food

When I was younger I loved cake, but like most children, disliked coffee. So for years, I avoided coffee cake because I thought it tasted like coffee. Little did I know, that it only meant that it is a type of cake that goes well with coffee.

One christmas me and my cousin sat at the dinner table and ate an entire bowl full of cherry tomatoes. My father promptly asked us, "did you eat the seeds?" to which we replied, "yes, all of them", "oh no" he said, "you'll get tomato plants growing inside you" i wasnt too sure at the time but then my cousin had a strange growth on her foot and we were adamant that she was infact growing a tomato plant from her foot!!! to this day i still cannot eat tomatoes!

My grandmother told me once that I couldn't eat watermelon when it was lightning because water "drew" lightning and it would strike me if I ate watermelon! I think this was just to deter me from eating at that particular time and she never told me any different. I believed this until I was a teenager! Be careful what you tell your kids!!!!!

I used to beleive that anything that came from a cow was a dairy product (like cow spit or something) o and i thought eggs were dairy products (dunno y) i found that out a few days ago

When I was about 4, I had a packet of chocolate covered raisins. Some of the candies had little holes in them where air bubble had been in the liquid chocolate. I thought these holes were from little bugs burrowing into the candies, so I threw them onto the floor. When my mom found about 20 candies on the floor, she was really mad.

I used to believe that if you planted a feather in the garden it would grow an egg. Little did I know my dad would sneak out in the middle of the night and put an egg under the feather.

One time when i was young, about 4 or 5 my dad had an obbsession with sunflower seeds, and still does, i soon inherited this obsession. He told me one day to only eat the seed. Because if i ate the sheel i would poop it out and it would hurt alot. And still to this day i have never ate the shells......

When I was younger I was told that tapioca pudding contained frog eggs. So up until I was about 15 I continued to tell my friends this lie.

when i was young, my mum told me that if i swallowed a watermelon seed, a tree would grow inside of me.

When I was little a friend told me that if you swallow chewing gum it stays in your stomach for 7 years. After I was married I told my husband and he laughed until he choked!

When I Was Little I Saw My Mom Making Ice Cubes and When They Were Frozen They were White so the next time We had To make Ice Cubes I told Her I would Do it and because when i saw them when they were white i thought it was milk so i made the ice cubes out of milk and when they were frozen and my dad wanted an icecube to put in some water it melted and he had a milk and water drink!!!

i used to think that sand was salt so too bad! then i always put it on my egg and i was like, yo, i'm eatin salt! and my mom's like no your not so i'm like dang!

When I was little I ate butter by the sick and then my big brother told me that I would turn into a dragon if I ate too much so I stopped eating all the butter.

My grandfather would drive past straw fields and tell me the bales of hay all rolled up was shreded wheat, what i ate for breakfast. It grossed me out and took awhile for me to eat shreded wheat again.

Times were confusing as a child...and fustrating for my parents.
On frequent occasions I would end up putting sugar all over my food, thinking it was salt.
I finally learned the theroy of Food/Salt...until breakfast came...salt on cerael, didn't go down very well.

Iused to believe when I was very young that peanuts had little elf's in them. You know when you split a peanut open & you have one side that has that little cone shaped end to it.....I thought it was a little elf with a beard & cap sleeping in his peanut bed. I never ate that side of the peanut. Goofy kid I was!
