I used to think that tassles, for some reason, were edible, until one day at a thrift shop, my mother caught me chewing on the tassles of a used military jacket. I was scolded, and my theory was debunked.

When I was a child, they began to make tuna fish in a can "dolphin safe" so every can of tuna had the words on it "dolphin safe." Therefore, I thought that dolphins had tuna in their bodies, that the fishermen would catch the dolphins, remove the tuna, and put the dolphins back in the ocean before they died.

I believed that if I didn’t “hole some” food I would turn into a skeleton. Donuts were the best, but I would always insist that my mother not cut my baloney sandwich in half so I could bite a hole in the center before eating the rest.

When i was small my big brother told me that if you put the little seeds you find at the bottom of a tub of popcorn in your mouth for long enough they pop into hundreds of pieces of popcorn. i kept one in my mouth for 2 hours, when i was older they told me it was just to shut me up during movies!

When I was about 5 or 6 and my sister was about 16 or 17 she had a lot of friends who came over for slumber parties and what not. Well one, who was a rather tall girl, at least 6'0 or so use to tell me that I was so cute that she could eat me up. She used to kiss me sometimes too and I thought this was her either her tasting me or trying to eat me!

I would hide when she came over. Being the small boy I was I thought that she could have easily swallowed me whole!

When I was little I use to believe that Ms.Butterworth could actually talk. So when I poured the syrup on my waffles and she didn't speak, I grew frustrated. My older sis told me that she died inthe shopping bag on the wayhome. I cried for days after that! :)

I thought if food said it was fat free it meant you could eat as much as you want without getting fat!

I used to sincerely believe that buffalos had small wings... probably until I was about 15.

When I was little, my grandparents used to take me to a restaurant that had buffalo burgers, so I knew a Buffalo was kind of like a cow. I also liked to eat chicken wings but liked buffalo wings better. I was sorely disappointed to learn that a chicken and buffalo wing was the same and that Buffalo (Bison) did not, in fact, have little wings.

I thought marshmallows were a "fruit" which they picked off from bushes, then bought at the store. I think this came from seeing cotton growing in the fields on a Georgia vacation when I was 3 or 4.

I explained this to my uncle (a farmer) when I was in kindergarten and he laughed so hard I thought he was going to have a coronary.

I used to think that chips were made out of fish. I couldn't understand why we kept eating fish with chips, I mean Why eat fish with a side serving of fish?

When I was quite young my parents and grandparents would go mushroom hunting every spring. I always thought it was strange that my mother and grandmother only went mushroom hunting and not rabit or feasant hunting like my father an grandfather. I could not imagine my mother or grandmother shooting at anything. I thought it some sort of small animal you hunted and then later ate for dinner.

When I was a little girl, my brother told me that the pieces of peel in orange marmalade were the chopped up remains of Fred and Freda - my dead goldfish! 20 years later I still won't eat orange marmalade...

I used to think that eggs were made in a factory. The oval shell made them fit perfectly in the egg cartons.

When I was little I was told that carrots were good for your teeth, so every time I ate carrots and would rub them over my teeth like I was brushing. I was convinced it gave me whiter teeth.
