When I was little my father would tell my brothers and me that he would cut off out balls in our sleep if we did not behave. I layed awake those night because I thought it was true.

My brother said that is you feel an earthquick-ish feeling in your foot it will turn blue.

my (then 24 year old) husband honestly believed that women do not have an adam's apple. after we had been together a few years, i made a reference to mine....you should have seen the look on his face!!! to this day, he refuses to touch my throat!

I'n a girl and when I was small, I used to think even the boys were the same 'down there'

I used to believe that armpits were called "monkey holes" because I'd heard my step brother say that. So I would seriously call armpits "monkey holes."

I used to believe in something called "foot suffocation"- where your foot falls off because it's been suffocated in a plastic bag for too long. I think a neighborhood boy convinced me of this...oddly, I never considered the fact that people wear shoes everyday without "foot suffocation" occurring!

I used to believe that if you breathed in too hard your lungs would stick together and stay that way. At least that's what my older sister told me.

i used to believe that when you pull out your own tooth you can wish on it. you can either throw it up on the roof or flush it on the toilet. if you don't do either, your tooth will haunt you forever. just in case if you you wish for something bigger or higher, pick the roof.

When I was young my brother used to be convinced he didnt have any internal organs. Im me and my sister tryed to convice him otherwise he would run off crying. The most disterbing part is that both my perants are in the medical profesion.

when i was little i had always been a little bit ancy around black people (no offense i was just little; im not prejudice)well one day my mom really wanted to know why i didnt want to go to talk to this girl in my religion class. i finally spilled the beans and cried to my mom that i was afraid of black peoples' purple tongues! i kept asking why they werent like our tongues and all she could do was laugh at me. then i came home and when i was on the phone with my dad i asked him that same question and he told me the truth. i still found it a bit of a mystery though...(until i actually saw that their tongues werent really purple!)

sara

I once had a dream that this man put on too much deoderent and he exploded. Very Graphical, I saw his arm land with blood spewing out. I was so scared that day I didn't put deorderent on for weeks. Boy did I smell.

my baby sister used to have large boobs and when she would wear shirts it would look as if she only had one huge boob that ran across her whole chest. i didnt know that they were two separate boobs... haha.

Laura

I use to think that the white stuff under your nails were how many times you lied. now i just know its scuffs on your finger nails.

Howard

When I was little my grandmother told me that when I lost my baby teeth they would be gone forever and I would have to walk around toothless for the rest of my life. I'm told I was extremely distraught over this and balled my eyes out.
