i used to believe that if you got sick you would blow up and spread your sickness around and eventually everyone would blow up.

I suppose this isn't really a belief but here goes...
In Sunday school last week ( yes it was last week)
us kids were having a big get together before we go to our classes as usual (our congregation has heaps of kids) and we were making a list of things to pray about and someone said their sister had the "start" of "Hunomia" which apparantly could kill you.
I found out later that my dad (one of the Sunday school teachers) had talked to the little gal's mum and she said it was a threat to get her slippers on.

My cousin told me worms from the dirt would go underneath your nails and lay eggs and when u bit them you would eat the eggs and then later when you went to the bathroom you would poop out live worms.

I thought that poison looks like a green liquid like it does in cartoons. I wondered how you could poison someone's food without them knowing since wouldn't they see the green color?

A couple of years ago, my mom said, "Dont crack your knuckles! You'll get Arthritis!"

I used to believe that if you walked outside in the cold with your shoes off you could get a cold.

One day my husband, toddler and I were taking a walk and my son was walking about 10 feet ahead of us when he tripped (on what I dont' know) and fell. Before I could even see if he was ok, or laugh, or do anything the little bugger ran up to me and kicked me in the shin!
Apparantley he figured I was the one who tripped him, from a yard away, lol!

when i was very little, I used to believe that people could throw up their heart...my older brothers thought it was a funny practical joke.

I pretty much still beleive because there is a full moon something bad will happen such as death and also i feel like when i go to the hospital that whatever other people have wrong, i will have wrong.

I used to belive that If you had dihorea people would come and cut a slice of your bum of.

I used to think that when I had to go to the doctors to get shots (wich was every other day I had to get like 10 because of a blood thing) was for being a bad little girl and every time a kid was bad, hey had to go get shots. And because my mom always felt bad for me that I had to get them, I thought it was the law that you HAD to! So I would poke myself with a pencil and hoped not to have to go get shots.

When i was little and i would get hurt i would go up to my mom and tell her that i broke my arm. She would say "hunny can you move". Well yeah mom. I found out later that it would just hurt really bad when you fell down.

I used to believe that those huge cone-shaped places where they store salt and sand in the winter were called "comas" and when a person went into a "coma" they were placed right in the middle of them on a hospital bed. Somehow I knew that they were "asleep" but for some reason they were placed in those cones.

I used to believe that needles were given for no good reason whatsoever. (But thankfully when I was young enough to believe such a thing, I actually liked needles.)

I used to believe that little men in a thermometer pushed the mercury up when the heat got too intense, they stopped moving up when they got back to the same temperature as in the medicine cabinet. (where we keep medical supplys)
