My mom told me once that eating meat gave you muscles, so of course I deduced that I could get a temporary power boost from eating a piece of bologna. I used to eat a small piece of a cold cut, then lift up the corner of my bed, thinking I was super-strong
A childhood belief about special powers
others believed things like this
- I thought that eating chicken gave me muscles (chicken and muscles sound the same in Mandarin).— NG
- That at meetings adults sat on plastic chairs surrounding a large piece of meatAnon
- I used to hear "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of Meat with you"
Makes a nice light snack I spose.— Linda - I used to believe that you could quit smoking by eating cold turkey:)— Loren
- I used to believe that the meat you eat is turning to be your own muscles.— Yossi
- I thought a "cold sore" on your mouth was the same thing as "coleslaw" and so avoided eating it for years.— Helen (UK)
