my parents always told me carrots were good for your eyes. somehow i misinterpreted that to mean that if you didnt eat carrots, you'd go blind. i always believed my eyesite got dim before dinner, then afterwards was repelenished. i also worried that if i didn't eat an even amount of carrots, one eye would be better than the other, so i always ate an even amount and chewed them on different sides of my mouth so each eye was the same.
I used to believe that eating stuff like smart food or simply samrt(milk) would make you smarter b/c it had smart in its name.
i used to believe that eggs used to come from humans.
I can remember telling my dad that when i was "grown up" i could eat nuts, to me "grown up" was about 6years old, as i'd need my teeth to be strong and in my head, that was when that happened!
I tried one walnut and I hated it. :) i guess being grown up doesn't mean you automatically like nuts.
My parents used to tell me that I would get muscles like popeye when I ate spinach. I remember them pointing at my arms when I ate spinach saying "ohh there's one now" I kept searching for them until I was 12 before my friends pointed out how stupid that was. Why'd they do that I never said I didn't like spinach!!
I used to believe that peaches and nectarines were the same thing.
When I was little I saw a show on TV about cheese and how they made it. It looked like they were just mixing water around and after awhile, it would turn to cheese. So everytime I was in the bathtub I thought I could make cheese by standing up and running around the full bathub. Everytime I did it I swore that the water was getting thicker.
when i was a little one, i used to beleive that if i refused to eat 'poochandi' (man who kidnaps children)will take me with him.
I used to believe that fishsticks weren't made out of fish, they were only shaped like them.....I haven't eaten one since.
My mother told me there was a great pumpkin(like in Charlie Brown) and I got upset because there wasn't a pumpkin patch near my house. Little did I know it was a joke that would haunt me all my life.

My mom used to always make grilled cheese sandwiches for me to eat for lunch. I used to think they were called Girl Cheese sandwiches, and one time when my dad wanted one, I told him no, and said that Girl Cheese sandwiches are for girls ONLY!

I was told as a child to eat the dark parts of a banana, because it was really brown sugar.
I use to think that when snow white made the gooseberry pie she replaced the gooseberry with flour so i told she baking uncooked powder or dough...(get it)
When i was about 7 or 8 years old, I thought that the "Lucky Numbers" at the bottom of a fortune from a fortune cookie were the winning lottery numbers. So I set up a lemonade-type stand that read, "Winning Lottery Numbers, $100" which i thought was a bargain, since you can win millions from the lottery, until my mom came out and forced me to close it because she could get arrested! LOL!

When I was little I thought that pancakes were made out of penguins.
One christmas when I was 7, I tasted a peanut for the first time. They were very salty and I liked the taste. Within half an hour, I have munched my way through 2 bowls of peanuts and when my uncle saw me eating them about 3 hours after he had offered me my first one, he told me I'd turn into a peanut if I ate too many. I didn't touch peanuts for another 3 years when common sense finally kicked in...
When i was little i asked what meat a sasuage was from and she said pig so i figured that sasuages were the pig's cocks chopped off and i didnt eat any until i asked my mum clearly and understood
I was told you had to be 16 to buy food in mcdonalds. Always remember going in there with friends when i was 12, and after being served thinking 'maybe i should try buying cigarettes now'. Its a great lie that i intend to pass on if i ever have any of my own children
