I heard of turtle soup when I was little. I thought tomato soup was turtle soup. I thought it should be green but I reasoned that it was red because turtles had red blood. I loved tomato soup and I thought it was neat that I was eating turtles.

My mother used to make the same dessert every night, which was crushed pineapple and junket (like opaque jelly). My sister and I would ask her every dinnertime "what's for dessert?" and she would say "Wait and see". I thought that pineapple and junket was called 'wait and see' and that it was similar to 'curds and whey" (which sounded like it would have been similar).

When I first learned that ketchup is made from tomatoes, I realized that that must be why ketchup is red. I assumed that mustard, therefore, must be made from something yellow. The only two yellow possibilities I could think of at the time were bananas and lemons. So for quite some time I wondered whether mustard was made from lemons or from bananas.

I used to believe that my mother invented peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

I used to believe that bananas were made in factories because I didn't think they had seeds. When a classmate told me that he lived near a banana factory I said Wow do they make bananas there? He said No mate, they package them. Bananas grow... @_@

I remeber when I was about four, we kept the water jug in the fridge. I, of course, was to short to reach it because it was on the top shelf. So for some reason, I started calling it Wa-Wa-High. I was convinced it was that until my preschool teacher told me differently. I was abosulutely crushed
Another time was when I was at my uncles house or something and we were roasting hot-dogs. I might have not roasted my long enough, becausewhen I started eating it, my uncle said my eyes would turn bright green, like an aliens. Me and my sister rushed to the bathroom, to check if our eyes had gone alien on us. They hadn't, but I didn't eat hot-dogs until I was around seven! (I was about five then)

I used to believe brussel sprouts were holy because they had a cross marked in the top when mum boiled them!

I used to believe that the temperature of the oil when frying Prawn Chips determined what colour they ended up...
Later found out they are multi-coloured in the packet - That's why the Chef is now my EX-husband!

I used to believe that grilled cheese sandwiches were really called "girl" cheese sandwiches. I believed this because that's what it sounded like people were saying and my sister, mom and I were the only people I knew who ate them and we are all girls. My father never ate them, I thought it was because he was a boy, but it turned out he just didn't like cheese. Even when my brother got old enough to eat them he didn't like them, so I never said it properly until it was spelled out in something I was reading when I was about 16. I wonder how many people thought I had a speech impediment every time I ever asked for a "girl" cheese sandwich.

When my sister was about 7, she thought that when you drank Kool-Aid or Crystal Light, any drink made from powder, the water would go through your system and the powder stayed in your stomach forever.

Of course, I might have been the one to tell her that...

My mama always told me eating my yams and green beans would make my b**bs grow. I don't know why she had to tell me that, I already loved them.

Know what? It work :-P

I used to believe that Chopsticks were used because people couldn't see properly, and that the chopsticks were antennae that would then sense the food and allow the person to find and eat it.

I used to think sausages were vegetables, and they grew in the ground.
