As an example of my excellent memory, I once confronted my mother about this thing I heard say when I was little. [Possibly why I hate eating meat] I distinctly remember her talking to one of her friends [Whose children she baby-sat], and saying something like "I don't eat the eyes, I give them to the kids." Apparently some people in reality eat animal eyes, I don't know if we ever did.
A childhood belief about nasty food

others believed things like this
- I was born brunette with brown eyes and dark hair, i thought people with blue eyes, had water in them.Anon
- My mom was always talking about "making
ends meat" but I don't ever remember having it served at dinner!— John Stees - i used to think that eating carrots would make your eyes glow in the dark— nik
- When I was little my friend told me that if you snease with your eyes open you eyes will fall out!Anon
- when I was young I used to believe if I squinted my eyes and it was windy my eyes would stay like this forever— Jeanne
- if I watched too much TV, I would get 'googly eyes' as mom promised, and my eyes would pop out of my head.— claire
