I used to believe…

My mum like tea and my dad liked coffee so I thought that women drank tea and men drank coffee. I didn't understand when my grandparents came to visit and my grandad was drinking tea and my grandma was drinking coffee. My mum explained to me but I didn't really believe her at the time.

When I was little I demanded sugar on my cereal. My dad told me that someday I'd be eating my cereal without it and I thought that he meant it would one day become illegal to sprinkle table sugar on rice krispies. What he actually meant was that when I got older my tastes might change and I might actually like unsweetened cereal. I lived in fear of the day that I could be arrested for adding sugar to my cereal.

My mom always told me, "Don't eat the black seeds from the watermelon or one will grow in your tummy!" I always believed her, too...but after a while, I thought, "Wouldn't I have to eat soil, too, so it could grow?"

I loved pizza when I was 10 I always wondered why some peperonis are hot some are not. I thought when I wasn't looking aliens put invisible hot sauce on the peperoni.

I use to believe that fruit flavored chap sticks were made of real fruit and were completely edible. Until one day I was really hungry, and took a large bite of a banana flavored chap stick.

I was so upset.

When I was little i thought that if you ate too much gum it would all gather in your butt-hole, and the only way out was to have a doctor squirt orange juice (like from oranges) up your butt, through a tury baster.

When i was about 3 years old, my dad came home one day and i saw he was holding a watermelon. (i've never seen one before) i yelled out WOW THAT'S A BIG CUCUMBER!

i used to believe that when we drink coffee it stops us from growing

I had been always swallowing gum when it was bad for me and now I've stopped. This is because one time when after chewing gum. I was asked what happened to it. I said that I chewed on it and let it down my throat. My brother replied that swallowing gum is bad for me. I kept telling him I didn't swallow it. But he kept trying to correct me. This was because I thought to 'swallow' meant to eat with just a few bites when it had actually meant to put from inside your mouth to your throat.

I used to believe…

When I was little, I always thought that grilled cheese sandwiches were called GIRLED cheese sandwiches. Thus, my dad was not supposed to eat them because they were, obviously, made just for girls.

I used to believe…

My belief is a common one; I used to think watermelons would grow inside my belly if I ate watermelon seeds. What is weird is that I'd try to eat all the seeds, wet my belly and lay on the sun to try and make the watermelon grow.

I thought pregnant women had done that successfully.

I just found out three days ago, that it worked. My "watermelon" is now growing inside my tummy.

I used to believe…

When I was 7 my mom told me that cuoscuos was actually caterpiller toenails. She made up this huge story about how they have special toenail clippers just for caterpillers. I believed her untill my neighboor gave her away. To this day i wont eat couscous.

I used to believe…

My dad would always tell my brother and I that tapioca had glue balls in it, resulting in the two of us asking for pudding with glue balls when we would go to the babysitters or anywhere else.

I used to believe…

Up until about two seconds ago, when I read someone else's post, I really had NO idea what a gherkin was. I thought it might be some sort of little animal, like a toad or something, or a fish.

I used to believe…

My sister never ate eggs when she was little. My parents just thought that she just didn't like them. One day they were talking about a friend having a baby and my sister chimed in and asked "How many eggs did she have to eat to get pregnant?" My sister had heard that babies come from eggs and since she didn't want to have a baby, she wouldn't eat any.

I heard of turtle soup when I was little. I thought tomato soup was turtle soup. I thought it should be green but I reasoned that it was red because turtles had red blood. I loved tomato soup and I thought it was neat that I was eating turtles.
