When I was little my mum told me that food was in packaging to stop little glass men getting in and to stop your mouth from getting cut.

I loved pizza when I was 10 I always wondered why some peperonis are hot some are not. I thought when I wasn't looking aliens put invisible hot sauce on the peperoni.

When I was a child, I used to believe that the famous paila ice creams were cooked and hot. It was disappointing the day I tried one of those ice creams, because they were cold.
I lived in a lie.

When I was in 3rd grade, we had a birdfeeder on the kitchen window. My dad joked about catching and cooking the birds, so one day my mom made Cornish hens and told my brother and I they were mourning doves. I believed her and even wrote about it in my class journal. At the parent-teacher conference, my teacher told my dad I wrote that we'd had mourning doves for dinner - my dad just said that we had - she didn't know how to respond to that!

I remembered a cartoon from when I was little that had a monter-lima bean. So whenever my mom made mixed veggies containing lima beans, i would smash them- thinking I was doing the world a great favor, being their hero for killing the monster lima-beans. Once I got the courage to taste one I figured they tasted so horrible because they were alive!!

When I was little I ate butter by the sick and then my big brother told me that I would turn into a dragon if I ate too much so I stopped eating all the butter.

When I was younger I would eat sandwiches for lunch nearly every day. I would watch my dad cut them and I always wondered where the middle went. I thought that there should have been a little sliver in the middle where the cut was made.

I was convinced that cheese came from a green nice smelling plant that we call the DAUN PANDAN in Malaysia and I told as many people as I could that it truly came from the plant....till today, my kindergarten mates remind me of that very very misguided belief! .....errr I actually made them try to eat the stuff....
