When my daughter got her first loose tooth we explained to her that it was her baby teeth.Once she lost her baby teeth(not alll of them only 2) she said she was glad it was only her teeth...But then i said why are you glad You still have your baby eyes they fall out like you teeth...when they fall out there is nothing there like when you loose your teeth and and then it grows in little by little then you'll have your grown up eyes-so from then on she started wiggling her eyes to see if they were loose!

when I was 6 i thought that (I have no idea how I started thinking this) if you squirted lemon juice in your eyes they would turn yellow. Having blonde hair I figuered that yellow eyes would match with my hair. One evening my family and I went to and fancy resturant. I ordered water with lemon slices in it. I took a peice and pressed it just above my eye and--well you can kind of picture what happened after that.
A week later being the logical kid i was, I took an orange slice and dripped the juice in my eyes. Again just try and picture the result.

In our family, it just so happened that the girls had brown eyes and the boys had blue eyes. I was sure that that was how you could tell if one was a boy or a girl.

My grandma told me that if I crossed my eyes to long, they would stay that way. I have not done it since.

When I was little, my grandmother told me not to cross my eyes because if a breeze blew in my face, my eyes would stay crossed. When she wasn't looking, I would cross my eyes and blow up into my eyes to see if my eyes would stay crossed.

I used to believe that whatever part of nature a person looked at longest, that's what color their eyes would be. I used to stare and stare at the sky, sure that I could feel my eyes were turning bluer.

I used to believe that blind people couldn't see because they could see air, and it got in the way. Hence, if they were in a vacuum or if scientists came up with glasses that took the air out of your vision they would all be able to see. Eventually, when I got glasses, I realized this made no sense.

When I was a little girl I used to think that boys and men didn't have eyelashes because Mickey Mouse doesn't have eyelashes. I found out when I tried to pull my dad's eyelashes and they wouldn't come out. I had thought they were fake.

this went on from 1nd to 6th grade, i always thought that if you sneezed with your eyes open that your eyes would pop out of your head a little bit. When i was in 5th grade a friend of mine said it happened to a friend of hers. when i was in 6th grade i was reading about Urban Myths and that was a big one. It said it was impossible for that to happen.

When I was little, I used to think that boys weren't supposed to have eyelahes and when I saw boys at school, I would wonder, "Why do they have eyelashes? Boys aren't supposed to have eyelashes!"

My friend told her step-sister that the cat crapped in her eyes every night, explaining eye crusties. Her sister actually believed her until the cat died and she still got eye crusties.

In our family, my mother, sister, and I all have green eyes, while both of my brothers and my father have brown eyes. Naturally I concluded that brown eyes were for boys, and that girls didn't have them. The same was true in reverse for green eyes, which were for girls. Blue eyes, I suppose, could go either way, but nobody in my family has them. Also, since my mother wore glasses and my father did not, I assumed that wearing glasses was a woman thing, not for men.

I remember standing outside and staring at the flower garden. And I noticed that every time I blinked, everything in my vision would shift slightly. And I blinked rapidly and saw the flowers gradually shifting to the right. I began freaking out, because I thought that if I kept blinking, eventually the whole picture would move away leaving only blackness and that's how I would become blind.
