My Mum used to tell me to "eat all my dinner - just think of the starving children in Africa, they'd be very grateful to have your dinner." So I got quite confused when I was told off for not finishing what was on my plate because I thought that what I left would go to the starving children in Africa.
Where I come from you can buy bags of ice cubes from the supermarket. they were called polarbear ice cubes, for years i believed they were little blocks of frozen polar bear.

When my mum used to make jelly from cubes (you know where u broke the cubes and added hot water so it went all liquidy before putting it into a bowl to set) i used to like drink the liquid jelly. She old me that the jelly would set in my stomach and that it would stay that way and i would wobble when i walked. For ages afterwards i walked very slowly and deliberately so no one would notice my 'wobble'

When I was little I used to think that if you ate something to much you would turn into it.(I still believe carrots will turn you orange in the long run)
No carrots 4 me!

At the time i didn't really know how to swim ...and so my mom told me that if i ate fish i would turn into a mermaid ! I ate fish constantly , and would always stick my legs into our pool to see if they would turn into a fin!.... if ur wondering ...they never did !

When i was really young i used to loooove ice cream so much that once we had run out i had gotten the chocolate sandwhich spread 'nutella' and ate that in a bowl as a substitute for icecream and when my mother saw the chocolate in the bowl she would always ask when had we bought icecream? lol. i never told her because i didn't want everyone eating my chocolate 'icecream'

When I was younger I was told, by my aunt, that stuffing is the inside of a turkey( heart, liver, ect..). Despite this belief every Thanksgiving I would eat it until I would begin thinking about what it was and get a little nauseous, especially if I had a particularly moist portion. It wasn't until this past thanksgiving which was after my 17th birthday that I was told the truth. But if you think about it thats not to bad because my aunt really thought it was the insides of a turkey and shes 38.

Once during dinner when I was about 6, I kept slurping my soup really loudly, and my mom got really irritated about this so she told me that "If you keep slurping your soup like that you'll go deaf." I taught myself to eat my soup in a very quiet manner and believed that until I was 10.

I used to belief that mangoes were blue, because of a children's book where they were painted that colour. i was horrified when I realized that they weren't! I'm still searching, there must be some out there somewhere...

when i was about 5 or 6, my mom would always show me those commercials where there were kids in somalia that ate out of garbage cans because they were so poor. so my mom would show me those commercials and tell me, "That's why you should eat everything that i give you because those kids have nothing to eat." So I thought that my mom didnt want to help those kids because she told me to eat everything on my plate and not throw anything away. so naturally, i threw all the food that i could into the trash can. i thought that this would help the kids who ate out of the trash cans.
Note:
my mom meant that i shouldnt thrown any thing into the trash because i was lucky to have food and that i shouldnt waste it. i was 5 or 6 so i didnt get the meaning at the time.

When I was about 9 years old, my Mom gave me some money and told me to get her a pound of lox. Later, I came back home with the money she had given me and told her the man in the hardware store said he only sold locks by the piece, not the pound.

When i was little and I wanted to eat at Wendy's I used to tell my mom i wanted to eat at the place with "the little girl with red hair" in spanish, for some reason she never understood me. I don't see why she didn't... oh well
i used to think that when you ate things like liver and brains it would add to your own, the little bits after being chewed would move to corresponding organ in your body. if u ate more liver your liver would grow.
