The moon was actually either a sugar cookie or a banana, depending on the time of the month.
A childhood belief about outer space

others believed things like this
- I was told as a child to eat the dark parts of a banana, because it was really brown sugar.Anon
- I convinced my sister that chocolate milk was made out of Keebler cookie elves, she believed me for a month— Rainbow Steel
- I thought that a "sugar daddy" was a father who let his kids eat all the sugar they wanted.Anon
- I used to believe that santa came to your house at a different time depending on where you live.
— santa 1:00 am - adding too much sugar to foods would give you "sugar worms"...
Anon - I used to believe that when cordial drink said 'sugar free' that you didnt have to pay for the sugar in it!— Grace Lyon New Addington
