I used to believe that french fries were stuffed with mashed potatoes... but I could never figure out how they got in there.

when i was little i used to think french fries were called anch fries .....i guess i heard my mom wrong when she told me what they were, therefor i went around ordering anch fries everywhere for the longest time
when my friend was little, her father told her that a haggis was in fact a small animal that roamed the hills of Scotland, rather than a meal. She believed this for a very long time...
My sister and I used to believe that our babysitter was a witch and she hid a baby in our cupboard. Then she did a horrible spell to make the little baby pee. The pee we thought was what she used as juice in our Ramen Noodle Soup.
Although we truely believed this, we loved that soup and begged for it every time she watched us!
my friend was eating ice cream, and she had a scoop of mint and a scoop of chocolate. when she was done, she mixed it all up and it looked like only chocolate, and gave it to her little brother. the next day, their mom found him crying because he couldn't make his mint ice cream turn into chocolate when he stirred it around!
When i was little i allways got the kids chicken nugget meal. One day my babysitter took me and another little boy to McDonalds. I ordered my usual and he convinced me that the Sweet and Sour sauce was made from cow boogers...Yea i switched to burgers from then on. And now that i am an adult [ i of course understand its not made out of boogers ] but if i ever get sweet and sour sauce i always think of what that kid told me. And i kind of get disgusted..he has traumatized me for the rest of my life lol
When I was small, my parents and I would go fishing. As a small child, I saw that the fish were eating the worms. I realized that if they ate the worms, I would also be eating worms when I ate the fish. I couldn't eat fish until I was over thirty years old.

Until recently I thought that coffee cakes were supposed to actually taste like coffee.
I used to believe that the UL symbol on boxes of lightbulbs meant that they were kosher. I obviously had no idea what kosher meant, and the UL must have looked a bit too much like the "circle U" symbol I'd seen on other items in the grocery store.
This isn't my belief, but that of the kids I babysit: they think that when one raises their glass to do cheers to something, it has to be to the thing they're raising. I was babysitting them recently and in lieu of glasses, they raised their forks and both promptly announced, "To the forks!"
When i was young, i used to believe that is kiwi fruits, black stones were dead buterflies
I used to believe that grilled cheese sandwiches were "girl" cheese sandwiches. So that's what I always called them.
Went I was little we would go out to eat and some places asked if I wanted a "soup or salad" with my meal and I always responded No cause I thought they meant a "super salad"... Which would be to big.
When I was younger, I was convinced that sprinkles (the colored candy put on ice cream and cookies) came from sprinklers.
When I was a child, until 6 years old, I used to believe that "polenta" was only for dogs. Polenta is a salted cream made by corn powder and water. I used to believe that because in my home, we used to cook it just for our dogs. But when I started going to school, There was "polenta" for lunch! And so, I founded out that people could eat "polenta" too...
I used to believe that all fruits were vegetables, and vice versa.

When I was litle, I used to belive that saucisson was made out of pig's tail.
Let me explain : one night I had a dream in wich I was in a big supermarket with my parents and in an alley I saw a big pig statue and I asked : "What is saucisson made out of ?" and my mom just answerd me that it was pig's tail and trusted her ! Even though it was a dream I acually belived saucisson was made out og pig's tail in real life too !
One day at school, I don't know why, we talked about saucissson with my friends and they started laughing and I just didn't understand ! And after school when Iasked my parents, they said that they never told me that and it's only then that I realised that what I remembered was a dream ! I felt so stupid !
Now when I think about it, I just laugh. Why would we eat pig's tail? I was so naïve that I belived in my dreams !
