I used to believe…

One time my best friend Jaquelyn said that if you swallowed gum it would immediately go right to your heart and stick there where it would clog your "heart tubes" (we were seven, OK?) and then your blood couldn't go anywhere go it would go in your throat and you'd drown. Jaqueline was quite a tale- spinner and I was a pretty stupid kid. Hence, my username. Hey, I will soon be known on this site as the very stupid little kid.

When I was little my dad told me that if you drank too much coffee it would make your skin turn black.

I used to believe that if i swallowed watermelon seeds a watermelon would start growing inside of my stomach.

When i was about 8 or so my sisters would tell make stories up and I was so gullible. One day my dad came home with box of fig neutons and my sisters didn't want to share with me so they told me that the stuff inside of fig neutons was made out of worms and ever since I haven't eaten them.

I thought that swallowing fruit seeds would mean that the seeds would germinate and grow inside of me.

I used to believe that the date stamped on soda cans and other beverages saying "For best taste, drink by..." meant that the beverage would taste the best on that exact date. I tried saving a can of Coke for about 2 years so that I could savor the "best taste." I thought this applied to milk as well, and learned the hard way that it didn't.

Mine is similar to another I seen. When I was a kid my older brother told me that the peaches in a can have veins in them. If you look closely, you'll see what I mean. To this day I don't eat much fruit at all beacause I've noticed that a lot of fruit has "Veins."

I used to think that absinthe was "abs in the". It confused me a lot.

Once when I was four years old, my mom and I were having dinner. Someone had told me before that grape juice stains(probably talking about clothes, of course). Along with dinner I was drinking a glass of grape juice. Just to clear the confusion, I asked my mom if grape juice stained, which of course, she said yes. Well I had gotten grape juice on my upper lip. Being as I was four years old, I started bawling my head off and ran to the bathroom to wash it off so it wouldn't stain my upper lip!

On my first day of kindergarten, the lunch menu said, "Pig in a blanket" (A hotdog wrapped in bread.) Visualizing a very large live pig shaking and covering it's eyes while hiding under my 'Blankie', (blanket) I walked up to my mom, all worried, and asked, "Do I really have to eat a pig in a blanket?"

when i was about 5 years old once i drank a lemon seed with lemon water in it,my cousin who was three years older than me, got notice of it and she told me that now a lemon plant will grow on my head. i got really tensed.

When I was in grade one, up the back of the class there was a bucket of dry dog food. Me and a couple of friends were talking about it, and they told me that if you ate a peice of dog food you became a dog! I was too afraid to do it. I wish I'd done it now, though.

I used to believe…

Remember Pop-eye sticks??? Well, to me they looked exactly like the sticks lollipops are on, so i used to believe that lollipop sticks were entirely edible. Well, when my mother finally told me they were simply paper, i refused to eat the candy pop-eye sticks thinking they too were just paper.

I used to think that Cherry Jello salad was called Cherry Botulism because my mom once told me not to put the bowl in the fridge with the spoon or that's what would happen. I was in High School before anyone corrected me and I called it that ALL THE TIME.

I used to believe that if you swallowed chewing gum it got stuck in your stomach for years and years. But, being a not-too well off kid, i didn't want to waste a peice i was eating, so i stuck it behind my ear (an idea i got from the film "charlie and the chocolate factory"). of course, this stuck to my hair and i had to have it cut.

i used to think if i ate watermelon seeds my stomach would help the plant grow and i would poop out watermelons............... i got scared everytime i ate one but then i realized that that never happened
