When I was in kindergarten, living in a very white suburb outside of Seattle, there was only one black child in my grade. When we had our only full day (where the am kids and pm kids went all day together), I saw her. During lunch time, when we were all eating our sandwiches, she was the only one with wheat bread, and I thought she had brown bread because she had brown skin. Later on in school, she became one of my best friends... and now I won't even touch white bread. :)
A childhood belief about skin

- Brown or otherwise non-white snow was snowman poop. My kids believe it too!— Dellio
- I used to believe that white people had white poop and that mine was brown because I was brownAnon
- I'm black, so as a child I used to assume that white people pooped peach the way I pooped brown.— Rick
- My friend believed that eating bread crusts or eating mustard will give you curly hair.— Linda from Southern California
- "Better than sliced bread"
I used to believe 'Sliced Bread' was a musical band.— Madeline - I used to believe that a yeast infection was something you could get from eating "bad" bread.— Lauren
