When my sister was 5 she ate candy soo much. one day when she was eating skittles from her halloween candy sack, my mom told her if she ate too much, her dentist wouldnt give her any prizes any more becuz she didnt do a good job brushing her teeth. She also told her that when she ate a couple more, she would turn into a skittle and she wouldnt be able to eat or drink. she carried this belief on for quite some time. She is now 9 years old and mom told her the truth.
I used to think hamburgers came from bears.

When I was really small, I had this little friend who thought that Starburst was gum. She'd put a piece in her mouth and chew it for a few seconds and then take it out and give it to her mom. I was only three, but I thought, "Gosh, this girl is dumb." She thought I was going to die from swallowing it.

I used to think cantaloupes were antelope eggs.
I had just finished my 5th birthday party, and my mom was downstairs cleaning up. When she put away the cake, she gave me the candle on the top. It was one of the kind that are in the shape of the number. So mine was this big colorful 5. She said that I could take it up to my room. This was a big surprise for me, I thought, because she had never let me take candy up to my room before. Racing upstairs, I closed the door behind me and sat down. Then I took the biggest bite out of that big piece of candy. Only to get the wax of what was really a candle all over my teeth. I couldn't get it off for days.

When I first learnt how to make drinks, I asked my aunt why she stirred the drink after adding water. She said the act will make the drink sweeter. For a long time, I thought one can make any drink sweet by stirring. And for the same reason, one cannot stir something that is naturally sweet (like orange juice, coke...) or not meant to be sweet (like soup).

When I was younger I heard a song and one of the lines in it went "Starting over, cold turkey". I had never heard the expression 'cold turkey' before so I thought it was saying the person was starting a 'new life' and had no job at the time and could only afford cold turkey as food..

I used to believe that my mother, for some reason, wanted to kill me. I don't know why I thought this, but I did. She was always encouraging me to eat bread crusts, tempting me with curly hair, so I developed my own belief-
Crusts are poison!!!

My Grandmother told me that I would lose a drop of blood for every drop of vinager that I consumed.
I wasn't sure how long it would take for my body to replenish this blood, so I used vinager sparingly to be on the safe side.

When my cousin was three he brought two glasses into the living room and said "Mommy, here's some lemonade for you." Such a thoughtful little boy. They both had to go to the hospital and have their stomachs pumped; he had made the drinks from a toxic cleaning product, believing it to be lemonade mix--and having learned that "it's nice to share." Fortunately both mother and son survived and the young mad chemist was not arrested.

When I was a kid, my older sister told me that Fig Newtons were filled with crushed cockroaches. That was over 30 years ago and I still can't bring myself to eat a Fig or any other type of Newton bar.
