When i was 2 up until i was 5, i always thought that the little extras on food packages (like the strawberries on the cheerios box)were supposed 2 be included and i was always disappointed whenever i oppened a box and there was nothing there. finally my mom explained 2 me that the food wasnt defective, it was just decoration.

my family is part polish and my grandmother would cook polish food a lot. most of it had cabbage in it, which i disliked as a child. my grandfather told me i should eat it because it would "put hair on my chest". i really thought i would start growing chest hair (im female) and firmly refused to eat it... his psychology didnt work very well.
i used to believe that chewing gum was poisonous
I used to think if i didnt eat a slice of american cheese before i went to bed, i would die. i think i came up with this when i would try to stay up as late as possible by stalling and saying that i'm hungry. my brother is lactose intolerant, and to my understanding as a young child, i thought that if he ate anything involving dairy, he would eventually die. i guess i thought that since im NOT lactose intolerant, then its just the opposite for me as it is for him, so in order to live, i had to have american cheese every night. no questions asked.

When I was oh, between 8 and 10, I went to my grandmother's house with my dad for dinner. Mountain Oysters were on the menu. I gobbled them up thinking how neat it was that these oysters had come from high up in the mountains. Til after dinner when I found out that they were not oysters at all... you can imagine my surprise.
Because of the way honey was always drawn in books and cartoons, I used to think it looked and tasted like that cheese stuff you dip nacho chips in. When I finally got some, I was horrified to find that it was see-through!--and even more so when I tasted it...
When I was little my brother would tell me that if I ate a watermelon seed a watermelon tree would grow in my stomach and I would die. One day my sister was eating a piece of watermelon and I flipped out and started crying.
