I used to believe in something called "foot suffocation"- where your foot falls off because it's been suffocated in a plastic bag for too long. I think a neighborhood boy convinced me of this...oddly, I never considered the fact that people wear shoes everyday without "foot suffocation" occurring!

i used to believe that when you pull out your own tooth you can wish on it. you can either throw it up on the roof or flush it on the toilet. if you don't do either, your tooth will haunt you forever. just in case if you you wish for something bigger or higher, pick the roof.

when i was little i had always been a little bit ancy around black people (no offense i was just little; im not prejudice)well one day my mom really wanted to know why i didnt want to go to talk to this girl in my religion class. i finally spilled the beans and cried to my mom that i was afraid of black peoples' purple tongues! i kept asking why they werent like our tongues and all she could do was laugh at me. then i came home and when i was on the phone with my dad i asked him that same question and he told me the truth. i still found it a bit of a mystery though...(until i actually saw that their tongues werent really purple!)
