food

I was also told that it was "death" to eat fish and to drink milk at the same time. Does anyone know the origin of this myth?

Additionally, when I was small, (about three years old), my mother would pick all of the bones out of my fish -- no filets then. She never said ainything, but I assumed that a fishbone in your mouth = instant death.

I have been and will always be psycho.

When I was younger and my family went out to Chinese food we always ordered several spicy dishes. Consequently I would drink a lot of water with the meal. On the way home from dinner I always needed to pee really badly. For YEARS I thought that there was some ingredient in fortune cookies that made people need to pee.

I used to think that there was a little boy who lived inside an apricot seed and thought it was my duty to smash the seed to free him. So I got a huge rock and gave it my all and when I couldn't find him I thought I killed him!

In about fifth grade, I pulled apart a grape and thought the seeds were boogers. Only made it worse that it was a green grape at that. I wouldn't eat grapes for years after.. it still psyches me out sometimes.

Until I was about 12 or 13 years old, I had never seen an olive anywhere other than in a cocktail. The first time I ate an olive, I was extremely surprised at the absence of a pimento, and the presence of a pit. That's right, I thought pimentos grew inside olives naturally.

i thought the arby's sign was a whale jumping out of the water, until i asked my mom why they had a whale on their sign if they don't serve whale meat

i was told that the white stuff you get in your nails when you need calcium was milk and if you sucked your thumb enough the milk would come out and you would be able to drink it

When I was little, I used the think they sold licorice at the liqour store, so when my parents went to the liqor store, i would always ask to come to get licorice

one time my sister told me that if i ate smarties (the candy) with water i would get smarter...i ended up tellin all my friends til the 5th grade...until i found out it wasnt true when they all started laughing at me :(

I used to believe…

My step father's name is jeff and his younger brother's name is justin. They are only a few years apart, and when they were younger, justin was very jealous of jeff. He would always say "well if it's Jeff Peanutbutter, then it should be Justin Jelly!!!"

of course... he didn't understand the real name was Jiff Peanutbutter..


Also, when my brother and I were younger, he called me sissy. He was about 3 or 4 so i was about 12 or 13 and we would often frequent a place called Cici's Pizza.

He also wondered why I got my very own pizza place!! :)

When I was little, I used to believe that if I swallowed apple pips, I'd get an apple tree growing in my tummy and it would come out my nose...I still think twice about swallowing apple pips, lol.

I like pickles. When I was little, my mom told me if I kept my hand in the pickle jar too long my hand would turn into a pickle. So afterwards, whenever I wanted a pickle, I'd have to grab one really fast and then dry off my hand before it turned green... my mom is evil.

I used to watch rugrats when i was a little kid, and there was an episode where a watermelon grew inside of Chuckie's stomach. Because of that, I was always afraid to eat a watermelon because i thought if i swallowed a seed, that would happen to me. I thought it was true until i was about 8.
