When I was young my dad once told me that turkeys were baby elephants that would then make a cocoon and come out as a 'real' elephant. He also said that that because people ate so many turkeys the number of elephants was dwindling. after that my mother could never get me to eat any kind of poultry.

my friend was eating ice cream, and she had a scoop of mint and a scoop of chocolate. when she was done, she mixed it all up and it looked like only chocolate, and gave it to her little brother. the next day, their mom found him crying because he couldn't make his mint ice cream turn into chocolate when he stirred it around!

When i was little i allways got the kids chicken nugget meal. One day my babysitter took me and another little boy to McDonalds. I ordered my usual and he convinced me that the Sweet and Sour sauce was made from cow boogers...Yea i switched to burgers from then on. And now that i am an adult [ i of course understand its not made out of boogers ] but if i ever get sweet and sour sauce i always think of what that kid told me. And i kind of get disgusted..he has traumatized me for the rest of my life lol

Traumatized By Sweet & Sour Sauce

My sister and I used to believe that our babysitter was a witch and she hid a baby in our cupboard. Then she did a horrible spell to make the little baby pee. The pee we thought was what she used as juice in our Ramen Noodle Soup.

Although we truely believed this, we loved that soup and begged for it every time she watched us!

i used to believe that girls only liked candy that was colored pink or purple...and boys didn't like the flavor because it was girl colors...so they only ate candy that was blue, green, yellow or orange

when my friend was little, her father told her that a haggis was in fact a small animal that roamed the hills of Scotland, rather than a meal. She believed this for a very long time...

I thought if you found a really long fry in your Happy Meal, you could turn it into McDonald's for money.

When I was little, I used to believe that anything that was "sugar-free" or "diet" would give you diarrhea, cause I thought the symbol used for those things looked like a toilet flushing.

i work with kids and this one little girl thought that Friday was called Friday because that was the day you were suppose to fry food

when i was little i used to think french fries were called anch fries .....i guess i heard my mom wrong when she told me what they were, therefor i went around ordering anch fries everywhere for the longest time

my aunt told me that if i put a pickle seed in the ground that it would grow into a pickle tree, so my best friend and I planted one and waited for the longest time for our pickle tree to grow .....needless to say, it never grew

My parents convinced my sister that haggis was a scottish creature. There were two types of haggis. The low-land haggis was long and thin with short legs so they could hide in rabbit holes when being hunted. The highland haggis was round and fat with the left hand legs longer than the right. The reason for this was so the haggis could stand on the side of hills comfortably and the way you would catch them is by chasing them from in front so that they'd turn around and fall over and two men would be waiting at the bottom of the hill with nets to catch them.

Around the age of six, I got a piece of gum stuck in my hair... my mom got it out using peanut butter. This made me jump to the conclusion that peanut butter was NOT a food, but gum-remover. I was shocked to see my best friends eating 'hair remover' sandwiches at lunch the next day...

To get me to eat my veggies, my mom told me that rabbits could see really well in the dark, like night vision, because they ate so many carrots. I would watch my pet rabbit, Ozzy, at night to see if he did anything special with his night vision. His eyes glowed red so I got very excited.
The next day I ate a ton of carrots and stayed up past dark trying to see if my eyes would glow red.

When I was really young I used to say "Are we going to Bob Heavens?" So now instead of saying Bob Evans we just say Bob Heavens

When i was about 6 i used to love weetabix. then an older friend of mine (i think she was 7-but she seemed like a grown up to me) told me that they put ants in it to make it taste nice. i have honestly never touched the stuff since (and im now 19)

I once believed that there was a man in the toaster who "bought" bread and paid for it in toast. I thought the wait was so he could inspect the bread before paying. Once, our toaster broke down and I thought the man stopped buying from us because the bread was in bad condition.

I used to believe that "Old Dutch" potato chips were called "Old Ouch" because the old-style "D" looked like an "O," and words that have "tch" are pronounced the same as "ch." I never even noticed the T. I believed it until, one day in sixth grade, I was telling my mom something about them, and I said "Old Ouch" and she didn't know what I meant. She still teases me about it sometimes.

Sometimes, when you order pizza, the pizza makers put something in the middle of the pizza that sort of looks like a little table. To this day I have no idea what it's for, but when I was little, I used to believe it was a table for a dollhouse, and was included with the pizza as the meal's free toy!
