My earliest memory in sitting in preschool at snack time eating, but taking little bites and chewing quickly because I didn't realize you could breath out of your nose if there was something in your mouth. All the sudden it hit me and I felt like I discovered something amazing.
A childhood belief about eating
others believed things like this
- I'm autistic, and I used to believe taking some of my sister's food while she was eating it was sharing.Anon
- I used to believe that the "shark mouth" nose art painted on military planes was to scare enemy pilots away.Anon
- Picking your nose and eating it. Hey! Tastes like chicken and only half the calories— Henry the Seventh
- I thought a "cold sore" on your mouth was the same thing as "coleslaw" and so avoided eating it for years.— Helen (UK)
- I used to dream that if I held my breath, I could swim through the air for brief amounts of time— Adam
- If you hold your breath and make a wish under a highway tunnel it will come true....I still hold my breath :)— aj
