When I was about four years old I used to believe that everyone could chose their sex and
I was disappointed when I discovered that I wasn’t “the one” who decided that I was borne as a girl.

When I was little I used to think that Smurfs held my body together and made it work. For example, I used to think that if someone was pulling on your arm, a bunch of little Smurfs would hold onto it to keep it from falling off.

I used to belive that when the docter hit my knee with that thing that I was supposed to kick my foot so one day I kicked it so hard that I kicked my doc and I actually hurt her.

When I was a child I remember being so intrigued by my parents bathroom stuff, especially the teeth in the cup. I thought having dentures and hemmoriods were something everyone got when they got older. To my mother's horror, I brought her dentures for show and tell and she had to come get them at school.

I have one on my stomach so was really confused and thought how awkward that must of been what with my stomach coming out first and thinking how flexible babies must be ha ha

i used to believe that if i licked my lips in public people would think i was sticking my tongue out at them and get mad at me. so i'd cover my mouth with my hand every time my lips got dry.

In secound grade, everyone in my class had to make finger prints on a sheet of paper because we were studying differant kinds of fingerprints.(arch, whirl, loop) When my prints showed up on the paper, they weren't all the same. A boy sitting next to me yelled this out to the class and said I was going to become a criminal. I belived him and started to cry.

my big toe is about the length of my big toenail longer than the rest of my toes..I first noticed this when I was three and when I asked my mom why it was different she told me that I wasn't born with my two big toes and that they used monkies toes for mine. I cried for about a week and after that I didn't like to change my socks because I would have to look at my monkey-feet

when i was little i had always been a little bit ancy around black people (no offense i was just little; im not prejudice)well one day my mom really wanted to know why i didnt want to go to talk to this girl in my religion class. i finally spilled the beans and cried to my mom that i was afraid of black peoples' purple tongues! i kept asking why they werent like our tongues and all she could do was laugh at me. then i came home and when i was on the phone with my dad i asked him that same question and he told me the truth. i still found it a bit of a mystery though...(until i actually saw that their tongues werent really purple!)

When I was little, my father told me that our bones are replaced every seven years (meaning that old bone is broken down and new bone grows, all the time). I took it literally and spent two years very worried that on my seventh birthday I would have to go see the doctor and get my bones replaced.

I used to have very bad lips, like very dry. My mum once said that if I licked them it would make them more dry, which I thought was stupid because obviously if you lick them it makes them more wet at the time. I didn't realise she was talking about the long term affects.

I was born with carpenters thumbs which are thumbs that basically look a lot like toes. So when I was little and asked my mom why my thumbs looked like my toes she replied by telling me "You were born with 6 toes on each foot and no thumbs, so the doctors decided to removed the extra toes and attach them to your hands so your life could be more normal." It scared me, but now that I know it's not true I can con other people into believing it. And they do!! :P
