My Mum said that if you licked your lips, Mr North Wind would come and freeze them off... I still don't lick my lips...

I use to believe that a birthday suit was a actual suit and when my sis looked into the upstairs window she said it looks like Rich is in his birthday suit and then i said i want to see his birthday suit. Man that would of ruined my life! lmao

I used to think that love came from the heart, that it just eminated from it. Of course now I know love comes from the brain. I think it is a common misconception among many children and adults today, though.

When I was little I had lots of imaginary friends, and used different voices to pretend to be each of them. My mom told me that my voice would get stuck like that if I did it too often.

One day, (and I was like 3 and am female) my voice did change, and has been changed ever since, I swear!

i used to believe that the more i sucked my thumb the longer it would grow sooo much i would have to get it cut off

stupid thumb

I used to believe that when I grew up, my legs would be slim and elegant and utterly hairless, with dainty ankles and pretty knees. All the women on TV had nice legs and breasts, I knew that I was going to get breasts, and expected to get nice legs too.

I got the boobs, but my legs are still as stumpy as ever!

When I was real little, I remember thinking for a brief time that your age was in direct correlation with your shoe size, i.e., if you're 2, you wear a size 2; if you're 5, you wear a size 5. I have no idea how I came up with this...

I where about four years old and I happend to see my fathers private parts. I belived my dad had a door handle! I was so scared that dad had someone inside of him. I asked my mum and she explened to me about wee wees and pee pees for the first time. They still make jokes about this.

I once believed that if your hand is bigger than your face, it means you probably have AIDS. Isn't that ridiculous? I don't remember who told me that, but to whom ever said it, you're dumb.

When I was little, my uncle used to tell me that if I kept biting the center porttion of my upper lip, it would eventually grow to be the size of an apple or even a watermelon. Can you imagine... an apple size growth in the middle of your face!! :-)

Until I was about 11 or so, I used to believe that my maternal grandmother had pressed buttons into my cheeks at night as I slept (when I was a tiny baby). That is what she told me when I asked why I had dimples. I was very gullible as a small child ... and still am, so I am told. :-)

Growing up, my older brother collected gopher bones. He always told me that they were my baby bones, and that I lost them just like my teeth. My mom never told me the truth, I had to find out on my own when I got older and was very disapointed that my brother and mom would lie to me.

Karnin

i used to believe that my heart was actually in the shape of a heart but i found out that it wasnt

Cierra

i don't know where this one came from or how i started believing it but i used to think that is you went to bed with your socks on, they would stick to your feet.

Garymate

My mom told me that when somebody said, "shake your booty" it meant "shake your foot". She also said that my nightmares would come true if I didn't tell anyone.

Up untill i was about 5, I believed that if you unscrewed your nipple, your spirit will come out!

I was half listening to lamb chop, and they said something about an egg turns into a chicken, but I thought it said a leg, and for the longest time I had this huge phobia that my legs were randomly going to turn into chickens and walk away.

Niki

My daughter is 4 and no matter how many times I tell her otherwise, she still thinks her boobies are called "paddles". I don't know where she got this concept.
