when I was small I believed that my tung was my portable candy, and my mouth was the box it carries in, and I thought that my foot was my hands it was so much fun trying to do a handstand all the time.

When I was five or six, I was worried that I'd lost my heart because I didn't hear it beating.

When I first saw a picture of the human anatomy, I thought the brain was really snot.

My Grandfather lost his finger in an accident long before Me and my sister were born. My Grandmother told us that she kept his finger stub in the bottom drawer of the bathroom. I suppose now that this was to keep us out of whatever she kept in there.

I used to think that if, after losing a tooth, I didn't touch the gap with the tounge or toothbrush or anything, it would grow in as a gold tooth, and that was the reason people in movies and cartoons had gold teeth. I wanted a gold tooth, but I never managed to keep my fingers out of my mouth after losing a tooth.

I used to beleive that everyone in my family had a different color blood. My blood was red, my sister's was yellow, my mom's was green, and my dad's was blue.

I didn't like brushing my teeth when I was around 6. Whenever my mom told me to brush my teeth, I'd start the daily argument of "If you put together ALL the times I brushed my teeth and add up all the time, I'm sure i've brushed my teeth enough for tonight."
After saying that enough I actually DID believe it and couldn't figure out why she kept telling me to brush my teeth.

Now I have clean teeth

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!

When I was three, my uncle said that if I pressed my nose, it would turn into a button. I believed him and never touched my nose... Then one day, my dad said it wasn't true and pushed my nose really hard. I cried for nearly an hour because I thought it had turn into a button... the only thing that made me stop was when my sister showed me her mirror!

I had my adenoids removed when I was 7, or rather as I believed, I had my asteroids taken out. I also believed that if you asked nicely they'd give you them in a jam jar to take home.

I used to believe that there were no organs in your body except for your heart and that it was just one big empty cavity.

I was told by my parents that if I lied to them they would know because my tongue would go black, I really thought that was true for years.

My dad told me that he had a 'dog poo warning trumpet' attached to his lips. When we walked down the street, everytime he saw dog poo he'd make a loud trumpet noise so we'd know to watch our feet! Although I don't believe it anymore, he still makes the trumpet noises 20 years on!

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...

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.

My husband and I have one son together. My son had a terrible habit of talking about his "balls". My husband taught him that they are not "balls", but testicles. Now wasn't that wonderful of him???????? He talks about them all of time and corrects anyone that says balls.
