I used to believe…

When I was young, my mum told me that if I swallowed a seed, the plant of that seed would grow from my head...I then proceed to swallow all the seeds I could and stood infront of the mirror for hours on end waiting for a tree to grow.

i thought when people said they dont drink that they never drank anything, not even water

I thought that nuts were little wood pieces. So i thought that the cover on peanuts was bark. I never ate any nuts cuz i thought termite grew in them.

While growing up, us kids always had Knudsen's lemon flavored yogurt for a snack. We knew of no other brands or flavors, so all we ever asked for was "Knudsen's Yogurt!" but it was just a phrase since we did not really know about different brand names. Well one day I saw a cartoon of a witch making a special brew and one ingredient was "eye of newt." I found out a newt was a little animal like a lizard. I wanted to get one because they must be delicious since I figured out that we eat "Newts and Yogurt."

I was told that bananas were grown inside pigs stomachs and that when they ate the food went into the banana skins and when they went to the toilet bananas came out.So I would not eat bananas when I was 3.

I used to hate the smell of eggs so i put perfume on it once before i ate it. i was told otherwise after havin ma tummy pumped.

Because salt is white and pepper black, I used to believe that if you over-used one, you could cancel it by using too much of the other. I had some pretty horrid meals before I realized "color math" and "food math" don't add up.

I remember thinking that to make your toast darker, you had to put in jam sandwich. Through experimentation i can tell you it's not true.

I was always a picky eater so my diet pretty much consisted on the same contents. Well, my mother used to cook me Mrs. Grass soup in which little green vegetables were cut up in. After studying the soup, I came to the conclusion that those bits of whatever it was floating around in there were dead flies. It took only a few stubborn refusals that my mom asked me what my reasoning was to not eat the soup she had taken the time to fix so I finally confessed that I knew that a small collection of deceased insects were laid to rest in my soup. Needless to say, she had quite the chuckle.

One day( I was very Young) I was having a peanut butter sandwich, when I stumbled onto the thought " Where does peanut butter come from? " I didn't want my cousin to think I was stupid so I just asked where butter came from, he saidCows. So the next day we went for a drive and I saw a cow with something beside it. I made my parent stop so I could marvel at the "Peanut Butter " I wonder Why she wouldn't let me taste it?

When i was 6 my mother thought it was funny to insist that chocolate pudding was made of poop...i didn't eat the stuff for years after that.

When I was young, I always believed that when I ordered a fish sandwich at McDonald's (or anywhere else) they actually had to take the fish out of a pond in the back of the restaurant and cook it.
