body functions: eating

When I was maybe 7 years old, my Mom had a boyfriend who ate like a pig, but was skinny as a rail. I asked why. My Mom said it was because he had a hollow leg. I was skeptical, but basically accepted it. I don't even know when I realized how ridiculous her explanation was. But it was years.

When I was little, I used to think that certain foods "lived" in certain spots of my body. So I would talk to my mom and say(as i pointed to my hand, for example) and this is where all the bananas i eat go...

until i was about 7, i thought the human body was hollow inside like the whale in pinnochio & that when you ate food, it would tumble down your ribs & pool at the bottom of your body, where it separated into liquid & solid & came out the appropriate "exit".

My sister and i used to believe that when you ate, it began to fill up your whole body, starting at your feet. we used to point to our necks and say "i'm full up to here!"

When I was little, my mother would cook pasta quite frequently and I would dread it because I had somehow been convinced that the noodles had once been a living animal. I remember crying into my plate and apologizing after every bite when I was alone.

Until i was 8 years old, i used to believe that whenever you swallow the seed of the particular fruit that you were eating, it would grow as a tree from your stomach!! I was very careful not to swallow any seeds until realisation dawned on me later!

i used to think that when you ate something, it would go down individual slots for every single tyoe of food in th e world. obviously i didn't know anything about other countries.

When i was small i believed that we are all empty inside and that the food we eat first goes in the feet, then the legs and then slowly fills us up until to the top of our head!

I used to believe that when you eat something it goes to your foot and everything you eat after that gets higher and higher in your body. Once it gets to your head a doctor has to surgically cut open your chest and take out the food and after the doctor takes out the food, you are empty and you can eat more.

when i was little i believed that when you ate food it would fill up your body all the way to your neck...when dessert came around i would always say the i had room for dessert because dessert fills up you head...now i know that all food goes into your stomach

i used to believe when you ate, food went in to the right lung and drink went into the left lung. Whenever i drank something warm i could feel it warming the left side of my chest.

I believed that each rib held a different kind of food, from the food triangle. And when you went to the bathroom, it all got flushed out, and then went on again and again...

I used to believe that the food you ate would end up in your feet and pile up from there and only when the food reached your head were you actually full.

I used to believe when I ate flinstones vitamins that when they went down they would have a camp fire and be stranded in there forever.

when i was a little girl, my mum told me, that if i drink too much juice or water, i would have a frog im my stomach.. and i used to believe in it for a very long time..

I used to believe…

that grown-ups didn't need to eat.
