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.
As a child, I always hated bananas. One day when I had just began primary, my mom told me "Have a banana with breakfast, Dear, it'll give you fiber,"
That day we went on a field trip to where they made paper. We learned how to make it and how to make our own. We learned about the GRAIN of the paper and it's FIBERS.
From then until I was seven, I ate as much paper as I could while no one was looking.
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.

This one time we were camping, and it was windy outside because there was a storm, and my mom told me that there were tomatos under the trailor jumping up and down shaking the trailor... i believed her and though the tomatos were going to hurt me.. (havent ate tomatos since)
My friend Chris udes to think that when you picked a cucumber before it was fully grown, it was a pickle. After it had finished corwing it was a cucumber.
When I was younger, my dad gave me some barbeque chips and said "there hot so dont eat alot of them!". I took one of them and i ate it and then I said "Wow that is hot!". Then I walked over to the fridge and put them in the freezer. When my dad asked what I was doing I told they were to hot so I was cooling them off...

My dad told me that carrots were good for your eyesight, and that if I ate enough carrots I'd be able to see through walls, like Superman, and I believed him.
When I was 6 a girl in the school cafeteria told me that I wasn't getting any vitamins from peeled apple slices, because the vitamins were really the dots on the apple peels!
When I was about 4 my friend had the chicken pox. I went to her door to see if she could come out and play. She said "no" because she ahd the chicken pox.(I never had the chicken pox, I did not know what they were) At the same time she was eating a bag of chips, and I thought they were called Chicken Pox. I would always look for the chips called "Chicken Pox" when I was in the store. I obviously never found any.
I used to believe that paprika was dried chicken blood because that is what my dad told me when I was about 5. I didn't find out it was red pepper until I proudly raised my hand in Home Economics Class in middle school to tell the whole class that it was dried chicken's blood.
i used to think eyeballs were like made of the same material as hardboiled eggs!!!!!!
and then with actual hardboiled eggs i thought when i would open the middle that a baby bird would be sleeping in it. so i was afraid of eating them, or at least the yolk part for that matter.
My father is 50 years old, and is FIRMLY convinced that raisins and prunes grow on trees. I've tried several times to convince him that they're really dried grapes and plums, but with no success.
as I grew up hated pumpkin and was sick when forced to eat any and could never understand how me leaving any food could possibly get to the starving kids eleswhere in the world .
When I was 4 or 5 my mom told me that if I ate a peach, there would be a prize at the center for me. At that time I was a picky eater and she claims that I only liked sweets. So she handed me a peach, left for where ever she went, I ate that peach right down to that dirty pit. I still remember my disappointment that I didn't get a prize and I had to eat something I didn't like.
when i was little, my parents would sometimes make eggs for me for breakfast. it was ok when my mom did it, but my dad always managed to get little pieces of the shell in it, which i thought were nuts. so i'd ask him each time to please make the eggs without nuts, and of course he had no idea what i was talking about.
