when i was a little kid, my parents told me that how ever many grain of rice i left on my plate, it would appear on my face. so, when i saw people with pimples on their face, i thought it was because they left rice on their plate.

Once when I was younger I thought that a mistake was some kind of meat like a porterhouse or a t- bone, so when my parents would say that they made a mistake I thought dinner would be ready soon.

Mom told us that if we didn't eat every single bite of our veggies at dinner time, we'd get colon cancer.

The first time I met my Uncle from South Africa he started telling me all about their life in South Africa and he told me that they would often eat lions and zebras. I was really quite horrified, but figured as you could buy crocodile and Emu here in Australia that it was possible that in Africa they would eat Lions and Zebras.
He later told me he was making the whole thing up.
I was 20 at the time.

I used to believe that honey was made from bees' pee when they drank too much water.

i used to think that if you ate 14 carrots, your intestines would turn to gold (I blame this entirely on the human body magic school bus game and ms. frizzle)

My mom always told my sister and I that the brown spots on the banana were where the most sugar was. So we always fought over who got to eat the banana with the most dark spots.

We used to always eat fish on Fridays, my dad would call it Cod Steak Day. I used to think Cod Steak Day (Fridays) were special just like the Holy Day (Sundays). I thought it was like a law or something that on Fridays you were suppose to eat fish for dinner, just like you had to go Church and have a Sunday lunch on Sundays. Weird thing is I never thought anything of it when we stopped both. Only reason I remember this is because my Mum and sister started talking about Cod Steak Day.

I used to believe what ever was brown tasted like chocolate

When I was little, my Mom used to put her index finger over the end of a ketchup bottle, then "throw it to the ground, but change her mind" . Little did I know, she was getting the rest of the ketchup to the top of the bottle.

I used to think that the little black bit going through the inside of a banana was a spider's leg. However, I didn't know it went through the whole banana, so when I saw a tiny little bit of that black hairy stuff, I often freaked out. I didn't know how the single spider leg got into the banana, but it had to be alive!

I still don't eat the very last bit of the banana with the spider's leg in it.

You know those tops to drinks from fast food restaurants, that have little things you can pop in that say things like "Diet" or "Root Beer"? I thought that if you pushed in the little button and threw the top all the way to the restaurant, they would give you a free one. I never was successful.

I use to thing that if you keept egges in the refridgerator for too long and then you cracked them, little baby chickens would come out.
