Due the the fact that my Mother had two children and two breasts, I believed the neighbor who had 3 children, had 3 breasts.
Until I was about 6 I always freaked out if I got any cut that bled. It was not until my dad explained to me that my body would make more that I finally was able to rest easy after bleeding. You see, I thought that the blood that was in my body was given to me at birth and it was all I would ever have, thus if I lost it it was gone forever.

When I was in 6th grade, my male teacher told the class that he had testicular cancer- from that point until I actually saw a penis- I thought they were green and slimy like I pictured cancer...

I believed that men and women were the same without pants, except that women did not have testicles, just the penis.
When I was around 10 and was finally starting to grow boobs, (yes they were mosquitoe bites, but they hurt like HELL!) I thought that I was getting breast cancer. Of course I was too embarrased to ask about it, so this went on for about a year. I actually thought that because one side was growing more, and hurt more than the other, that I definitely had cancer on that side.

When I was six or seven I was led to believe that if I were to swallow my baby teeth they would start to grow on my bum.
I believed that all of my blood was stored in the calves of my legs.
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.
I used to believe that young boys belly buttons would soon change into there willys...
When I first started to develop my breasts I thought it meant I was producing milk
"Chassis" is slang for a woman's body, especially her genitalia.
I believed that I had a fake right big toe, having lost my real one in the plug holder (thanks Helen!)
I believed until the age of 23 that lungs were hollow, and that if you had a collapsed lung that meant it went all shrivelled like a balloon
When I was a kid my dad told me that if I lost a tooth I should put it in a glass of water, because it would transform into a coin when it was night. I was depressed when I found out that this wasn't true...
I was always told that if I made rude faces and the wind changed direction, that my face would get stuck that way.
when i was about 6 or 7 my family use to say to all the children that if they poked there tongue out a man would come along and chop it off. And they even used to curl there tongue up to make it look like half of it was missing. Its scared me i didn't want half a tongue:o(. Well safe to say i didn't poke my tongue out for years after that..tee hee
I have two small moles on each side of the back of my neck. I hated
them, so I told my mom I was going to pick them off. She told me I
would bleed to death!
