I was told by my grandma that my hair would
go curly if I ate my crusts, a good ploy you may think, except I didn't want curly hair. I spent years not eating my crusts until my mum asked me when I was about 8 or 9 why I didn't eat them at which I revealed thaat "I don't want curly hair."

Several years ago, Burger King's kids meals had Ghostbusters theme. My nanny (in an attempt to get me to wait 'til we had say down to open my fizzy drink) told me that if I opened the can, Slimer would come out.

I used to be very afraid that watermelons would grow in my stomach when I swallow the seeds on accident.

My brother once told me that if you planted a peice of gum that you hadn't chewed yet and you didnt take the wrapper off would grow into a money tree. I think that later he snuck outside and nabbed the piece of gum.

I was convinced that cheese came from a green nice smelling plant that we call the DAUN PANDAN in Malaysia and I told as many people as I could that it truly came from the plant....till today, my kindergarten mates remind me of that very very misguided belief! .....errr I actually made them try to eat the stuff....

when I was 5, my brother told me that if I swallowed the seeds of any friut I ate - like watermelon or guava seeds, a tree would start growing in my tummy and come out through the top of my head. I picked out every seed in every fruit I ate ... for years. In the meantime, my brother was happily gobbling up more fruit cause I was taking so long over each slice I ate!

While out at a restraunt as a kid... every time my grandfather would finish his glass of iced tea, he would tell the waitress that "it seemed his glass had a hole in the bottom of it" and they would always chuckle and the waitress would re-fill it. I always tried and tried to spot the hole or to find out where all the ice tea went to when it came out of the glass... but I never did... until one day when I finally got it.
