When i was younger i used to believe that when i lost a tooth and touched the new one growing in that it would turn to gold.

I used to believe that if I breathed through my mouth too much my nose would stop working and I wouldn't be able to breathe through it ever again.

I used to think that because people always referred to losing teeth as the roots coming out, there were tiny trees in my mouth. So one day I lost my tooth and I screamed "NO, MY TREE WILL DIE NOW!!!"

Up until I was 14, I believed that any liquid that went into one ear would come out the other if you were laying on your side. That's why I was unsure when I put ear medicine in there.

I used to help my mom cook dinner every night. For the longest time I thought that people's "guts" were in a little plastic bag inside of them, just like the giblet bag in the chickens my mom would make for dinner.

When I was about 8 or 9 my dad had told me to hit his shin with my fist to feel how hard it was, then he would tell me that he had a metal bar put in his leg. When I would ask how or why he had a metal bar in his leg he would just laugh. Thinking he didn't want to talk about it I would just drop the subject. I wondered about that metal bar for quite a while. Now I know it was just his shin bone!

Aged 5 or so I believed that if I repeated every movement from my left side symmetrically on the right and vice versa, I would be able to maintain perfect bodily symmetry, and that when I'd ultimately die doctors would marvel at this during my autopsy. I knew the heart beats to the left and had experienced chocolate overdoses causing liver pain to the right, but I deliberately closed my mind to such conficting facts.

I used to think that when you popped your knuckles you would get arthritis or hurt your wrist and fingers, but being a physician now I know this to not be true

I used to believe that the lungs where tubes in the neck.

When I was a child I used to believe that if we throw the lost tooth up in the Sky the Sun will take it and replace it with a beatiful new one .

I used to believe my dentist could give me a shot to straighten my teeth and prevent cavities.

I remember that I used to think that people could survive without heads, as I have seen people without an arm or a leg, i thought It would be the same to amputae the head, as to amputate an arm or leg....I dont think I told anyone then...But then I went to school and cleared things out...
