When I was a kid, my parents used to drive by a local luncheonette which had signs all around the upper floor of the building advertising what they sold. Since there was no grammar on the signs, I was amazed at "Malted Milk...Sandwhiches" and always wondered just what they must have tasted like?

People blow on hot food to make it a temperature better suited to their mouths. My teeth are sensitive to cold so for a long time I would blow on ice cream before eating it.

I guess I'm Jessica Simpson's long-lost cousin because up until about a year ago (I'm 15 right now), I thought buffalo wings were made from buffalo. We were having lunch at a Chili's restaurant and looking at the menu. I asked my mom why they served buffalo if it was an endangered species. My mother gave me a weird look and then I pointed out the buffalo wings on the menu.

When i was a kid, i used to think that only black people ate fried chicken. I thought this because my relatives would always want fried chicken when we had family get togethers. Then when i saw a crisco commerical with white people eating fried chicken i was so shocked.
1. shocked because they were enjoying and eating the fried chicken, and 2. because the fried chicken on tv never looked like the kind my mom makes, leading me to belive that white people had some kind of secret recipe to make the chicken super golden and crispy.
