food

I used to believe that when you were an adult you were only allowed to take one sip of your drink at a time. I used to practice drinking just one sip while I watched my mom do the same thing.

When I was little a doctor told my mum I lacked iron and my diet should include iron suplements. As she worked in a shipyard and was explaining this to me in the car on the way to her office I was convinced she would feed me ship parts.

when you eat the seeds from a watermelon a watermelon will start to grow inside your stomache.

As a child, I refused completely to eat soup. My parents didn't understand why, I wasn't a picky eater normally, but I wouldn't touch a bowl of soup until I was at least 10. I had a good reason though:

I'd seen people eating soup before and, unlike solid food, where you take a bite and you can see that a bit's gone, when you take a spoonful of soup, the rest of the it fills up the part that you took. So, in my tiny brain, I convinced myself that bowls of soup were never ending and unlimited, and, because I was always got told off if I didn't finish most of my food, I'd be forced to sit and eat the same bowl of soup for the rest of my life...

Remember those Fruit Gusher commercials? The ones where the kid popped the candy into his mouth, and his head morphed into a fruit? I used to believe that if I ate a Fruit Gusher, then my head would turn into a fruit. I was deathly afraid of those things.

My brother used to believe that egg yolk was poisonsous and thus refused to eat it; he gave it to my dad instead, and he ate it. My bro used to brag in front of his friends saying "my dad can eat egg yolk!"

I used to believe that cattail(bulrush) plants were where hot dogs came from. I tried cooking one before I realized that hot dogs do not in fact grow from plants.

i used to believe that cotton candy was a cloud with coloring.....

When I was 4 or 5, I loved to read the ingredient lists on the backs of food packages, boxes, wrappers, etc. Something I saw very often was "Red no.1 Lake" or "Blue Lake".

Of course, it made perfect sense to me that they added an entire lake full of red or a lake full of blue.

What else could it mean?

Once my dad told me that the white at the bottom of my fingernails got bigger when I drank milk (calcium). So I told all my friends at school that the white was actually milk.

When I was about 8, I remember my mum having an arguement with my bestfriend's parents over the MacDonalds they had bought me. I remember thinking, "gosh, she's (my mum) not even paying for it and she still wont let me have it!'. Little did I realise (until I was about 20), that it was actually a moral choice that my mum didn't want me to have MacDonalds. Thanks mum

When I was little, my Mum told me that any food we didn't eat at dinner went to a place called Leftover Land. (Later questioning, after I saw that it in fact was spooned into the bin, revealed that a wizard comes and removes it from the bin before transporting it to Leftover Land.)

She threatened that one day she was going to take us to Leftover Land, where we'd have to eat, finally, all of our associated leftovers.

I sometimes left behind the parts of the meal I liked best, so that when she finally took me I'd be able to have a good time.

I used to believe…

When I was young, I hated peas and was suspicious of all other pea-shaped foods, thinking that they might just be peas in disguise. I squished each and every blueberry I ate because I thought it might just be a pea holding its breath and trying to sneak into my mouth!
