When people talked about serial killers, I thought that they put poison in your cereal

All the kids in my grade school class used to eat paper to be "cool". Who knows why. Anyway, my Mom told me that if I ate paper, I would have to have surgery on my butt. That scared me out of doing it and I promptly went around and told all the kids what my Mom had told me (since she is a nurse, she knew).

Kiedy byłam małą dziewczynką myślałam ze jak zjem wisienkę z pestką to urośnie mi drzewko w brzuszku i uszami bedą wychodzić mi liście, a jak bede starsza to wyrośnie mi korzeń z pupy i nie bede mogła się ruszać tylko mnie gdzieć posadzą.

I used to believe that eating raw potatoes would give you worms, like dogs get.

I used to take Ritalin when I was little. It was nasty stuff. Then I saw my first Pillsbury commercial. Because of the first five letters in the name, I though Pillsbury products contained actual pills.

We were sitting in the back of my dad's van when my sister spilled a little condiment package of pepper all over herself and the floor of the van. My father turned around and told her not to move, because the Pepper People would get her. She started to cry until we cleaned her up.

When I was in grade school, the latest craze in candy was Pop Rocks, a candy that fizzed and popped when you put it in your mouth. I was always told that if you ate Pop Rocks and drank soda that your stomach would explode. This comment was always preceded by "I head about this kid who...." One time I ate Pop Rocks and a minute later had a drink of Pepsi, only realizing after what I had done. For weeks I thought the food was just falling down inside me instead of going in my stomach. I kept waiting for the pain to start. :)

I believed until I was 18 that if I got tuna in the mayonaise jar, I would die the next time I ate it.

When I was younger, I went to a diner for breakfast and the waiter brought me a side of gritz. I really didnt like gritz and so he told me that if i didnt eat it quickly, it would turn into styrafoam. I didnt even think about it and i hav'nt for about 20 years.

When I was about 4 or so, I believed that Tapioca pudding was fish eggs. Then, when I was about 6 my sister told me I was gonna die because I ate a green potatoe chip.

I thought pink wafer biscuits would bite me if I touched them. Absolutely no idea why.

I used to believe that if you swallowed cherry pits, you would have a tree growing in your stomach.

When I was younger, about 5 or 6, I always used to eat hotdogs, and one day my mother said that if I kept on eating hotdogs one would grow out of my stomach! From that, I hardly ever ate hotdogs as often!

When I was very small (3 or so) I drank coffee because I thought it was hot stuff. Coincidentally I always ran around barefoot. My aunt told me that drinking coffee turns your feet black and of course I'd look down see my black feet and blame it on the coffee.

When I was in grade school a kid told me that eating dog food would give you worms. Why the hell would you eat dog food?
