when i was little i thought that if you eat many sweeties, one day you can take your teeth out... just like false teeth.
as a matter of fact i used to believe that dentures were not false at all but that once you get old your gums get loose to the point that you can take them out.
i didn't like to brush my teeth and thought it would be easier that way.

I used to think that when you signed an organ donor card, they would come and take you away and take your organs out straight away. I remember watching my mum fill one in, getting really upset and running off with it and tearing it up! I didn't want them to come and kill her!

when i was a kid my grandfather had false teeth and could pop them out of his mouth whenever he wanted to. then i had a great-uncle who would come to visit who had a wooden leg and would take it off and prop it against the wall while he was sitting. i believed we all had removeable parts and spent tons of time trying to pull out my teeth or pop off limbs and digits - all to no avail!

I thought your soul was an organ that looked like your appendix. I thought it was located on the left side of your body,because somebody told me your appendix was on the right.

When I was very small,I thought that brains were three Duracell batteries stacked on top of each other(in a pyramid shape).If I remember correctly,I learned otherwise when my mother said something about someone having "lots of brains" and I asked how all the batteries fit.I think she and my grandmother laughed at me...

My mother told me that if I coughed too hard my lungs would flop out. So you must put your hand in front of your mouth to stop them otherwise they won't go back in again.

As a child I used to believe that niples were zits. And every time I saw a men without a t-shirt( since we lived in the place where it was quite hot during summer-there were a lot of people without ant t-shirts) I would be just grossed out. Boy I was frightened when I found out I had those too.

When my sister was very young, she had the idea that she could, with the help of a pencil, push a cotton ball in one ear and out the other. It of course became lodged tight and after my Ma's valiant efforts to extract it with a Shop-Vac, finally gave in and took her to the ER.

When I was about 8 or so, I heard that sharp blows to the head caused memory loss and possilbly brain damage. I would sit and whack myself in the head with sticks and fists and then ask myself a set of questions... what's your name, where so you live etc. and try figure out what I'd forgotten. What crucial information for my later development was contained in those vital brain cells we shall never know.

my mother always told my brother his brain was in his big toe. after he accidently stubbed his toe (badly) when he was 5, he came running in to mum telling her he had brain damage.

when i was little my mom told me my big tow was for balence. I took this very literally. i fell out of the car once and when my mom saw she asked, "Jessica, did you loose you balence?" Through the tears I said, "No mom," looking down, "I still have my big toe."

One time when I was 4 years old my parents played on a soft-ball team. I remember that this guy was injured and people helped him into our van and my dad drove him to the hospital.
When dad came back to take us home I was very afraid to get in the back of the van. There was a red blob in the back bigger than my fist. When my mom asked what was scaring me. I said "guts". I didn't know what "guts" looked like but for sure I believed that the blob in the back of the van was the injured player's "guts".
They were just a pair of socks rolled into a ball... but I believed they were "guts".

That if you pulled a funny face and the wind changed, you would stop like that. Strange child that I was, I spent many hours trying. Sadly it worked!

When I was a child,I believed that if I buried my top baby teeth under the ground,and threw my bottom baby teeth onto the roof,new teeth would grow in my mouth.

When I was a child, I believe that one of my tooth fell out, I put it under the pillow and a mouse called "perez" would come and exchange my tooth for some money.

My son told me the other day he used to have this thing about ears. Seems he used to think ears were a family trait (like a birthmark passed down). He thought it was something only our family had. Then he started to notice other people had ears too. He thought they were our relatives too.

I used to think that the butt was like two big water bags, especially my mother's. It seemed to move like my water balloons, like all over the place.

I used to believe that when you thought really hard little white mice would run around your brain. I think this came from my mother saying whenever my dad was doing the accounts that the white mice where working
