I thought if you could get arrested if you sneezed on a restaurant employee. So when I sneezed on an employee at mcdonalds, I started screaming that I didn't want to get want to get arrested for sneezing and I started hiding under the table so I wouldn't get in trouble

i explained to my 5 year old brother about how burgers came from cows and sausages from pigs. after a couple of hours of what must have been hard thinking. he came back to me and said:
"i know how they make chips"
"ok"
"well they get a yellow dog..."

This was something I made my boyfriend's little cousin believe. We were on holidays in a caravan park and we had gone to get some hot chips whilst the 'little' kids weren't looking so we didn't have to share them. When we got home, we were sprung by Scotty. He asked us where we got the chips from and I told him there was a chip tree outside. Meanwhile, my boyfriend had gone outside and strategically placed some chips around this tree. Scotty raced out, all excited and came back with all these chips. He believed chips came from trees for years to come and we still give him grief about it.

I used to love to help my mum with the baking and I used to eat raw pastry. My mother however assured me that it would give me worms and as a result I cant eat it to this day.

When I was a kid my favoutrite meal was spaghetti bologneise (still is) though I was sure it was spaghetti boilin' eggs!

i used to think that i could cook food on the furnice register...and there were hotdogs all over my room, and some of them were like moldy...and my brother told me that the boogyman would stop stealing my toys if i smeared peanut butter all over my toys, so i did, and i got in trouble, but i was only 3 so you can't blame me... ;)

i used to think that colonel sander's (the kfc guy's) bow tie was his arms and legs, so he looked to me like a big head with little stick-man arms and legs

Ever wondered where Fish Fingers (fish sticks) come from? Well, they catch the fish, chop their fingers off, and throw them back into the water. When my kids told me they have never seen a fish with fingers, I told them "of course not. They've all been caught". It's the same for chicken's too you know, and you really don't want to know where the nuggets come from!

Elizabeth

I used to believe that chicken fingers were made out of the chickens fingers (gross). So everytime i sat down to eat them i told my siblings and we wouldn't eat them

When I was 3 my older brother used to put is fork in to his eggs and say they were dead little chicks and that we were eating dead little baby chickens. Every time I put my fork into my scrambled eggs he would make a chicken sound. I thought my mom would kill them & make scrambled eggs. I wouldn't eat eggs till I was 14. I still wont eat them scrambled. I am 30!!!

I used to believe that veal was space cows.

One time when I was 6 I got a hamburger when I was eating at Max & Erma's.The waiter asked if i wanted pepper on it.I said yes because I thought he meant pepper as in salt & pepper.I took I bite of it and I screamed like crazy because it was jalepeno peppers.

My favorite food when I was little was grilled cheese sandwiches 'cause I thought they were called 'Girl Cheese Sandwiches' and only girls could eat them.

Mum always boiled the suet pudding in muslin tied with cord. This resulted in the pudding looking as though it had a butt. At meal time, when asked if I wanted pudding, I said yes, but don’t give me the bum part.

When I was a boy we had an old jar of cinnamon sugar Mom put out on the table whenever we had French toast for breakfast. I thought the jar had just lasted forever, so old the label was faded and peeling off, but I was seven or eight before I discovered that my mother regularly refilled it with cinnamon and sugar she mixed herself.

I was told that by eating my carrots, I would eventually be able to see in the dark. I believed that one for awhile.

I thought that nuts were little wood pieces. So i thought that the cover on peanuts was bark. I never ate any nuts cuz i thought termite grew in them.

I used to think that grilled cheese sandwhiches were called "grouchy sandwiches". I would always ask my mom why my sanwhiches were always mad.
