I used to belive my grandad used to take my nose. He would pretend to have taken it off my face with his fist then stick his thumb through his fingers and wiggle it, so it looked like a nose. I was 100% convinced that he had it and used to screem for him to give me nose back!

When I was younger I used to believe that when your baby teeth fell out, the next ones would be multi-coloured! I have no idea why! It was a very strange thing to think because, obviously, I'd never seen anybody with multi-coloured teeth. I just thought mine would be, for some reason!

When my cousin was three years old, we (my dad, sister, and I) convinced her that her nose became loose and fell of as baby teeth would. My sister (age 7) said that she already got her "grown-up" nose, and demonstrated by trying to move it back and forth. She purposely make it seem as if it didn't move. Then I (age 4) said that my nose was getting loose, and wiggled it a little. My cousin couldn't wait to get her "grown-up" nose.

When I was in kindergarted, there was an older girl at my school who had no arms due to a birth defect. For some reason, I thought that she used to have arms, but that she had lost them. I thought that if I was wasn't careful, I could lose my arms too. I was terrified, and I held my arms as close to my body as I could at all times. Finally my mother noticed I was acting strange, and she set me straight.

When I was small, a well-meaning neighbour told me that the hand you write with is your right hand, and the one that's left over is your left hand.

Guess who's left-handed? This left me thoroughly confused for many months!

After seeing the braces on our cousin's teeth, my (then five-year-old) brother informed our mom that when he was older, he was going to have "bracelets" on his teeth just like her. He thought they were a special kind of mouth jewelry.

When I was about 5, I used to think your heart was inside your belly!

This actually came from a student of mine... I teach an after school/summer camp program with Kindergarteners. After giving my "scissors are only for cutting paper" speech one day, a student raised his hand to share the following statement with the class on why it isn't safe to cut someone with scissors. "You can cut through your skin and under your skin is your bones. If you cut your bones, milk will squirt out all over the place and make a big mess!" (He must have heard drinking milk will make your bones grow and concluded it to mean that the milk people drink fills bones to make them strong.) At least he got some anatomy and heath information right.. well sort of. = )

i seriously used to believe that a person's soul was a big opal-colored oval in their hips. i have no idea how i came to this conclusion, but i still kind of think that. ...and i'm 15 now.

When I was small, I would talk to my belly. Sometimes my mom would say "Your belly wants carrots" and I would snap at her "MY BELLY DIDNT SAY THAT!" My belly always asked for ice cream....

When i was real little, i used to believe that the only way to tell a boy from a girl was by their eyelashes. I thought only girls had eyelashes and boys didnt, because that was the way it was on cartoons.

I used to believe that it was possible to make yourself not ticklish! I am EXTREMLY ticklish - any contact on my tummy or soles can feel like almost agony.

But stupidly when I was about 12 I let all my friends pin me down on my back with my arms up and tickle me non stop for 5 mins straight, no breaks
I was practicly in tears and TOTALY hysterical and frantic the whole time!

And I am still just as ticklish

When my son was about 3 he came into the house excited to show me the penises that were growing in the yard. It happened to be mushrooms and I must admit there was a similarity!
