When I was young, my mother told me that the to-go packets of soy sauce with pictures of pandas on them were panda blood.
Thanks, mom.

This is actually one of my mother's: her mother (my grandmother) convinced her that if she ate lots of cheese and chicken gizzards that she would have larger breasts. My mom tried to convince me of this when I was younger, but even that wouldn't make me eat chicken gizzards,

I used to believe, for abt 4 years, that mushrooms were actually dog pee that grew into mushrooms after a few years at that very spot. Dad filled me in initially, but many days later my cousin told me that was a lie; we got some wild mushrooms in a bag once; the next morning the bag had a nasty shaded liquid in it, with no mushrooms.

I never had mushrooms until a few years back. i enjoy them now . :P

eating cheese before bed gives you nightmares

Whenever I picked white lint from between my toes (from my socks), my parents said it was cheese that I was picking. I think I believed them that it was actually cheese. But I never ate it! Smart move ;-)

I didn’t like eating salad as a kid, and the way my mom got me to finally eat it was by telling me that it was the only way to get gum out of my stomach that I had swallowed at times.

when i was around 8, i got introuble so instead of grounding me from tv or somthing, my dad grounded me from eating my favorite ceriel. i think it was like coco crispies or somthing. a week later, i wasnt grounded form them anymore but my dad wasnt home to get them down from the top of the fridge (okay, maybe like 3 weeks passed.) i asked my brother to get them down but he told me to climb on the counter and get them myself. so i did. i made a bowl and started eating them. my brother walked pass and then said "ew! omg! your eating that ceriel!?' and i was like 'yeah, why?' and he told me moths layed their eggs in it. i spit it out and then my dad walked in and i told him and he said my brother was lying. then later i got grounded fromt hem again and moths started flying out of the box!!!!

When I was little a doctor told my mum I lacked iron and my diet should include iron suplements. As she worked in a shipyard and was explaining this to me in the car on the way to her office I was convinced she would feed me ship parts.

When I was about 8, I remember my mum having an arguement with my bestfriend's parents over the MacDonalds they had bought me. I remember thinking, "gosh, she's (my mum) not even paying for it and she still wont let me have it!'. Little did I realise (until I was about 20), that it was actually a moral choice that my mum didn't want me to have MacDonalds. Thanks mum

I used to think that peas were the poop of the catfish in our pond, so I never ate them. Now I know that that's not true and I love peas! :D

When I was young my father knew how to guarantee that he could have the mince meat pie all to himself. He told my 4 siblings and I that mince meat was really rabbit doo doo. Never tried any, never will.

My older sister told me that carrot baby food was made by a bunch of old women sitting around chewing carrots and then spitting them into jars. My Mom made a great carrot cake which contained carrot baby food which I would never touch. When asked why, I only replied: Do you know where carrot baby food comes from?!?
