I used to believe even when I was in 8th grade{now I am in highschool} that as we grow, our heart,liver,intestines grow and one day I also asked my teacher that why ppl get the disorders like high blood pressure though there heart grows according to their body size? And at that time the whole class was laughing {except me} for 13 minutes and I am serious!

When I was a child, I used to believe that if I cut my nails at nighttime the mice could eat my nails and then change of mine. So I never cut my nails at nighttime.

In India most of the males have mustaches. Once I asked my dad whats this pointing towards his Adams Apple. He told me its the bone for mustaches. Next day I was telling every one in my school what adams apple is, they belived me.

My mum told me that if I didn't wash my ears then potatoes would grow in the dirt.

Once my father was sitting across from me at a table, and he said "look, my right hand is on this side, but your right hand is on that side, do you know why?" I answered, and believed, "because you're older!"

s.s.

When I was little and when I went to the doctors he used to check my ears (as usual) but he used to say that he could see onions and potatoes growing in them. After we'd leave i'd continuously ask my Mum if she could see anything growing. I actually still see my pediatrician (now 21 y/o) and he still try's to pull the same "funny" joke.

I used to believe when I was little that when people said I would grow into my nose that when I grew up I would have a really big head.

I used to believe that the belly and the stomach were two separate organs. One for storing food, the other for digesting it.

Once my dad told me that the end of the ulna (which is the part of the bone that slightly forms a buldge at the outer part of the wrist) is really a grape under my skin, and I believed him.

I used to believe that people got buck teeth when they talked a lot. My mother had a friend who talked a lot and her teeth stuck out, so I put two and two together. Made sense to me.

When I was younger, my mother had my lil brother and she breast fed. I always thought that one breast had white milk and the other had cholate. Funny. LOL

My grandpa and mom both used to tell me that if I didn't clean behind my ear that potatoes would grow there.

When I was little I somehow was under the impression that the word "balls" meant butt. One day in school I fell on my butt and I screamed out real loud "MY BALLS HURT!". I was real young, so only the teacher laughed.

I used to believe, as it seems many people still do, that blood is blue when it's in your body and only turns red when it hits open air. I still hear people say "look at your veins...they're blue..your bloods blue.". many still don't get the truth

I was told that when you lose a tooth if you don"t suck all the blood out, you'll have a gold tooth grow instead of a normal one. I found out after trying not to suck all the blood up that this was not true.

i used to believe that if you sharpened your finger with a sharpener you would get a piece if pencil led on the tip of your finger you could write with(i got this idea from cartoons) one day i actually tried it, and soon found out that it didnt work that way...

When I was little I used to hear the expression "Did you use your marbles?" n order to secure that I would never lose my marbles I decide that plugging my ears with ear plugs would eliminate the possibility. I walked around with ear plugs as often as I could until I was seven and my parents told me the truth. They were laughing at first but then I guess decided it was sad.

I was a bit of a cheeky monkey apparently (don't believe it for a minute) and I was often told I had more front than Selfridge's. (Has anyone else heard this, or was my Irish mother just strange?!) I wondered for ages where a person's Selfridge's were on their body, and whether it was normal for mine to be smaller than the front half of my body.
