I used to believe that your head would actually turn into a fruit when you eat a gusher. Those commercials scared me when I was a baby.

When I was growing up my oldest brother played the largest role in raising me. He had a lot of rules about food (don't drink my orange juice, for example). Processed cheese singles were "Blake's Cheese". I thought they were called "Blake's Cheese" for most of my life. One day when I was about 16 a friend asked me what on earth was "Blake's Cheese" and I learned that I was the only person on earth who called them that.
I still call them Blake's Cheese in my head.

When I was about 4 or 5, I had (and for some reason loved) a children's book about Louis Pasteur, which had illustrations of rabid dogs with white foam all around their mouths. One day, a family friend served me some blueberry pancakes with blueberries for eyes and a whipped cream smile, and I FLIPPED OUT. I cried softly at the table and when everyone asked me what was wrong, I told them that I couldn't eat my pancakes because they had rabies.

I used the thing that Cadbury's Eater Creme Eggs had real egg inside. I was well into my teens before I could bring myself to try one.
I used to believe (up until a couple of months ago) that when you broke an egg open the white chunk in between the yolk and the white was chicken sperm. My dad told me that story and I believed it until my husband told me it wasn't true.

The house I lived in when I was younger had a pasture with lots of cows behind it. My grandmother used to tell me that white cows made milky, brown cows made chocolate milk and black cows made coffee. Also, if the cow was like black and white that meant he made coffee with milk.

When I was younger, I ate a lot of cheese doodles. I believed that every bag was a family of cheese doodles, and I would eat as many as possible to try and keep the "family" together. There was always this random image of my mind of a cheese doodle family, fully clothed and with hair, sitting in the waiting room that was my stomach. When it was time to be digested, the jumped through this little tube thing and came out the other end.
I still have a vision of this cheese doodle in a dress with big black hair, reading a news paper while hanging out in my stomach.

I used to believe that my body was empty, totally hollow and that when I ate the food just piled up inside. So when I'd tell my mom that I was too full for more dinner I would explain that I still had room for ice cream cos it just went all melty and filled in the cracks.

My mom told me and my brother that if you eat during a movie, you won't be able to hear what the charactors are saying. We believed her and never asked for popcorn or candy at the movies for years. Then I noticed that other people seemed to be able to eat and listen at the same time.

One of my fam members tried to stop me from swallowing my gum by telling me if i did, and then later had to go to the bathroom, # 2, i'd blow up into a bubble and the only way to get down was for PaPa to shoot me down w/ his shot gun....I never swallowed gum again except for one time and then i didn't go #2 for a week...It took my mother a lot of convincing to get me to go....I believed this at least until i was like 11 yrs old.
