I used to be paranoid of finding a baby chick instead of a yolk in my eggs. I got this idea that all eggs had baby chickens inside them. also, we had recently been learning in class about certain animal behaviors such as overprotective mothers. thus, when my grandma showed me an ostrich egg I warned her not to eat it or the chicken's mommy would come get her.

I used to think that our family of only girls had "girl" cheese sandwiches. While the houses that only had boys had "boy" cheese sandwiches. Later I learned that in Missouri we are lazy speakers and no one enunciated "grilled."

When I was little I thought that my body was hollow and when I ate the food would fill it up. When it reached my throat that's when I would get sick and throw up all the food so that I was hollow again!

When I was 6 I used to think that Cream of Mushroom Soup was actually called "Queen of Mushrooms" Soup. When we were grocery shopping one day I warned my parents not to buy it because if they made too much of the soup the Queen of Mushrooms to lose her mushroom forest. My mom took a can off the shelf and told me to read the label. I felt so silly!
