My babysitters once told me that if I used Avon's Silicone Glove hand lotion, it would make my chest grow bigger. I used to cry and beg them not to make me put it on my dry chapped hands.

When I was a child my mom used to threaten me that if I bite others they can revenge me by applying sandal on the bitten spot so that all my teeth would fall off. One day I was frightened a lot after biting my sister that I was closing my mouth all day in the fear of losing my teeth and from that day I never bit others.

This happened on the first warm spring day a couple years back, after a long winter of always having at least socks on his feet. My 2 1/2-year-old son was running around bare foot and suddenly looked down at his feet and said, "Mom, I've got finger nails on my toes!"

I used to believe that every time I went to buy shoes, I would need to get a half size bigger than my old shoe size.

Even now my shoes are a size 10, when really my feet are probably size 8.5 or 9. I'm too embarrassed to ask for one of the feet measuring things to find out what size I really need. And I kinda like having some extra room in my shoe anyhow.

When I was younger, I was watching a bugs bunny cartoon in which he was dressed as a ballerina. The mad scientist gave bugs a labodomy. For years I thought a labodomy was when male ballerinas had their male parts removed, so they could fit into their leotards.

I used to think that there were little elf type creatures making my body functions work, such as slicing up my food better, tickeling my nose and beating up the germs.

I used to believe that the vein that is under your tongue was called a "clucker" which is what made the noise when you "cluck" your tongue, and since chickens can make that sound, I thought since they were smaller the red gullet was their clucker

I couldn't discern the difference between the words "shoulder" and "soldier" which led to a bit of confusion at times. Like when somebody mentioned that their "soldier" hurt.

When I was young, I used to believe that when you swallow a fish bone, it will become part of your bone and you can grow faster and stronger with more bones.

When I was around 4 I was told that if I put my shoes on the wrong foot my feet would reverse.

I used to believe that people's teeth were like shark's teeth; that they just kept a new set available for when the next ones fell out or were pulled, the next tooth would grow into the space left, ad infinitum. I thought that the tooth fairy would really give me a lot of money when my adult incisors came out, because they were so big when compared to the others. I was quite upset when I found out that the second set was all you could get, and when they fell out, it was time for dentures. (I didn't want any of those, because my grandmother said hers hurt all the time.)
