When I was little I believed little men and little women worked inside my body to make everything work.

i used to belive that if i fell on my head my head would come off while i was doing a cartwheel

My 4 year-old cousin thinks that any area of your head above your eyes(both internal and external) is your brain, so when she saw that I had a small scar on my forehead, she thought my brain had split open and she was very upset.

The very first time when I was old enough to use the toilet myself to do the "number 2", I looked at my hips and they were so huge that I thought there was a baby inside each of my hips!

my brother told me that if i ride my bike with my mouth open i will swallow my tounge.

after watching cartoons i was convinced that we all had outlines....i mean....if we didnt have outlines....what could possibly keep all our organs in right? ;) i searched for my outline...i was almost convinced that i found my outline :D

i used to believe that people were made of hotdogs. like if you got a finger or a limb cut off, there wouldn't be bones or veins or anything. just "meat".
but if you got your head cut off there would be a tube in the middle of the hotdog, like those cheese filled ones...

I used to believe that you only had a belly when u were older, and when i was 10 and i went swimming and my grandmother said look at your little belly i got worried and thought i was too young

I used to think that only girls had pink fingernails because they painted them. One night I was round a friend's house and I noticed my own nails, and was pretty freaked out, because they were pink. I think I went skittling to my mum about it.

When I was about 5 or 6, I assumed that since blood was red, it was strawberry flavored. My siblings and cousins must have thought I was crazy when I asked if I could lick their cuts.

i used to believe my mum had 3 feet because once there where 3 of her socks drying on the radiator and i couldnt work out that they were just odd socks so when i asked her why there were 3 she jokingly told me she had 3 feet! i believed it for years!

When i was real little, i used to believe that the only way to tell a boy from a girl was by their eyelashes. I thought only girls had eyelashes and boys didnt, because that was the way it was on cartoons.

Mickey

I use to believe that hair wigs and press-on nails used to come from dead people. I would never wear any. Even up to today if i require long hair and fingernails I much prefer to grow my own.

I remember learning the names of body parts, and being confused about my mouth. I thought it was called my "face". I had probably heard about "smiling faces" or "a smile on your face", and assumed that the part that does the smiling, with the lips and teeth, was called the face.

When I was about 8 or 9 my dad had told me to hit his shin with my fist to feel how hard it was, then he would tell me that he had a metal bar put in his leg. When I would ask how or why he had a metal bar in his leg he would just laugh. Thinking he didn't want to talk about it I would just drop the subject. I wondered about that metal bar for quite a while. Now I know it was just his shin bone!

I used to believe that if I breathed through my mouth too much my nose would stop working and I wouldn't be able to breathe through it ever again.

Karie

I begged my mother to let me pierce my ears when I was 5, and after a while, she agreed. As the day got closer, I heard that they'd be using an 'earring gun' to do the piercing. She found me crying, because I thought that it was a handgun loaded with an earring, and what if they missed my ear and got my face?

Alice

When I was a kid I was amused that you could move your knee cap so I would do it constantly. So one dad my dad decided to tell me that if I kept doing it that my knee cap would fall off. So I wouldn't even touch my knee cap after that until my dad finally told me it wasn't true when I was 11.

Due to a lack of respect for my mother when I was much younger, my grandmother told me, that when I stick out my tongue to my mother at exactly 12.00 pm/am, I would freeze forever with that face (while my tongue is out)..I was so scared, I have never done it again..
