I used to believe that when I started menstruating, I would bleed to death from losing too much blood.

When I was young my mom and Grandma would always tell me every time your tummy rumbles it's because a gremlin lived in there and I was scared because of the movie Gremlins

I once asked my father why people yawn. He replied that it was "your body telling you to find shelter." I believed him for years.

When I was really little I used to believe that little mice would eat the food in my stomach and operate all the things inside of me. NO idea why

Someone once told me that if you kept your eyes open while you sneezed your eyes would pop out. After that my parents always saw me making the craziest faces trying to keep my eyes open while I sneezed.

When i was a child i used to believe that i became invisible when i covered my hands with my eyes.

i used to believe that everytime you hiccupped, your pine shot up an inch; making you taller

I used to believe that my blood would stop circulating around my body if I didnt use the foot pump, that was located in my foot, to pump it around!

I think I heard that the heart was a pump and just got a bit confused.

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.

When I was only about 3, I thought that blood was yellow, because earlier
I had popped a blister and yellowish-clear stuff came out. I thought that you
peed out the old blood and kept the new in your body until it got too old,
and I was always afraid that if I peed for too long, all my new blood would
come out and I wouldn't have enough blood. I always held in a little bit,
just in case it was new blood. I believed this for about a week until I cut
myself and thought something was wrong with me, and I screamed to my mom, "MOMMY,MOMMY! my blood is red!
Am I gonna die?!!!" Heh heh. :P :D :)

When I young (like Kindergarten age) I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, and, when I got out of bed to walk around, my feet were "asleep." I thought that the pain from walking on them when I got out of bed was the result of God punnishing me for getting out of bed... I thought God was trying to make me feel like I was stepping on nails!

I use to believe that the pulse you feel inside you wrist and your neck was really your heart moving from one place to another inside your body.

Yvonne

My daughter thought that ear wax was peanut butter.

someone told me that to get rid of the hiccups, you had to close your eyes, hold your nose, and draw a cow in the air.

My brother came up to me once and said, "Rachie, when does your booger-maker stop making boogers?" He thought that once you became an adult your booger-maker working.

When I was a kid my brother told me that boogers were parts of your brain falling out of your nose. I believed him but it didn't boter me. I just figured brains were supposed to fall out.

I thought that if I said "Excuse me" enough times, I would be even for all the times I burped as a baby and never said it. I must have said it at least 500,000 times until my teens or twenties just for good measure.

when I was about 4 or 5 and at my grandfathers house, i noticed that my mid-torso moved when i breathed. i thought that only adults were supposed to do that so i held a pillow against myself and took slow short breaths so the pillow wouldn't move (i was afriad someone would say something to me about it if it did). Even now i try not to move too much when i breathe.

When I was younger, about 5-8 years old, I believed anything that I thought, day dreamed, or make something in my head, that it would show up in a thought bubble for everyone to see what I was thinking.
