I used to believe that my parents swallowed the toothpaste after they brushed their teeth because I never saw them spit it out. So one day I brushed my teeth and swallowed all the toothpaste in my mouth, and said "Mom! I swallowed the toothpaste like you and dad!" and she told me if I did it again she was going to have to call Poison Control. I never did it again.

I used to believe that it was every vegetables destiny to be eaten so I couldn't leave a carrot on my plate or it would be sad. I couldn't eat just one pea or one broccoli piece either because they would die alone so I would eat even numbers of veggies so everyone would have a friend to go down with.

my older brother convinced me that the moon was made of cheese, and if i jumped high enough i could land on it, and the reason the moon could float in space was because it was super light, in fact, it was so light you could blow it towards the sun, melt all of the cheese, and make the BIGGEST bowl of nachos ever.

My mom would get on our case if we left food stains around the house. She would say, "Clean that up or it will draw ants!". For the longest time, I kept thinking that the food stain would somehow form pictures of ants that would come alive.

My mother was trying to get me to go to bed one night ( I was 4 or 5), but I wanted to stay up and eat pineapples out of a can and watch tv. She told me that eating pineapples at night would cause me to have nightmares. I believed her and I stopped eating pineapple all together.

I used to believe that penises where sausages and vaginas were donuts! one day in 2nd Grade I was at the cafeteria and the cook said were cooking sausages and having donuts for desert. I looked at him and then called him a canibal. My Mom eventually told me the truth and to this day, I am so embarrased.

When I was 5, I used to believe the soil was an ice-cream that had not been put in the freezer.

When I was little I used to think the foods I ate that were in the shape of animals,people, etc would reassmble themselves inside my stomach, and live there. I also thought they swam in oceans of orange juice...or something.

To get me to eat my carrots my mom told me that if I ate them i would turn into a rabbit. I was about two and would ate every carrot put in front of me.

When I was little, I thought ketchup came from ketchup trees

I was told that broccoli and cauliflower were in fact huge trees that grew in a miniature forest. It worked I always ate my baby trees.

My sister was against eating animals, so our mother told her "these steaks grew on trees honey".

When me and my sister were kids, we thought all food had to either be a vegetable or an animal. One day at dinner we had pizza, and got into an arguement over whether it was vegetable or animal.

I said it was a vegetable, and pictured things like watermelons growing on trees, and when you sliced them, that's where pizza came from. But my sister said pizza was an animal. I dont know how she could've thought that, but it's funny to imagine little pizzas on legs running around and people hunting them...

when I was about 12 I convinced my 4 year old neighbor that Kix cereal was in fact dog food. This was helped by the fact that the box had clifford the big red dog on it and the fact that she couldn't read.
