food: milk

When I was about three my preschool teachers dyed the milk green for St. Patrick's day, and told us that it was the leprechauns. I was also, at this time, horrible afriad of any liquid the color green because the little "Mr. Yuck" sticker for posions was green. Well I thought that that meant poison was green and green meant poison. I wouldn't drink teh milk because i thought the leprechauns poisoned it.
I'm still afraid of leprechauns and green milk.

I knew that some mothers could feed their babies with their own milk. So I thought that if I drank lots of milk that my breasts would be large.

when i was about 4, i thought that cows drank the milk and made it. i asked my mom why they drank ehat they made and she told me they drank water. she probably laughed her head off when i left. i also thought the same for bees, only with honey.

When I was about three, my mother told me that I needed to drink all of my milk to be strong and healthy.

I believed her, so one afternoon while my mom was taking a nap, I poured about a quart of milk into the pot of our ailing ficus tree. It died by the next day.

To this day I still cannot keep a houseplant alive.

When I was little my mum was telling my sister not to drink. Well I didn't know what alcohol was so I went and got her some milk. They burst out in laughter as I was confused as heck!

I use to believe that you could make milk shakes by stirring chocolate milk long enough and fast enough, that's what the blender did. I spent hours stirring my milk, thinking only if I could stir it faster.

When he was like four, my younger cousin only drank iced tea with dinner and hated milk. To get him to drink his milk, my grandmother told him that if he drank anything but milk past 6 PM he would stay short forever because milk made you grow while you slept. He believed it for a LONG time and would holler at us when we drank iced tea or soda at dinner and tell us we'd never get big. Awww. ^_^

When I was in the second grade, my best friend told me that soy milk was really cow spit. I believed him until we had a lesson on soy and found out it was really made of beans. to this day i get grossed out when i drink soy milk, it leaves this mucus in your throat. Yuck!! Cow snot.

Since I was told that milk was good for your teeth, I used to tilt the glass of milk to my lips so that the milk would barely enter my mouth and hold it there and soak my teeth in milk as long as I could for a brighter smile!

At my friend's house one day, we suddenly got an idea to go out and collect acorns. My friend put them in a bowl, along with some grass and water and began mashing it with a stick. And somehow eventually the water turned white. My friend told me it was milk, but even so i didn't have the heart to taste it. From then on I believed acorns, grass and water made milk (why this logic? because cows eat grass and they produce milk). I remember spending a day with a bowlfull of grass and water, but no acorns were at hand. I spent the afternoon mashing it and leaving it in the sun for awhile, till my sister came out and asked me what i was doing. 'Making milk,' I replied. 'But it's not working. I don't have any acorns.'

I thought that eggs were dairy products until I was in third grade. I know, stupid me. :(

I used to beleive that anything that came from a cow was a dairy product (like cow spit or something) o and i thought eggs were dairy products (dunno y) i found that out a few days ago

When I Was Little I Saw My Mom Making Ice Cubes and When They Were Frozen They were White so the next time We had To make Ice Cubes I told Her I would Do it and because when i saw them when they were white i thought it was milk so i made the ice cubes out of milk and when they were frozen and my dad wanted an icecube to put in some water it melted and he had a milk and water drink!!!

I really like to drink milk. And my grandmother didn't like me to drink so much of her milk and tried to scare me by saying if i drank too much i would go deathly pale forever, i didn't believe it. But my sister did and she did for about 3 years, when i proved it too her by buying and drinking 2 litres of it.

When i was smaller, I used to think that milk was white cow urine. I didn't know cows did not pee through their utters at that age! This idea led me to wonder wether or not other animals' urine is nutritious...

When I was growing up in the early 50's, we lived in a neighborhood with a huge variety of ethnic peoples. I had always thought that the only way I could get chocolate milk was to go to the neighbor's house. Mrs. Evans always gave us chocolate milk and cookies. They were African-americans!
