I used to think waiters and waitresses were naturally allowed to lick the ice cream scoop or pizza cutter when serving you in restaurants and cafes. Gross but still funny.

When I was a kid, I thought limes smelt or tasted like blood. Still like them as a candy flavour, though.

Whenever I saw 'dish of the day' written in pubs and restaurants, I thought it just meant everyone's favourite type of plate, and felt sorry for all the poor customers, thinking they were just given a plate without any food on it!

I used to believe that the vegetables I ate at nursery school grew in the track.

I used to believe when I ate bananas I could climb on trees more easily because I could become a monkey. I liked climbimg on them so I ate a lot of bananas. But I was scared to get hairs everywhere in my body. Now it's my favourite fruit.

I used to think that the reason you put crackers in your soup was to cool it off. If you didn't put any crackers in your soup it would just stay hot.

When I was a little girl I used to believe when we ate a cherry stone and then drank we had a cherrytree on our stomach.

Nine years ago, so I was 6 years old, I loved cherries so I ate a lot but one time when I played a game with my brother in the kitchen I ate a cherrystone. I was so afraid and stressful to died during the night. My brother was so bad with me because he said me “ Nina, you will have a cherrytree on your stomach” and “ You will become a cherry tomorrow”. I was so bad and I’m cried in my bed during 2 hours before sleeping. Finally my parents said that’s was a lie. The next day I didn’t have the skin red so I was happy.

Now when kid eat a cherrystone and my family say the same of my brother I smile because I lo longer believe this joke. The memories is funny now but it wasn’t funny and cool before.

I used to think a brothel was another word for a soup kitchen.
