I remember being over at my best friend's house when I was in kindergarten, and we were eating sandwiches. I got her mom to cut the crusts off for me, and Kymberly (my friend) tried to convince me to eat them by telling me that crusts made you whistle good. Being not able to whistle, I thought it was because I didn't eay my crusts. So I started eating them...but to this day, I can barely whistle.
