When I was little I would get a drink of soda from the fridge, and my dad would remind me to be sure I put the cap back on the soda or it will go flat. One day I put the cap on the soda bottle very lose. then I would check the sode every hour or so to see if the cap itself would go flat.
When I was about five, I found out that beef was actually dead cow flesh, which prevented me from eating steaks. It didn't stop me from eating hamburgers, though, because I believed they grew on bushes...
i used to believe that the crust was the healthiest part of the bread. it was only a year or two ago that i stopped to think that it's really no different than the rest of the bread, just burned more.
i used to believe that Latkes were actually buttermilk pancakes.
I was a rather finicky child and refused to eat latkes [potatoe pancakes]
My parents tricked me into eating them by telling my that indeed the Latkes were buttermilk pancakes, and that the buttermilk gave the cakes the odd texture and flavor. It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I discovered that Buttermilk pancakes and Latkes are TWO completely different food items.

When I was about five my mother threw this huge Christmas party. She kept talking about what kind of hor d'ouvres to serve. I pronounced them like 'hors, divorce" and I was convinced my mother wanted to feed horse parts to all of our guests.
When I was four, one morning I got up and declared to my family that I was going to be a bird that day. I kept it up all morning, chirping and such. I think I avoided talking even. I hopped down the hill with Mom to pick up my older sister from school at lunchtime. Then came the BIG DEAL. My mother tried to feed me worms for lunch, which was actually spaghetti. I freaked out, threw the spaghetti on the floor and wailed for a long time. I couldn't eat spaghetti again until about grade three.

I used to think that boysenberry was poisonberry and couldn't understand whay anyone would want to eat it.
When I was in 3rd grade, we had a birdfeeder on the kitchen window. My dad joked about catching and cooking the birds, so one day my mom made Cornish hens and told my brother and I they were mourning doves. I believed her and even wrote about it in my class journal. At the parent-teacher conference, my teacher told my dad I wrote that we'd had mourning doves for dinner - my dad just said that we had - she didn't know how to respond to that!

It did the trick though...I still realllllllllllly love carrots! Yum! :P

My dad once told me that if you ate the seeds in an apple you would be smarter, so on my first day at school i ate an apple whole at lunch-time. When my teacher asked me why, i told her what my dad said and she just laughed at me. It took me a long time to realise why she had laughed.
