This happened on the first warm spring day a couple years back, after a long winter of always having at least socks on his feet. My 2 1/2-year-old son was running around bare foot and suddenly looked down at his feet and said, "Mom, I've got finger nails on my toes!"

when i was little (about 5) i thought that my finger nails atached to my bones so id walk around with my arms straight thinking that if i bent my arms that my bomes would break i believed that till i went to kindergarden. stupid me!س

long fingernail deeds

When I got a wart on my finger I thought if it touched anywhere the wart would spread so I spent days bending my pinkie finger away from the others My mom noticed and told me I would bend the bone like that. For months I thought I had.

I used to believe that every time I went to buy shoes, I would need to get a half size bigger than my old shoe size.

Even now my shoes are a size 10, when really my feet are probably size 8.5 or 9. I'm too embarrassed to ask for one of the feet measuring things to find out what size I really need. And I kinda like having some extra room in my shoe anyhow.

When I was younger, I was watching a bugs bunny cartoon in which he was dressed as a ballerina. The mad scientist gave bugs a labodomy. For years I thought a labodomy was when male ballerinas had their male parts removed, so they could fit into their leotards.

I used to think that there were little elf type creatures making my body functions work, such as slicing up my food better, tickeling my nose and beating up the germs.

When I was about 5, I used to think your heart was inside your belly!

I used to believe that the vein that is under your tongue was called a "clucker" which is what made the noise when you "cluck" your tongue, and since chickens can make that sound, I thought since they were smaller the red gullet was their clucker

I couldn't discern the difference between the words "shoulder" and "soldier" which led to a bit of confusion at times. Like when somebody mentioned that their "soldier" hurt.

When I was young, I used to believe that when you swallow a fish bone, it will become part of your bone and you can grow faster and stronger with more bones.

When I was 5ish,6ish, I use to believe god had buckets of each of our body parts and would drop them down from heaven one by one.....first the skeleton,muscles, arms, legs, etc.....like we appeared from a star trek film.

When I was around 4 I was told that if I put my shoes on the wrong foot my feet would reverse.

I used to believe that people's teeth were like shark's teeth; that they just kept a new set available for when the next ones fell out or were pulled, the next tooth would grow into the space left, ad infinitum. I thought that the tooth fairy would really give me a lot of money when my adult incisors came out, because they were so big when compared to the others. I was quite upset when I found out that the second set was all you could get, and when they fell out, it was time for dentures. (I didn't want any of those, because my grandmother said hers hurt all the time.)

My parents always told me that when you make funny faces and the clock turns 12 your face would be that way forever.

I used to believe the bones in my arms were snakes.

I used to think that a broken leg was a whole leg broken
two pieces.

When I was little cut off shorts were the thing! So when someone said,"cut-off shorts" I thought they meant you actually had to cut off your legs!
