I used to believe ham came from hamsters. What's worse is I was totally fine with eating it!

My brother's friend told me when I was little that he had once found a snail in the crust of his pizza, in one of those crust bubbles. For years after that, I carefully dissected every crust bubble before eating my pizza.

I told my cousin who at the time was 6 that hot dogs were made out of wiener dogs (dachshunds). My Aunt told me a couple of years ago that my cousin wouldn’t eat hot dogs for the next three years. I was horrible. Sorry Cousin…forgive me?

A cousin of mine once told me that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, then I would have a whole watermelon grow in my tummy. Of course I believed her, since she was older than me, and from then on tried hard not to swallow any seeds. When I did, I was disappointed to not feel anything growing inside of me.

When I was little, my grandma got me to eat my vegetables by telling me that they were dinosaur food. Naturally, I proceeed to eat tiny broccoli trees, lettuce leaves, carrot logs, and celery branches. Unfortunaely, I did not know that "dinosaur food" only applied to what was on my plate. I later went out and sampled the leaves off the trees in my yard.

They tasted pretty gross, so I went back to only the food that was put on my plate.

I remember growing up and my dad eating a special cereal that we were allowed only to eat once in a while. Mom told us the name of the cereal was "Daddy Cereal" because it was only for him. When I got a job in high school, I asked my mom to tell me where to buy it (because I was making my own money). It was simple granola - to which I am pretty much addicted. And I still refer to it as "Daddy Cereal"

At my aunt's house, when I was little, I was always messing aroung- touching things, playing with things, even spilling things on the floor.

One day I was playing with neat-looking, push-button salt/pepper dispenser- pushing the black button and making pepper come out all over the floor.

My aunt saw me doing this, and told me to stop. She also said that this would, as she put it, 'make ants.'

By this, I thought that she meant that all the little granules of pepper that were coming out, were going to magically turn into ants if they got left there on the floor.
