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.

When my mom gave me my daily Flintstone chewable vitamin, I thought it was important that I get a different character each day, otherwise I wouldn't be getting all of my vitamins.

I thought if you took some candy and buried in the yard, you would grow a candy tree.

I'm 18 now, but until about 2 years ago I thought pavlova and palaver were the same word... I didn't realise one was a dessert!

I used to believe that Buffalo wings were actually the legs of a buffalo, and they were just called wings to make them sound cool. The "drumsticks" did look a lot like chicken legs. When I realized they were actually chicken wings and Buffalo was a city, I still thought that drumsticks referred to the legs instead.

My sister told me that i was allergic to nuts so i wouldn't eat all the nuts. After i found she was lying, I threw a bag of nuts at her!!

Not allergic to nuts

I used to think that they had to wait for chickens, cows, pigs etc to die naturally of old age before slaughtering them.
I thought that who in their right mind would just kill a perfectly healthy animal who is just trying to live their happy animal life just for food.

I used to believe a cornucopia was corn on the cob with many other vegetables around it, because I misheard "horn" as "corn" when I was learning what it was, and I think the name didn't help, either.

corn of plenty?

I used to believe that broccoli grew on trees. It looks like a tree, so it made sense, right?

I used to believe that all the soup in the world was made by soup dragons and harvested in a cave, like the Clangers

My brother used to believe that you can't eat veggies because they have bugs in it!!! He saw a bug eating spinach and the supermarket and got freaked out so much that he called for the nearest employee to whack the bug with the leek he had in his hand! He was 4 at that time!

My brother used to think that olives came from two different kinds of tree: one that make "normal" olives and one that make olives already rattled off
