.

My Grandmother once told me she could unscrew her feet. I believed that for years.

I used to believe that when you thought really hard little white mice would run around your brain. I think this came from my mother saying whenever my dad was doing the accounts that the white mice where working

For some reason I used to think you could get a hangnail anywhere on your body and can remember asking my mom if she would look and see if I had a hangnail on my back.

when i was five i used to believe that in your body there were good germs that built walls of the food that you ate to stop them from drowning in the liquids that you drank.

when i was little i always asked my mom if my aunt had ant legs or people legs.

When I was a little kid I used to think that there was a river in your stomach. I thought that when you ate your food, the food just floated down the "river", and then if it goy stuck under a "bridge", that made you have "bathroom problems". When I went into 2nd grade I learned that wasn't necessarily true and that we chew up our food before you digest it.

When i was 2 1/2 or 3 I was drinking water out of a translucent plastic cup and couldn't understand what the 10 pink dots that i could see from the indide of the cup. Every time I put the cup down they dissappeared. It wasn't for several years later that I realized in retrospect that they were my fingers
