i thought that scince "itch" rhymes with "which" the 2 were connectd. I always imagined a little pack of witches, on brooms, dressed in black, about half a millimeter tall, would flyaround, and when they got tired, they would land on you, and you'd itch.

When I was little, my sister had her ears peirced and I wanted them done but I was too young. So one day I asked her if I could change them for her. She went on and told me this whole story when a little girl had her sister change her earrings for her and her heasd fell off.. and I was scared to death for months.

After reading the story The Twits by Roald Dalh I thought that if my stomach was itchy it must mean I am dirty because that is what its says in the book. To this day eveytime my stomach gets an itch I think of that book!

I used to believe that mice lived in our bodies. They controlled where you looked, if you had an itch, it was the mice poking a stick where you had to itch, etc. This lasted for years until I started learning about the body.

My mom used to tell me that if I didn't wash my ears, potatoes would grow in them, so whenever we had potatoes for dinner i would always wonder whose ears they had come from.

A friend of mine in grade school who was 1/4 Native American thought that meant a measurable portion of her body--she believed she was "Indian up to her knees."

I used to think that the inside of people's heads was like the insides of a watermelon, with the white rind, the pink flesh and all the little black seeds.
There was a little boy that I didn't like and I desperately wanted to cut his head open with an axe to find out if my theory was correct.

When I was little I didn't know what saliva was, so i thought everyone had a different drink that appeared in their mouth, and i thought mine was water. I thought my dad's was orange juice.

your eyes change colour if you tell lies. Your brains will fall out if you pick your nose. My mum used to say she had eyes in the back of her head.

I used to believe that if you made a funny face and someone hit you in the back of the head, your face would stay like that.

Gotta love my mom :)

I used to believe we each had little flames inside and under our arms (so what if I couldn't see them), and that was why it was so warm there.

I begged my mother to let me pierce my ears when I was 5, and after a while, she agreed. As the day got closer, I heard that they'd be using an 'earring gun' to do the piercing. She found me crying, because I thought that it was a handgun loaded with an earring, and what if they missed my ear and got my face?

When I was 8 or so, I was convinced that "prosthesis" meant the same thing as "prophecy." Needless to say, I was teriffically confused when the school counselor read us a book about a little boy who had no hands....XD

I used to try to talk in a really deep voice when I was little because that's how my dad talked. My Papa told me if I kept it up my voice box would get stuck in low... I didn't talk deep again until I was in high school
