I used to manage restaurants. One of my hostesses, still in high school, was just back from spring break in Mexico and was singing the praises of Tequila. Being young she was kind of one of the junior animal activists. You know the type…sort of the conscious of convenience. Not the brightest bulb on Broadway either.
For about a day I had her convinced that Agave was Spanish for seal. She believed, if only for a day, that Tequila was made from baby seals.
She cried and I felt kind of bad.
My mother once told me that if i swalloed a Watermelon seed Thst i would grow watermelon patch in my stomach. Well needless to say one day i swalloed a seed. I LOOKED in the mirror every day thinking it was going to grow annd that eventually my stomach wpould explode.
When I was a little girl, I had a chocolate Easter bunny with a pink cotton tail. When I had eaten the bunny, I was sad that there was no more of it. But my older brother told me "Dont' worry, if you keep the cotton tail, the bunny will grow back."
I kept that tail for years. Uh...
I used to believe that if you ate watermelon seeds, it would turn the inside of your stomache brown.

when i was about 4, i thought that cows drank the milk and made it. i asked my mom why they drank ehat they made and she told me they drank water. she probably laughed her head off when i left. i also thought the same for bees, only with honey.
When I was little I use to believe that the clouds were made of marshmellows. So I also thought that was where mashmellows came from.So I use to take all the pots and pans in my house outside when I rained to see if I could catch any. Needless to say, I was dissapointed. I went on believeing this till I was 8 and the new neighbors asked why we put pots outside.

When I was a little girl my dad used to go to Baskin Robbins (an ice-cream shoppe with 31 different flavors!) every weekend. Before he would go he would always ask me what ice-cream flavor I wanted and if I wanted whipped cream, nuts, hot fudge and a cherry. I never went with him to get the ice-cream-- and so, when my childlike mind pictured this ice-cream shoppe, I believed it to be a huge factory... much like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. And, there were buttons that you could push for each option. "Press 1 for chocolate, Press 2 for vanilla, etc." Then, you'd stand at the end of a conveyer belt and wait for your "creation" to pop out at the end. Then, one day he asked if I wanted to come with him. I was so excited to see the ice-cream factory! Much to my surprise Baskin Robbins looked much like our neighborhood Dairy Queen. I was very disapointed.
One christmas, when i was about 6, I received a box of turkish delight and my Mum, as a joke, told me that it was only for adults, so I gave it all to her. I continued to give her the turkish delight out of my selection box every Christmas that I got some, i always wondered why she seemed so surprised! This also meant that i never tasted turkish delight until i was about 12.
