I used to believe that after eating food it would come out of tiny holes at the end of my toes. This was the reason why shoes became too small and new ones were required!

When i was little there was a kid in my older rother's secondary school who was into body bulding. Also, the soles of his shoes were more worn on the outer edge than the inner edge! i thought it was because his arms were too heavy!

when i was little i used to think that tall people were always feeling dizzy because they would look down and saw the ground too far away from their heads.

After watching Pinnochio, I really thought my nose would grow if I lied. Whenever I told a lie I would rush to a mirror as soon as I was out of sight.

Allie

My sister used to tell me that she could take her head off and turn it around backwards. I would run out of the room screaming everytime she said she was going to do that.

i used to believe that my stomach was a huge theme park and therefore everything should be eaten in order to get into that theme park! i never put any food in the bin, and if i did i muttered some funny made up language which was the directions of how to get from the bin into my theme park stomach!!!! :)

i used to believe if you wore your socks to bed all the time your feet would fall off because they couldn't breath.

I used to believe that is you wore socks in bed your toes would drop off. The only exception was if you had verrucas, in which case the opposite was true. My mum insists she never said this, despite both my brothers also havind believed it.

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 believe that I had a carekeeper in my stomach. Everey time I ate, he took care of the food and put it in jars and then storaged it in shelves down there...I could really see him, he wore a hat, had a big belly, he had a mustasch and he yorned when he got hungry. I don´t know why I believed in such nonsens. No one told me, I just made it up my self.
Now days I know it´s not true....

When I was a child, I believed that there were little tiny people, so small that I couldn't see them, who lived on my body. When I took a bath, they all had to move onto the islands of my body so as not to drown. I would hold out my hand and let them "board" and move them to the rim of the tub for safety.

Susan

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.

When I was small, a well-meaning neighbour told me that the hand you write with is your right hand, and the one that's left over is your left hand.

Guess who's left-handed? This left me thoroughly confused for many months!

When I was younger, My dad used to have a moustache. Every time he shaved it, I asked him where it had gone. He told me that it had 'gone on holiday' it always came back within a few days so for years i believed him...hmmm...

i used to believe that all humans had small clear-colored sacks in their throats filled with blue tear-shaped drops. for each kiss given that day, you would lose one drop. if you used all 12 drops in one day, you would never be able to replenish them for the next day--thereby becoming eternally unkissable!

joanne

When I was young, I thought that only women's bosoms could have erection of the nipples (I knew it happened, I once walked in on my mom dressing). One day I got out of the tub and while my mom was drying me I noticed my nipples. I was horrified and I thought I was a Hermaphrodite. But I used the term "Two-Gendered! AAAAAH!" then my mom explained.

After witnessing my big brother losing a tooth, when I was 4, my dad let me in on a little secret. You start out with baby toes, but eventually you lose them and get your big toes.

I told my friends about it, and we all lived in fear that our toes were going to fall off!

Dragonflower

When I was five, I asked my dad why the right hand was called right. Was the left hand wrong or bad? He must have thought the question was funny, and told me that yes my left hand was my evil hand, and that is why I must do everything right handed. Ever since then, when I knowingly do something wrong, I do it left handed.

When I had realized that I had put my shoes on the wrong foot, I thought if i just crossed my legs no one would notice. They did. and I tripped myself a lot.

Mortimer Ex

I used to think that everyone had multiple hearts; wherever I felt a pulse, I assumed there was a heart pumping blood there.
