Well you know the squiggly lines and things on the roof of your mouth? Well, I always thought they said something, so I always tried to move my tongue on them, trying to figure what the lines said. I did this for a few years and I even used a mirror sometimes to see, but I did this rarely because I knew that mirrors produce a reverse image. I'm fourteen now and sometimes I still try to see wat they say...or look like, at least.

I always believed that the thin dark line that ran from my belly button down to my whatsit was the line the doctor followed when he cut you to get the babies out. I later figured it was a birthmark.
I am pleased to say he cut the other way.

I used to think that after your fingers got all wrinkled and pruney for staying in the water to long, G-d's face was on your thumb(and fingers) and that's what G-d looked like.

i used to believe there were little guys in your nose who would bulid your boogers for you.

I used to believe that your mouth was like a sponge, and your saliva had sort of a fixed limit. So if you had a mouthful of saliva, and you swallowed it, it was like squeezing all the water from a sponge, and there wasn't any more.

I didn't want to have a permanently dry mouth, so whenever I salivated, I'd hold it in my mouth, wondering why it didn't get reabsorbed...

I used to believe that the only body in your body was your knee bone. That was probably because I was always falling over and grazing it!

I never knew what the purpose of an appendix was. Since the doctors are able to remove it I figured it wasn't that viable of a body part. My father told me that it was used for eating rocks, back in the caveman days. Since we don't eat rocks anymore doctors could remove it.

I never understood how we could get more blood either. My father explained that the body squeezes all of the organs it doesn't use anymore (like the appendix) and gets the blood from them.

I had both of these beliefs until high school.

My mom used to tell me that if I didn't brush my teeth everyday, my teeth would rott the next day. My dad even said that if I didn't brush my teeth everyday, a monster would come out of nowhere with a giant drill and drill out ALL of my teeth.

When I was an infant, I got stung by a mosquito on the ear, and to this day I have a lump of scar tissue the size of a pea in my right earlobe. I thought that everyone had lumps in their ears, and when I was about 7 I felt my left ear and was shocked to discover that the lump had somehow disappeared! My mom straightened me out.

i used to belive that if you smashed your hand in a roller your bones would be fine but your arm would be flat

I used to think that your teeth fell out because of little men inside your gums. The little men held on to the end of your ooth and when they got old they died and let go, allowing your tooth to fall out. A new tooth coming through ment that a new man had been placed there.

I used to think you were born with more than 2 sets of teeth because the roof of your mouth is bumpy...I thought those bumps were sets of teeth. Basically I thought you just kept losing and gaining new teeth all the time.

Once my dad told me that the end of the ulna (which is the part of the bone that slightly forms a buldge at the outer part of the wrist) is really a grape under my skin, and I believed him.

I used to believe that the belly and the stomach were two separate organs. One for storing food, the other for digesting it.

I used to believe that since people were filled with 3/4 water, it was dangerous to stand upside down because the water would rush to your head and possibly go in your lungs so you would drown. Years ago we found the book which pictured a little boy filled with water up to his shoulders and thats who I blame.

I used to try to talk in a really deep voice when I was little because that's how my dad talked. My Papa told me if I kept it up my voice box would get stuck in low... I didn't talk deep again until I was in high school

After your teeth fall out when you're a kid, your gums fall out. Then you get new gums and teeth.

My dad used to have this mole on the middle of his back. He told us that if we pushed it, his butt would fall off.

I was in the nursing home with my great grandma one time and I saw her teeth in a jar. They were just floating there, so I come up to my grandma ( My great grandma's kid) and said, " Grandma can you help me pull my teeth out they won't move when I yank on them!!" I was about 4-5 years old.

When i was about 4 I used to believe that boys testicles were actually 2 marbles covered in skin. I beleived this because a male friend had told me that this was what they were.
