My dad told me when I was little that if I kissed my elbow I would turn into a little boy. Of course it not only is physically impossible to kiss the tip of your elbow, but also to change your sex without surgery, but I was a kid, I did not know. I tried so hard to do that, but of course never succeeded.

I used to believe that peoples ears grew so that when the world blew up we would be able to fly away.

When i was around 5 or 6, whenever i heard my bones crack, i used to think that my bones are actaully cracking and breaking inside my body and i would have hysterical fits about this and think that i might die and all my mom would do is laugh. One day that really pissed me off i said to her"You b*tch i'm dying and your laughin!"

I don't remember this, but my mother likes to tell people: When I was little, my mom told me that if I didn't brush my teeth, they would fall out. One day I arrived at preschool and started crying. My mother asked what was wrong, and I said "I FORGOT TO BRUSH MY TEETH AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA FALL OUT". She told me it wasn't true, but I believed it for a long time anyway.

When my head was on my pillow at night and in the morning, I used to hear a steady, constant, heavy pounding. I was always afraid to go to sleep at night or get out of bed in the morning because I had believed it was an evil giant/monster/dinosaur stomping it's way towards our house to kill us all, until my dad finally told me it was just my heart beating.

When I was little, my grandfather used to amuse us kids by pushing his dentures out and then sucking them back in. Somehow, this just seemed like a normal thing and I couldn't figure why my mom couldn't do it when I asked her to.

I used to believe that darker skinned women had chocolate milk in their breasts and that white women had white milk in their breasts.

I used to think that after your fingers got all wrinkled and pruney for staying in the water to long, G-d's face was on your thumb(and fingers) and that's what G-d looked like.

One of my favorite games growing up, however dorky this may sound, was this game where we would put these stickers on the body to match the place they really went. (Actually, this game helped me later on in Biology class, even though i did fail.) All the different part were different colors so i just assumed that inside our body, these were the colors. I also assumed, becuase the game and the stickers were flat, our body parts were also two-dimensional. Soon after, i realiezed they weren't flat, but it took me a long time to figure out that they werent those colors. Even now i wonder...

I used to think that love came from the heart, that it just eminated from it. Of course now I know love comes from the brain. I think it is a common misconception among many children and adults today, though.

In dreams, I always had the ability to bite the side of my thumb off so I believed that I could when I was awake. I remember how surprised I was on the day I found out I couldn't. I went around asking people if they could.

I used to think that my tonsils were in my wrist because that's where they gave me the injection before starting my tonsilectomy
