When I was small, the biscuits I ate were plain rich tea and plain digestives. For one time I wanted to try the chocolate coated ones, but my mum told me that I can only have the plain ones because Mummy cared for me and my teeth. I was so convinced that for quite a long while, I actually felt sorry for children who have chocolate biscuits because I thought their mom didn't care for them.

When i was younger i thought that if you swallowed a seed, a fruit tree of the same type of fruit would grow inside my stomach, eg if i ate an apple seed, an apple tree would grow. It would then pop out of my mouth. I never figured it was wrong, even when nothing came out of my mouth...

Once, in elementary school, i asked my friends older brother for some of the sour candy he was having. He looked at me oddly, and told me to look up. I did, and he told me, "I'm sorry, you don't like sour things." Rather than leave me confused, he clarified, "you see this bump?" he pointed to his own adams apple. I am a girl and, curious, I nodded. "If you have this bump, you like sour stuff. But you dont, so i cant give you any candy. Sorry."
i was well into my teens before i realized that it was okay to like sour things despite having an appleless neck.
