When I was a kid, my mom and dad would sometimes sing this song to me about peanuts. It had something to do with eating a rotten peanut and going to heaven, but heaven was full, so I came back down... and I don't remember the rest. I used to be terrified of eating peanuts, because if I ever got a rotten one, that would be it!

While playing in the kitchen as my mom cooked, I asked her about the bottle of vanilla extract that she was using for eggnog. I asked what it tasted like, and she said I shouldn't try it. I asked if I drank it would it poison me and she said yes (I imagine she was suggesting that drinking the bottle would make me sick). To this day I believe that vanilla extract will poison you.

I used to believe that eating raw potatoes would give you worms, like dogs get.

I once was eating lunch at school, and a friend offered me a "cracker". She asked me how it was, and I, not wanting to be rude, just nodded in agreement. Much to my surprise, she told me, after it had alrwady gone down, that I had just eaten cat food! I thought I would die or get some weird disease or turn into a cat *meow*! Anyway, i never considered that cats eat the stuff all their life and dont die!

When I was little and I would help my Mom bake cookies I used eat the raw dough. My Mom started telling me that if I ate alot of raw cookie dough I would get worms so I would start asking her each time I took a bite if it was small enough so I wouldn't get worms.

When I was little my father would use the rotisserie every Sunday for a roast beef. The hole made by the skewer through the meat looked so suspect to me, I always imagined it was from a worm going through the meat, and would cut around it, leaving this little beef donut on my plate.

My mother told me that I should not take food from strangers because it might be poisoned. She then had to clarify that I could eat food at my friends' parents houses, because their food would not be poisoned. So I came to the conclusion that parents of young children had some sort of special ability to know if food was poisonous and wondered why anyone ever ate anything with poison because they should just ask a parent of a small child to check.

My mom once told me that cookie dough is poisionis. So one time, while she was gone for a minute I ate some and I got Horrably sick. It turns out that I got salmanila poisoning from the eggs.

To this day I don't like cookie dough

I stopped eating bananas for several years because I thought the little black things that were in the middle of the banana when you bit it were a spider's legs sticking up and that there were spiders in every banana.

When I was younger, I was told that the black hairlike bits in the end of the banana were poisonous, so, since then, I have always made sure to break off the last inch or so of the banana before I ate it. Even today I cannot eat a whole banana, end to end!

Two summers ago, 2006, a girl from Belarus came for six weeks through a charity (chernobylkidslondon.com). Anyways, we went to a belarussian store and she bouht a bag of - can you geuss?- whole dried fish. With the eyes and everything. I was terribly disgusted, just by the fact that she was eating dried fish like candy, and the fact that I thought she was going to choke and die from the bones and skull. Probably from when I choked on a fish bone, and the fact that I could hear her crunching on them. Needless to say, I always kept an eye out for her choking when she ate the stuff.

When I was little, I thought that if you just ate plain ketchup (no food with it), it made a hole in your stomach and it leaked into your body and that is why blood is red!!
