To get me to eat my veggies, my mom told me that rabbits could see really well in the dark, like night vision, because they ate so many carrots. I would watch my pet rabbit, Ozzy, at night to see if he did anything special with his night vision. His eyes glowed red so I got very excited.
The next day I ate a ton of carrots and stayed up past dark trying to see if my eyes would glow red.

When I was really young I used to say "Are we going to Bob Heavens?" So now instead of saying Bob Evans we just say Bob Heavens

When i was about 6 i used to love weetabix. then an older friend of mine (i think she was 7-but she seemed like a grown up to me) told me that they put ants in it to make it taste nice. i have honestly never touched the stuff since (and im now 19)

I once believed that there was a man in the toaster who "bought" bread and paid for it in toast. I thought the wait was so he could inspect the bread before paying. Once, our toaster broke down and I thought the man stopped buying from us because the bread was in bad condition.

I used to believe that "Old Dutch" potato chips were called "Old Ouch" because the old-style "D" looked like an "O," and words that have "tch" are pronounced the same as "ch." I never even noticed the T. I believed it until, one day in sixth grade, I was telling my mom something about them, and I said "Old Ouch" and she didn't know what I meant. She still teases me about it sometimes.

Sometimes, when you order pizza, the pizza makers put something in the middle of the pizza that sort of looks like a little table. To this day I have no idea what it's for, but when I was little, I used to believe it was a table for a dollhouse, and was included with the pizza as the meal's free toy!

When I was littlle my favorite food was Roast Beast! I would order this anytime we went to a restaurant much to the delight of my parents and the wait staff who were always laughing at me. I always imagined roast beast came from a very large purplish animal with a horn. When I finally found out it was "beef" the meal was never quite as exciting again.

When I was young, my mom told me that in order to eat chinese food, you had to use chopsticks. I didn't think this was right, but hey, if mom says it, it has to be right. I tried to learn how t use chopsticks, but I couldn't. I tried to learn every day until my fifth birthday. That night, I woke up at 10:00 to get a glass of water, and my mom was eating sweet and sour chicken with a fork. I cried for 2 hours because my mom lied to me. I never eat chinese food now or else I will break into tears. I miss chinese food, but I don't miss my mom

My mom used to use a ricer to mash potatoes. The potatoes come out in a thin stream, and I thought that you cut the stream in little pieces and that's how you got rice.

I sometimes have trouble hearing so when I was young I always thought that grill cheese sandwiches were called "girl" cheese sandwiches. Since both girls and boys like them, I didn't understand why they called them that.

My grandad used to tell me that if i ate tripe, then it would put hairs all over my chest

I used to believe that if I ate the skin on the roasted chicken I would have curly hair.

When I was little, my grandmother told me that each time you ate a vegetable, you would live one minute longer. So, I believe that if you ate 60 vegetables, you would live an hour longer and so on.

In an effort to make me eat sprouts my mum used to tell me they were fairy cabbages. Since I believed in fairies that might have worked, except that I hated cabbage.

When I was about 3, I used to love stickydate pudding. But I used to think that it was called sticky TAPE pudding and so now now everyone in my family calles it that.

I had a friend who thought blackberries were poisonous when they were red, and the poison somehow came out of them when they turned black so they were then safe to eat.

I used to think that Boysenberry pie was "Poisonberry pie". I didn't want to eat any until my mom told me what it really was. My sister then asked why it couldn't be called "Girlsenberry" instead of Boysenberry.
