When I was about 5 I always asked my dad how he got such a big nose. He said "when I was little I put lit firecrackers up my nose and they made my nose big," liar.

My mom told me that I should bite my new shoes so that it will be comfortable and my feet won't get blisters. Although I never do it, I think it's some what true because my husband confirmed this.

I used to believe that men with excess belly fat had just eaten a huge meal, and they were so stuffed that their stomachs bulged. Following this, I also believed that women's stomachs were in their behinds.

I used to think if you blew your nose your brains would come out, so i always ran around with a snotty nose until i was like 10

I used to believe your eardrum was a little pile in your ear and if you stuck a q-tip too far in there you'd make it break off and tip over and if you turned your head to one side it'd roll out of your ear. After that where it broke off it'd bleed and then scab over into a new eardrum but you'd be deaf in that ear.

I never knew that the tooth grew back after you lost it, so I always was so scared when I got my first loose tooth and I always tried to put them back in..until the age of maybe about 10.
wierd..
My Grandad used to tell me on the 31st of December every year to look for the man with as many noses as there are days left in the year, 'you have to be quick he only comes out today'. For years I used to wait looking to see a man walk past with 365 noses.
I never did see him!

when i was younger i once saw my grandmother take her dentures out while getting ready for bed. i used to think that at a certain age we could take our teeth out of our mouths, and i would try it everyday. finally, after about a month or so of me trying to take out my teeth my father asked me what i was doing , so i told him i was trying to take out my teeth, and asked when htey would come out whole like grandma's.
When i was little i saw one of my grandma's take our her dentures which i had never seen anyone do before so i was totally scared of her for like a week because i thought she would get to close to me my teeth would fall out to, but mom explained to me that old people have dentures, so the next week i was sittin on my other grandmas lap and she smiled at me and i grabbed on to the front of her teeth and just pulled on, thinking i could just pull them out, but my other grandma didnt have dentures and also didn't appreciate me shoving my hand in her mouth!

Until I was in high school, I fully believed that if you were to take out your intestines, that it would be long enough to be wrapped around the earth.

When I was about 5 or so, my mom had taken me shopping with her. As we were walking down the sidewalk, and people would be passing us, I suddenly took notice that everyone who was walking -- even my own mom -- moved their arms in perfect sync with their legs. As their left leg stepped forward, their left arm also moved forward, in perfect sync -- and then the same with their right arm and right leg.
I was facinated, then began looking around to see if there was anyone who wasn't doing it. The only exceptions were when people were holding something -- but if their arm was free, it always moved in sync with their corresponding leg.
Finally, I looked up at my mom and asked, "Mommy, is it a law that people have to swing their arms next to their legs when they walk?"
Completely clueless to what I was talking about, she just answered, "Yes."
And so, for years afterwards, I truly thought it was a law!
How funny that when I grew up and learned about science, I discovered that it really WAS a law -- the physical LAW of nature!

When I was about 5 years old I had this book called "The Human Body" its was almost as tall as me and said how your body worked ... all different parts .. it was really cool , but in it , it would show for example the muscles in your arm and they were represented by little strings/ropes and they were being pulled by little men in what looked like train conductor overalls , and in the brain there were some really stressed out people answering telephone calls from allover your body .... I beleived for acouple of years that this was true and that your body was controlled by little people ... some of whom were wearing little train conductor overalls << I felt VERY bad for the ones who I saw in the "waste removal" section who sorted your poop and pee into sections according to colour and contents with big metal spoons ....

I used to think that if you didn't blow your nose and just sniffed the snot up, you head would blow up.
I once went to the dentist and the hygenist tried to explain to me about bacteria and plaque--I ddn't believe that invisible bugs lived in my teeth and figured they was something made up by adults to scare kids into brushing their teeth.

When i was about 13, my grandmother was visiting us, and it just happened to coincide with my mother asking me to go hang a load of wash out on the clothesline. I was baffled when I picked up my dad's jockstrap.. I was convinced that it must be one of my grandmother's bras.. and she must have been born single (center) breasted. It was several more years before i figured out what it actually was.

When I was four, I had lost my first tooth, and I cried for an hour or so, thinking I would never grow it back.

I used to believe that I had a naughty brain in my knee and a good brain in my arm, this belief was scrapped when I broke my arm and I still behaved like a good girl
