When I was a kid, I was very afraid of chicken pot pies, and wondered why anyone would ever eat any such thing. It was probably because I wasn't yet clearly hearing a distinction between "chicken pot" and "chicken pox". So I must have been thinking of them as "chicken pox pies".

When I was a young warthog, I believed that when you baked apple pie the apples turned into little demons. When you ate the apples (or "little demons") you turned into a giant demon. I have never eaten apple pie again.

my family is part polish and my grandmother would cook polish food a lot. most of it had cabbage in it, which i disliked as a child. my grandfather told me i should eat it because it would "put hair on my chest". i really thought i would start growing chest hair (im female) and firmly refused to eat it... his psychology didnt work very well.

On the Johnson Smith Company catalog, i saw the book about bodily fluids and when I saw the phrase "toe cheese," I thought that cheese came from human toes. And then when my mom and I were eating crackers and cheese, she said "why are you not eating?" and I said "because It is dreadful!, cheese came from toes!" Then I showed the magazine to her and pointed to the bodily fluids book where it says "toe cheese" on it.

All the kids in my grade school class used to eat paper to be "cool". Who knows why. Anyway, my Mom told me that if I ate paper, I would have to have surgery on my butt. That scared me out of doing it and I promptly went around and told all the kids what my Mom had told me (since she is a nurse, she knew).
