My mother told me that the tooth fairy would only come if I brushed my teeth.

when i was 4 or 5 i REALLY wanted to be a lion. so around my house i would go up to sum1 and roar then go up and down the stairs with my hands in front of me. My maid kept saying that i didnt look like a lion so i borrowed my friends lion costume one day and messed my hair up so it would look like a mane and i go up to my maid and roar and say "do i look like a lion now??" and i stretched out my tongue and she says " ur tongue isnt long enough" so evryday i would stretch out my tongue till i was i finished second grade. I think thats why i have a really long tongue now.

I used to think if you blew your nose your brains would come out, so i always ran around with a snotty nose until i was like 10

My mom told me that I should bite my new shoes so that it will be comfortable and my feet won't get blisters. Although I never do it, I think it's some what true because my husband confirmed this.

I was born with my index and middle toes webbed together like my father's toes. People were always (and still are) fascinated by them and asked how they came to be. My dad always told me that when I was a toddler I'd eaten too much candy and they stuck together. That's what I always believed from then on and I could never understand why people would giggle when I'd repeat this.

My sister used to believe if you stuck a Q-Tip in one of her ears her brain would pop out the other ear.

Once when I was about 7 I hit my head on a porcelain sink bottom.....my mom ran in and screamed "oh, you split your head open!".....forever I was petrified my head would split in half and I would die.

I used to believe that if you were left-handed your heart was on the left side of your body and if you were right-handed the right side.

I thought my top ridges of my inner mouth were permantely wrinkled from sucking too much candy pops like it made my cheek lining wriknle temporary.

I used to have the very peculiar belief that my tonsils--indeed, the tonsils of all human beings--were located inside of the tongue. The proof I had? Tongues are covered in little bumps! Those bumps, I concluded, were actually tonsils. For the longest time, the idea of having one's tonsils removed confused me, because I couldn't figure out how the surgeons could manage to remove every single one. There were, after all, so many, so deeply imbedded in the tongue...

I'm not sure what set me straight. Strangely enough, I don't think it was a sore throat, even though that would've made my tonsils swollen. Perhaps it was actually catching tonsilitis, and gathering on the side that those fleshy pink things in the back of my throat were my tonsils... Though I doubt I admitted my revelation to the world.

Aged 5 or so I believed that if I repeated every movement from my left side symmetrically on the right and vice versa, I would be able to maintain perfect bodily symmetry, and that when I'd ultimately die doctors would marvel at this during my autopsy. I knew the heart beats to the left and had experienced chocolate overdoses causing liver pain to the right, but I deliberately closed my mind to such conficting facts.

your eyes change colour if you tell lies. Your brains will fall out if you pick your nose. My mum used to say she had eyes in the back of her head.

When I was a kid of 4 and 5, the one thing all of us kids believed, even some of the older kids in the neighbourhood, was that if the 'web' between our thumb and forefinger was cut in anyway we would die, and I had nightmares about falling into pieces like a cartoon character.

All through life, I always thought the lungs were located in your throat. I'm 25.

When i was a kid i hit my chin on a table and bit my tongue, jest enough to clause it to bleed. When i came home form the doctor's, i noticed the vertical line on my tongue. i thought it was a scar from biteing my tongue. i never wonderd why a horizontal bite wood clause a vertical scar.

When I was little my dad said that your ribs protect your heart. I thought this meant that if you touched your heart you would die instantly. So I found out my freshman year of highschool thats not true. I always wondered how they did open heart surgery

i thought getting circumcised was to get the head of the penis cut off

I grew up with baggy pants and low fitting pants, so for most of my life I thought my waist was where my hips are. It was my mom who finally explained to me that I am supposed to wear my pants higher. I never got out of the habit of wearing pants on my hip line.

Thanks a lot, dumb fads.
P.S. I am only 13 now.
