I used to confuse the time of 'Lent' with the verb 'lend'. I thought that when someone gave up something for lent they would give it all to someone. I told myself that one day i would give up cough medcine and punish the greedy person who took everyone's sweets and cakes.

i used to think that eating carrots would make your eyes glow in the dark

i was in junior kindergarten and i got chicken sandwiches EVERYDAY. i within a month (i think)started to hate my chicken sandwiches.but i got clever about it...or at least i thought so...anyhow everyday at lunch time i would run and grab my sandwich out of my lunch box and toss it in the garbage before anyone got to their seats with their own lunch. i figured if i tossed it out before lunch no one would figure its me. so there i would sit day after day without a sandwich for lunch. except the teacher would *find* a sandwich every day in the garbage pail. everyday she would ask me why i didnt have a sandwhich like every one else did, and every day i would just say 'i dunno.' So there i would be without a sandwich everyday and mysteriously everyday there would be a sandwich in the garbage...but i never confessed. i thought i was so smart?!?!

When I was about 12, my family moved to the UK, and (along with other phrases) I was confused by the term "gherkin". Not wanting to sound stupid, I assumed it was a, erm, special part of one's anatomy. This was confirmed even more when my American chum called it a pickle. So one nite at a resturant, when the waitress asked if I wanted a gherkin along with my sandwhich, I shreiked and caused a rather large scene. My family still torments me about that to this very day...

One time my mom told me (it was late at night and i was like 4) that if i ate the candy she was eationg i would get diahhreah. I asked why she was eating it and she said it couldn't happen to adults. I huess she just wanted her candy.

When I was in first grade, as an excuse to get away from vegetables,I became a meatatarian. Yes, I ate no vegetables. I proclimed that killing vegetables was wrong and cruel, and that they have feelings too. So my parents started fibbing to me. They started saying that deserts all have vegetables in them. After a little while, I gave up on it.
