In my early years of life, i used to believe that if by accident I ate the seed of a fruit, it'll grow inside my stomach and the branches will come out of my nose and ears.

Growing up in the southeastern U.S., my first experience with "French fries" and "hush puppies" was at a "fish camp", the kind of rustic seafood reataurant known by that name in that region. Since it was a seafood restaurant, I thought that those things must be two items of seafood. So I spent much time wondering what the sea cretters "French fries" and "hush puppies" looked like when they were alive. Eventually I learned that not everything that is conventionally part of a "seafood dinner" in those parts is really seafood. I was somewhat disillusioned to learn that French fries are actually fried strips of potato and hush puppies are fried balls of cornmeal. My romantic notions of seafood could perhaps have been sustained a bit longer if someone had told me that those two items were actually parts of the same kind of sea monster -- the French fries coming from around the monster's eyes and the hush puppies being pieces of its ears.

When i was younger, my parents used to tell me that if i ate fish eggs, i would be really bad in maths. I decided to swear off fish eggs...I often wondered why my parents would keep eating it though..

when i was in my late teens, i finally realised that my parents told me this, so that they would'nt have to share it with me.

Til today, i m not really a fan of fish egg..and i kinda believe tat me being good in maths is attributed to not eating fish eggs!!

I used to believe…

When I was around 6, there was a rumour going around school that Quavers and Nerds contained glass. I thought that if eaten, they would travel down your arms and legs and they would cut open and you would bleed to death!

I used to believe that peanut butter was the same as butter, and that flour was flour and peanut flour was like wheat flour.

I used to believe that if you didn't follow the directions on the sweetarts that said "bite em" or "suck em" that you would die. Thanks to my big sister this plagued my childhood.

I used to believe…

For years I would not eat Tomatoes or Strawberries
cos I was told by my parents that the seeds I would
swallow would grow in my tummy.

When I was a child I used to believe that brown cows gave cocoa and black and white ones milk.

When I was young I use to believe that if you swallowed a seed from any fruit such as an apple, if you opened your mouth up to the sun, a plant would grown inside your tummy. Wasn't that such an hillarious thought!

I used to believe…

when I was in college, I have a colleague who is from the country side of the city, when I was waiting in line at the water fountain i said to him seriously "you know what the water we are drinking was just going in circles and we are drinking the same water over and over again" he looked at me and said "really I never thought of that, thnaks anyway for the info" from that day on he never drunk from the water fountain because he thought It was true.

After few years we met again and asked me if its really true about the water fountain, I was surprised that he still remembers what I said, and I told him that is wasnt true at all I just want you to hurry up so I can get my turn.

when I was a kid I belived if you swallow a watermelon seed a water melon wold grow in your belly.

I used to believe…

When I was small the sweets called "Smarties" had a slogon "watalotigot". I thought this was another name in another language for the sweets. But it actually says "What alot I got".

I used to believe…

When my little sister was 3 she asked what would happen to the watermelon seeds that she just swallowed. I told her it would grow in her body and out from the top of her head. She looked at me for a moment. Then I pulled up my sleeve and pointed to my blood vein and said "look these are roots from the ones I swallowed yesterday." She stared at my arm and stoned....

I used to believe…

Mum always boiled the suet pudding in muslin tied with cord. This resulted in the pudding looking as though it had a butt. At meal time, when asked if I wanted pudding, I said yes, but don’t give me the bum part.

I used to believe, that a watermelon seed could somehow get stuck in my ear and grow there and it could become so big that it will damage my head. I never eat watermelons.
