When I was a kid I believed that if I swallowed an apple seed it would start growing in my stomach. What silly things did you believe when you were a kid?

I have a couple of similar "beliefs". I thought that watermelon seeds could grow in your stomach, and that if you didn't clean your ears, potatoes could grow in the earwax. I'm sure the earwax one was passed down from the previous generation, because I have caught myself saying the same thing to my kids!

along the lines of an apple seed, my older brother and sister used to tell me that If I ate a whole bunch of corn on the cob, I could grow stalks of corn in my belly. Upon hearing this I continued to scarf down a few more corn on the cobs. =)

I used to believe when my parents were alive everything was black and white because of all the old movies I'd seen, but not only did I find out everything really wasn't black and white but I wasn't even in the right generation. I also once believed all cats were girls and all dogs were dogs were boys.

I believed that all nurses were women and all doctors were men. Similarly, I believed that all tigers were female and all lions were male. I believed in Santa, looking back with hindsight that was a bit silly! I believed that when you ate, all the food went down to your feet, and you only got full when the food started reaching your chest.

I believed that communists had bright red skin (this was around the time of the Cuban missile crisis so gimme a break here). I believed that when I turned 6 I would be able to run as fast as a car and be as big as a teenager (to this date, neither of those have happened).

My aunt told me that if I unbuttoned my belly button, my arms and legs would fall off. I believed it until I was around 7 or so.
