body parts: general

When I was 5 I used to lay my head down to my brother´s belly to listen to his bowels´ sounds / I now believe many if not every child does this/, but somehow these sounds made me picture the bowels looking like a big nice juicy slice of water melon. Today I am a doctor and sometimes when I am listening to peoples´ bowels sounds with a sthetoscope I recall the picture and have to smile and they don´t have a clue why.
P.S.1: This is another story - but you wouldn´t believe, what many grown people think of what human body looks like and functions inside - this could be a topic for another great site like this.
P.S.2: Excuse my English, I´m not a native speaker.

My grandfather had me convinced that my aunts and mother were well-endowed in the chest area because they blew on their thumbs all the time.

I tried and tried and tried.

It never worked!!

I thought that when the doctor tapped your knee to check your reflexes, that your leg was not suposed to move. I would hold it as still as possible. They never said anything was wrong with me.

My brother used to believe that for my father to take his false teeth out he pressed a button in his mouth and then held out his hand and they would shoot out of his mouth into his hand!

I used to believe that the soul was an actual physical organ of the body like the liver or the stomach.

It was yellow, and shaped like a lighning bolt. About 20cm long it sat just under the left brest.

I remember seeing a food commercial on TV. In it were a husband and wife discussing the food. The wife said, "And it's good for your budget!" As she said "budget", she touched his stomach. So I thought "budget" meant "stomach".

When I was a child, I thought I might lose a toe unconsciously. That's why I kept conting my toes before I fell into sleep every night. LOL.

i believed that if you did not wear your gloves when it was snowing that your hands would turn black and fall off!

My four year old son came home from preschool and told me "did you know Miss Gail's Aunt has no meat on her bones?" He was shocked. Apparently he had overheard her telling someone how thin her Aunt was. I explained it was just an expression, but I'm not really sure what he thought about it.

when i was little and i was having a bath my dad would always get the flannel and scrub behind my ears. i would say what are you doing and he told me that if i didn't wash behind my ears potatoes would grow behind there. every night i would wash behind my ears and if later i realised i hadnt washed behind my ears i would rush back to the bathroom to clean behind there.

When I was younger I use to belief that I could cut off my big toe and it would grow back. That's why it was bigger then the rest of my toes.

my little cousin used to think that my sister had to wear braces, or else her teeth would fall out!

When i was a kid around 9 -10 i was told i was a air head and that my grandmother could see light through the other side of my head (ear) one day at school i seen a little beam of light on my desk and thought the light was coming through my head (ear) lol little did i know that it was the light from the window next to me...

In dreams, I always had the ability to bite the side of my thumb off so I believed that I could when I was awake. I remember how surprised I was on the day I found out I couldn't. I went around asking people if they could.

when i was 6 my mom said some girls were sweat and some were sour so from then on I thought had candy in them so one day at school I kept folowing a girl and at the end of the day I bit her and i said really loud this taste like blood

i use to believe that every lady had a mole on the back of her neck when she grew up, cause my Mom had one.
