When I was quite little, my Dad showed me a cut-out red heart, and asked me what it was. Apparently (since I was obsessed with tomatoes at the time), I came out with, "A giant tomato'.
Also, when I still lived with my Mum, she was living with her then boyfriend (who's actually the father of one of my half-brothers), who told me that, if I ate a wild mushroom and didn't tell him, I would die.
I wonder if that's why I've never liked mushrooms...
