OK, for th LONGEST time, i used to believe pickles just grew. i had no idea they were cucumbers. NO IDEA. i had seen cucumbers, i had seen pickles, but in my head, they had NO relation. so naturally, things like pickled eggs were made from the pickle plant. so i had no idea that pickles were actually cucumbers!

parents are always telling you not to waste food, because he poor people don't get any, you're so lucky etc. well, logically, as a kid, i thot that was pretty dumb; i mean, the more food we throw away, the more "poor people" get to eat from the dustbins, right? lol.

While at a friend's house when I was about 7, we decided we wanted hot chocolate. We warmed up the milk and put in powdered baking chocolate because it was the closest thing to Swiss Miss we could find. However, after we tasted it we declared is was poisned because chocolate is supossed to be sweet. I believed for years this bitter chocolate meant certain death.

When I was little, I always thought that there was someone behind the McDonald's menu sign in the drivethrough talking through the intercom where you place your order. My mother was curious when she saw me looking for the man out the window as we pulled out.

Whenever I got ice cream,( I was about 4) I would always order the "soft" ice cream because I thought the "hard" ice cream was actually hard and it would hurt my teeth if I tried to bite into it.
i used to believe that you could spin and shake your cup around in circles in order to make more to drink....so when i was running out of juice, i would sit and spin my cup around for the longest time expecting more liquid to appear....it never worked...but i still do it to this day!
I went through a carrot phase when I was little in which I ate many carrots a day and absolutely loved them oddly enough. One day in school my teacher proclaimed that when she was little she ate so many carrots her skin turned orange. I took this to mean she was beginning the process of 'you are what you eat' and she was slowly but surely turning into a carrot. I kicked my carrot addiction that night.

My mom didn't want me to choke on bubblegum when i was younger, so she always used to tell me that if i ate bubblegum while riding in the car, or talked with it in my mouth, it would automatically roll down my throat and would choke.
i'm sure everyone was told this, that if you swallowed fruit seeds that fruit would grow inside you. When i was little about 6 or 7 i so strongly believed it was true that when i accidently swallowed a lemon pip i started screaming and crying and telling everyone i was goin to die..haha
I used to believe that salt and pepper were opposites. So, for example, if I put too much saly on my eggs, I could add pepper to "un-do" it. I ruined so many servings of mashed potatos trying to get that level just right. Adding a little more of each and testing a bite. Ewww.
I used to believe…
when i was around seven, my friend convinced me that the gummies she gave me were magical and that they would make me sprout wings. my school uniform then had these belt loops and for some reason they seemed to look like they were poofing up after i ate the sweets. i somehow thought that the belt loops would grow into wings and i kept worrying that wing-sprouting would hurt.
that's why i love tinkerbell (:
