Noticing that saliva had a habit of squirting out of my mouth on occasion, I asked my mother about it, and referring to the sublingual salivary gland, she said that it was due to a gland beneath my tongue. However, I misheard "gland" as "clam," and the next time the gland unleashed a jet of saliva, I told my father that it was from a clam in my mouth.

I used to believe that snot was actually waste from your brain ("brain-poop") and that when you had a cold and your sinuses got stuffed up, it was your brain suffering constipation.

I decided one day when I was 5 or so that if you can breath through your mouth and nose you should be able to drink though your mouth and nose too. I had a big glass of grape juice and and straw. I put the straw up one nostril and inhaled deeply. I found out the hard way that this wouldn't work. I also found out that grape juice stains.

I used to think that if I rotated my body too many times in one direction it would get over-wound, kind of like a spring. So if my movements around the house had made me turn 360 degrees to the left, for example, I would then be forced to rotate 360 degrees to the right while standing on one spot.

When me and my brother were little, we used to burp a lot. My parents scared us by saying if we couldn't stop burping they woud give us "burp medicine" to stop it. My dad even put a bottle of something on the dinner table some nights. We had no idea what it was, but knew it would taste bad. So we stopped, not knowing it was just a threat, and they weren't really going to give us any. Not long after one of my mum's cousins (an adult) was having dinner with us. He burped, and me and my brother pointed out that he had to have the medicine. So he had a teaspoon of it. Several years later we learned that the medicine was glisserine.

My mother used to tell me that when you hiccuped, you grew. I was so small that I wouldn't let my hiccups quit so I would grow bigger, and eventually my stomach hurt so badly from the hiccups that I had to go home.
My Aunt used to tell me that if I cried too much, I would run out of tears.

I seem to remember the nuns at school (?!) telling us to take care NEVER to hold your nose when you sneezed, or your brains might squirt out your ears. This worried me...

My Dad used to tell me that the snot coming out of my nose was brain matter oozing out - that my nose would eventually quit running because I'd be out of brains!
My Mom let him deal with it when she found me sobbing uncontrollably later in the day ...

When I was little, I use to believe that the reason people stretched all the time was because if they sat too long they would shrink, so stretching was a way to get back the original size.

A younger student in my school and I and a teacher were talking, and the student asked the teacher if it was normal for girls to have wet dreams. We looked at her really confusedly, and told her that was not possible. She replied to us that it must be because she wakes up every day soaking wet in sweat.
When I was 10 my brother told me that if I didn't blow my nose and just sniffed, I would get hemorrhoids in my nose. I believed it.

When I was a young child, I used to believe that the inside of my body was like a factory, and there were these little tiny workmen all over in there. They would yell things to each other like "Lookout Joe, he's eating again! Get ready to move some food!" and then they would all jump into action, moving the food around on these complex conveyor belts and such.

Because the first black person I was ever around chewed tobacco and snuff, I used to believe that that Negros had brown spit.

i used to believe that there was a whole village of tiny people living inside of people. they carried the food around, moved the blood (they also caused heahaches w/ their tiny hammers) and when i went to sleep, they went to sleep and so on. one day i saw a skeleton that was marked with little numbers and that convinced me i was right and they wrote those numbers on the bones from the inside!

when I was five years old I thought that when you became an adult you stopped breathing. this was because I could see my own chest going up and down when I breathed- but I couldn't see any of the grownups chests move at all. guess I was too short.
I WAS TOLD IF YOU DON'T BRUSH YOUR TEETH THEY WILL FALL OUT. WHEN MY TEETH STARTED FALLING OUT I BRUSHED EVEN HARDER THINKING THAT WOULD KEEP THEM FROM FALLING OUT
