I grew up in Ohio and my Dad is a big nature person. We use to take drives into the country to see the sites. One day we were on a drive and I was ooing and ahhing over the cute cows. My Dad asks, "you know what comes from a cow don't you?" I said "yeah dad, milk." He then said "do you know that only that brown cows make chocolate milk?" I was probably 10 before I figured out he was joking. I have now passed this on to my kids...ahh traditions!!

A boy in first grade told me that skim milk was actually skin milk and that it was made with skin. He said they changed the n to an m to make it skim so that people would still buy it and that alot of people didn't know it was actually skin milk. So I refused to drink it for awhile lol I even spit it into my great aunt's plant and so did my cousin because I told her it was really 'skin' milk lol

When I was little I thought mixing milk and water together was my invention (called "milkwater", creatively enough). My dad always would drink milkwater and tell me how smart I was for coming up with such a delicious drink. I never realized I wasn't a culinary genius until at 6 or so I went over to a friend's house and my friend drank milkwater and I got upset that she didn't give me credit for it.

Of course, later I talked to my dad and he said he hated how it tasted and it was just a ploy to get me to drink milk.

My brother told me that you could tell how fat someone was by how dark their chocolate milk was...so I thought if I added less syrup to the milk, I'd lose weight.

On the way to summer camp, my 10 year old declared she now knew where low fat milk came from. Standing in the field as we passed was a very skinny looking cow.

I used to believe that milk was what cows peed. Never stopped me from drinking it though!

When I was about three my preschool teachers dyed the milk green for St. Patrick's day, and told us that it was the leprechauns. I was also, at this time, horrible afriad of any liquid the color green because the little "Mr. Yuck" sticker for posions was green. Well I thought that that meant poison was green and green meant poison. I wouldn't drink teh milk because i thought the leprechauns poisoned it.
I'm still afraid of leprechauns and green milk.

I used to believe that milk was cow blood.

I knew that some mothers could feed their babies with their own milk. So I thought that if I drank lots of milk that my breasts would be large.

I used to believe the pee of the cow was the milk. I didn't like milk.

when i was about 4, i thought that cows drank the milk and made it. i asked my mom why they drank ehat they made and she told me they drank water. she probably laughed her head off when i left. i also thought the same for bees, only with honey.

When I was about three, my mother told me that I needed to drink all of my milk to be strong and healthy.

I believed her, so one afternoon while my mom was taking a nap, I poured about a quart of milk into the pot of our ailing ficus tree. It died by the next day.

To this day I still cannot keep a houseplant alive.

When I was little my mum was telling my sister not to drink. Well I didn't know what alcohol was so I went and got her some milk. They burst out in laughter as I was confused as heck!

I use to believe that you could make milk shakes by stirring chocolate milk long enough and fast enough, that's what the blender did. I spent hours stirring my milk, thinking only if I could stir it faster.

When he was like four, my younger cousin only drank iced tea with dinner and hated milk. To get him to drink his milk, my grandmother told him that if he drank anything but milk past 6 PM he would stay short forever because milk made you grow while you slept. He believed it for a LONG time and would holler at us when we drank iced tea or soda at dinner and tell us we'd never get big. Awww. ^_^

When I was in the second grade, my best friend told me that soy milk was really cow spit. I believed him until we had a lesson on soy and found out it was really made of beans. to this day i get grossed out when i drink soy milk, it leaves this mucus in your throat. Yuck!! Cow snot.

Since I was told that milk was good for your teeth, I used to tilt the glass of milk to my lips so that the milk would barely enter my mouth and hold it there and soak my teeth in milk as long as I could for a brighter smile!
