when i was around 8 years old, my dad let me watch clockwork orange. i think he only let me watch it in hope that i wouldn't understand any of it. The only bit i did understand was that the milk had drugs in it. until i was about 15 i never drank milk, and didn't really like people who did coz i thought that all milk had bad drugs in it.

One day when I was in kindergarten, someone brought "worms in dirt" (crushed Oreos and gummi worms) as a snack for the class. Despite the teacher's repeated insistence to the contrary, I remained convinced that the dirt and worms were real. The teacher eventually had to bring me a different snack from somewhere else in the building because I refused to eat the worms and dirt. Nobody else in the class had this problem.

I thought that if you ate paw-paw (papaya) you had to get a needle in your spine. I think I must have seen two stories on the news, one about pawpaw and one about epidurals - somehow they melded in my brain. I still can't make myself eat pawpaw - even though I like the taste

We used to have our milk delivered to us, and the truck that brought it was white. My sister convinced me that chocolate milk would only be delivered by the brown trucks (UPS). Since we never got chocolate milk, and the UPS trucks never came to our house, either, the story made sense for years.

My grandfather told me the round green fruit in canned fruit cocktail were "geezleberries." For years, I only had a mild curiosity as to why I never saw any raw (i.e. not canned) geezleberries, and my family always jokingly referred to canned grapes as "geezleberries", ha ha ha. Only I wasn't in on the joke. I was well into my twenties when my younger sister perceived that I really thought they were called geezleberries and convinced me (with some difficulty) that they were grapes.

When my brother was little, he was very picky with what he would eat- only fruits and vegetables. He considered himself a "Fruititarian." We convinced him that chicken grew on a tree and was a fruit so that he would eat. He believed that for years.

I used to think that if you ate the membrane of a pomegranate it would make you really brainy

My 5 year old cousin thinks you can die if you chew too much gum for to long, so she chews half a peice for about 15 seconds, spits it on the ground. Chews the other half for 15 more seconds, spits that out than asks me for more, when i say no, she asks my other cousin, then my aunt....

When i was little, mad cow disease worried my mum and she never let me eat beef until i was about 9. Because i wasn't allowed it, i assumed i was allergic to it, and told everyone i was allergic to beef. once, my dad gave me a "beef" tomato to eat and i wouldnt eat it until he explained that it didnt have beef in it!

(i didn't knw about dying or killing animals)

I remember when I was just starting to read, my mom put prank labels on the jars that were always around the kitchen. The jar of tapioca had a label saying "Fish eyes" on it. Imagine my suprise when I saw that what I thought were kidney beans were labeled "Lizard tongues"! It took me a few months to figure it out...

We used to believe that Chocolate milk came from Brown cows because our Daddy told us it did. My sister even argued with her teacher that "yes it does, my Daddy told me so"
