When I was young my brother used to be convinced he didnt have any internal organs. Im me and my sister tryed to convice him otherwise he would run off crying. The most disterbing part is that both my perants are in the medical profesion.

If you look really close at your tongue you can see the tastebuds. As A kid I used to think they were tentacles and the moved around

I used to believe that if you wore cowboy boots your toes were actually as pointy as the boots. All scrunched at the very top.

When I was younger I asked my mother what would happen if you didn't wake up a body part that had fallen asleep. She told me that it would dissappear! You never saw someone so intent on waking a body part like I was, all the while terrified I wasn't doing it quick enough and soon my arm/leg/hand, etc... would be gone!

You know when you yawn really wide a little squirt of spit comes out of your mouth? Well I used to think it was a little man in my throat that was always there with a water hose (that's why my mouth was always wet) and when I opened my mouth too wide the hose oversprayed and some of the water shot out.

When I was little my uncle had a huge adams apple. He told me he'd swallowed a marble.

I used to believe that people had one good ear and one bad ear. I couldn't hear in my left ear, and I thought it was completely normal. Then one day I saw my older sister switch the telephone receiver to her "other" ear! I was completely stunned! I must've been in second grade and I could not understand how she could do that. I asked my mom, and she explained to me that I couldn't hear in my left ear because of an ear infection years earlier...

After seeing my Grandma take out her false teeth, I believed that I could take out my own. I spent countless hours in front of the bathroom mirror trying to figure this out. Until someone clued me in.

I played the "I got your nose" game w/ my little brother when he was around 4. He really thought I had his nose, and begged that I give it back, so I put my thumb/"his nose" into my mouth, and pretended to eat and swallow it. He started crying and i had to get a mirror to show him his nose was still there.

When I was five, I thought those five pointy things on my hand were called "thingers." You know, thingers, to pick things up with.

I was always told that if I made rude faces and the wind changed direction, that my face would get stuck that way.

I used to believe that if someone pulled on your arms or legs too hard they would just pop right off! This happened to my baby dolls a lot!

I had a Grandpa with false teeth who would take them out and cajole me into trying to remove my own. I didn't figure out how he did this "magic" trick until I was about 10.

My four year old son came home from preschool and told me "did you know Miss Gail's Aunt has no meat on her bones?" He was shocked. Apparently he had overheard her telling someone how thin her Aunt was. I explained it was just an expression, but I'm not really sure what he thought about it.

A friend of the family had a gold tooth. I asked her how she got it. She said that when your tooth falls out, if you don't stick your tongue in the hole, your new tooth will be gold. Shortly after that, I lost my first tooth. I was very vigilant about not sticking my tongue in the hole where my tooth had been. But one day, without thinking, I stuck my tongue in the tooth hole. I was so disappointed knowing that now, I would never have a gold tooth.
