A childhood belief about general

When I was really little (about 5) I asked my older sister (about 9) to make me a balogna sandwich with mayonaise. She did, and went back to watching TV. I asked her to cut it in half and she said, "You can't cut through mayonaise." '

I, for some reason, accepted this as the truth and never attempted to cut a sandwich made with mayonaise, until I was married and my husband asked me to make him a sandwich that had mayo on it, asked me to cut it and I told him, "You can't cut through mayonaise." He looked at me like I was crazy.

It was then that I realized how stupid I had been. I am now able to cut through mayonaise without fear.
