food

I use to be afraid of turkey bones because I tought that they would come in the middle of the night and take your skin, I had this fear for many years and still get a bit shivery around turkey bones, I'm currently 12 XP

I used to believe…

when i was a kid, i honestly believed that chocolate milk came from brown cows!!!

I swallowed gum once when I was little, and I told my dad about it so he'd give me another piece. He told me that when I tried to poop later, I'd blow a bubble out my butt! I totally believed him! Now I tell my friends' kids the same thing, and they swallow it on purpose to see if it's true. :-) Hee hee!

I used to believe…

My mom made me believe that it I swallowed watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in my stomach OR that if I swallowed my chewing gum, my insides would stick together.

I have always thought that brown cows make chocolate milk...right???

When I was about 6 my Nanna told me, my sister and brother that we couldn't have fish from the chip shop until we was 14 beacuse it was illegal and she would be taken away by the police man, for years I wouldn't eat fish, only when I got older I found out that she simply couldn't afford it.

I was about 4 or 5 years old at the time. My Uncle Charlie used to drink sometimes. One night he came home and was drinking orange juice. I loved orange juice. Anyway, he was drinking a lot of it and then he started acting really funny. He sat on the stove and fell off. It scared me so bad that for years and years I refused to drink orange juice because I didn't want to be funny like Uncle Charlie and fall off of stoves. I didn't know at the time that he had doctored it with some kind of alcohol. I was finally a teenager before I tried drinking orange juice again. And to this day every time I drink it I think of my uncle falling off the stove.

I used to believe that the pictures on cans or jars of food were what the contents were... dog food was made out of dogs (& not just any dog, the picture on the front was the picture of the dog that was in that can)
I could never figure out why there were so many dogs that looked exactly alike...

& don't even ASK what I thought about baby food!

i was sitting in my P.E lesson and a girl started getting told off for chewing gum. immediately i realised that i was chewing gum too, and as i didnt want to get told off, i decided to swallow my gum. my friend then turned to me and said: "dont swallow your chewing gum, it will rap around your heart." to this day, whenever i think about that i laugh.

I used to think that grilled cheese sandwhiches were called "grouchy sandwiches". I would always ask my mom why my sanwhiches were always mad.

I used to believe…

One night at dinner we had tapioca pudding for dessert. I kept begging for more pudding and my parents kept telling me no, you've had enough. Finally my dad said, "Are you sure you want more? Because the little balls in tapioca pudding are made of fish eyes." I believed that for YEARS and to this day will not eat tapioca pudding.

I used to believe…

My mother told me the other day that when she was three years old, her dad brought her and her brothers and sisters a box of giant apples!

The apples where bigger than her hand!
Years passed, and he never saw apples like that ever again.

I used to believe…

My brother and I were convinced that brussel sprouts were the heads of little green martians that my mom was trying to feed us (for what reason we did not know). Still to this day, twenty five years later we still call them little green martians...and have both passed this legacy on to our kids

I used to believe…

As a child I was once very sick with "Scarlet" fever and for years thereafter I refused to eat Scarlet potatoes. It was only when I was a little older that I learned they were actually called "scalloped" potatoes!

I used to believe…

When I was little my cousin was pregnant . I asked why she had such a big tummy. She told me that she swallowed a watermellon seed and it grew. From that point on I never ate watermellons

I used to believe…

When Al Capone's vault was opened, I overheard someone saying that all they found was a bottle of booze.

So I asked, "What are boos?" I was picturing opening a bottle and hearing a chorus of people booing.
