I used to believe…

When i was 7 I was often caught red-handed raiding the cookie jar at night at grandma's. That was until my aunt told that once I'd taken over 20 cookies the Sesame Street Cookie Monster I loved so much would turn evil and mean to come and get the cookies I'd taken without permission.........I didn't eat cookies again until I was 16.

I used to believe…

Back when the 101 Dalamtians movie had first come out, they had white chocolate/cookie candy bars with Dalmatians on the wrapper to promote the movie. My best friend at the time and me convinced his 4 year old nice that the candy bars were made out of ground dalmatians, and everytime she took a nibble, we'd make yelping sounds. She believed us after a few minutes and started crying. It took a few years before she would eat another cookies n cream candy bar!!

when i was 5/6 my much older cousin used to tease me if i ate an orange and i accidentally ate the seed then an orange plant would grow out of my stomach and have branches coming out of my ears and mouth!

I used to think that Boysenberry pie was "Poisonberry pie". I didn't want to eat any until my mom told me what it really was. My sister then asked why it couldn't be called "Girlsenberry" instead of Boysenberry.

When I was little, my mom told me not to eat watermelon seeds because they would grow in my belly. I thought that's what happened to pregnant women when they were pregnant. They were growing watermelons and the stork brought the baby

when i was 5 through i guess 8 (im 13 now) i thought eating your crust helped you learn to whistle my mom told me that and because my big sister could whistle i desperately wanted to it worked on me but not my youger sister lol and the weird part is when i did eat it i learned how to whistle 2 days later and i loved crust ^_^

I used to beleive that brown cows gave chocolate milk and white cows gave white milk... because i believed this and we lived on a farm with cows and chocolate milk was much too expensive i would run up to the brown cows and just as i was about to squeeze the utter my dad would catch me.

I used to believe…

When I was little, whenever we baked a cake, my mum told me not to lick the bowl too much or I would get worms. I never really understood what that meant, and I imagined that slimy multicoloured worms would grow on the roof of my mouth.

I thought that a "ceral" killer was a person who stomped on the ceral ( out of the boxes) and I would not eat the ceral because if I ate it i was a "ceral" killer. LOL ( i know i spelt "ceral" wrong! ) And i am now 12.

I used to believe…

when I was about 5, we would go out as a family and get ice-cream over the weekend. My dad had nearly finished his cone and I had hardly eaten mine, so he said "Sarah! Nooooo stop eating your cone, whats that?" pointing at my cone. There was a tiny speck of chocolate or something on the ice cream, so I looked at him and he said, "Its a bomb, you better trade with me, my cone is safe!" So I did! Thats the reason why today I weigh 120 pounds and He weighs like 290!

I used to believe…

My grandmother would tell me that if you had grapes and then go outside on a hot day that you would get drunk. I secretly tried just to see how it felt to get drunk, but it didn't work.

I used to believe…

Okay well when I was a little kid I used to think chesse came from special chesse cows (ex. chedder cows).
I thought this because I knew milk came from dairy milk cows, and I also knew chesse came from cows so of course chesse must come from chesse cows.

I was a weird kid.

I used to believe…

In kindergarten I thought the tail end of shrimps were poisonous so I would meticulously cut off the ends. I remember thinking it was odd that my school would leave poisonous items on food kids were eating. I have NO idea where this belief came from.

I used to think that if u buried chocolate it would grow in to a chocolate tree so i tried it in our vegie patch garden i 'm not shore if i wterd it but ithink i waterd it once i used to check to see if it has grown but it didnt

I used to believe…

When I was little my grandmother told me that blue Smarties tasted bitter and only grown ups liked the taste. Now, of course, I realise she was conning me out of chocolate. That will always be my funniest memory of her.

I used to believe…

My mum's younger sister had always come to my mum for baby advice. Once, me, the nosy child overheard their conversation about my aunt's struggles of weaning little Gary. (via, the baby.)

After I heard the word, "Weaned", I had this vivid picture of my aunt and these other women, circled around little Gary's high chair, holding packages of Oscar Myer "Weanies". Their only intention being to feed Gary nothing but weanies for a full year. Only then would he be able to advance to "big kid" food. They then proceeded to stuff the weeinies down Gary's throat... hey, how else was he goin to get "weaned?"

I was jealous of Gary because HE got to eat hotdogs everyday whilst I was stuck with lima beans, cauliflower and viel.

It never occured to me that hotdogs are a major choking hazard for infants... DOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
