When I was a young child, my mother told me Jesus Christ lived inside my heart. So I always took great care with my body. When I fell down, or was pushed, or hit, I always worried if Jesus who lived in my heart was ok too. I felt I had to look after Him carefully, since He lived in my heart,and I tried not to do any risky stunts, like jumping off swings, because I might hurt Jesus in the process.
When I was three years old my brother was pulling the reel type lawnmower (no motor) and I started to push on the roller and my hand slipped and I cut off part of my left index finger. The Dr. fixed it and when I asked if it would grow back he told me it would. I believed it would until I started school.

That if you pulled a funny face and the wind changed, you would stop like that. Strange child that I was, I spent many hours trying. Sadly it worked!

I used to believe that I was born with a monkey tail because my mom and grandmother both said i did
When I was six my mom told me that I am going to have to get my horns surgically removed before I 12 or they would grow into full antlers. I cried so hard she told me the truth that same day.
When we were little I told my little sister that her butt was black. This made her cry and she would tell me that she didn't believe me. I would "prove" it by asking her if it wasn't true that her poop was dark. Since she couldn't really get a good look at her little behind (of course *I* wouldn't have suggested a mirror!) I almost succeeded in making her believe it.
When I was young and I first heard the term "box your ears" I always imagined someone taking a hole punch to someones earlobes and punching a hole through them. To this day, I still do not understand this term.
I challenged my little brother to bite his ear. After twisting his head and whirling around in circles for ceaseless hours, he still remained convinced that he would eventually nibble that ear.

My mum told me that if I didn't wash my ears then potatoes would grow in the dirt.
I used to believe even when I was in 8th grade{now I am in highschool} that as we grow, our heart,liver,intestines grow and one day I also asked my teacher that why ppl get the disorders like high blood pressure though there heart grows according to their body size? And at that time the whole class was laughing {except me} for 13 minutes and I am serious!
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 used to believe that our buttocks are hollow and that all our internal organs i.e are stomach, liver, kidneys, lungs etc are placed there...now as a biology postgraduate i know better!!
i used to believe that snakes could come out of your butt if you didnt bathe for awhile
I used to believe that I could live in a world without conflict with other human beings. But I have learned that conflict is a part of the human condition, that it cannot be escaped. One can only learn how to deal with conflict constructively. I also believed that little people lived in my stomach, and when I swallowed my food, it came down to them, and then they ate it.
Until I was eight, I believed that humans could grow new replacement teeth throughout their lifetime. I found out the truth when a relative told me to take "good care of this set". I now brush twice daily.
When I was young, I saw some guys who were bodybuilders in the 80s and they had a lot of body hair. I heard my mom and some of my school teachers comment on them, saying, "Wow, look, they have a lot of muscles". I thought that "hair" only referred to the hair on top of your head, and that the word "muscles" was referring to their coincidental abundance of body hair. I asked them what "muscles" were, and they said that "muscles make you strong" and that I would get more muscles as I got older. I was with my Dad at the mall and saw a guy with a lot of body hair (not muscular though) and I said, "Dad, look- that guy has a lot of muscles!" and my Dad's feelings were hurt. He said, "Don't you think I have a lot of muscles?" he didn't have much body hair. I said, "I don't know." His feelings were hurt. One day, I grew a long hair on my arm and showed my Mom. I said, "Look at my big muscle!" and she laughed and said, "That's a hair!" and then I understood.
I used to believe that our bodies were hollow on the inside and that there was a big black crow that lived in our chest that was connect to chains. And everytime he move a chain that corresponded with a body part.
As a kid I used to believe when a body part fell asleep it was growing. It took me a while to realize that if that were true I would be something like 10 feet tall.
When I' was a little boy, I fell while cycling and I broke my 2 front teeth.After this, I went
in emergencies .Since this moment, I used to believe than If my mother kissed me on my wound, I would heal.Now I think than what I was thinking before I was very stupid but I am less afraid of getting hurt.
