I used to order "girl cheese sandwiches" from the local restaurant. It seemed right because they were pretty small, made for little girls like me. I was a bit disappointed to find out they were actually "grilled cheese sandwiches".

I used to believe that potatoes were made out of bread AND bread was made out of potatoes. I'm not sure how this worked... something along the lines of people digging up potatoes to make them into bread which would be made into potatoes and buried again!

When I visited my grandparents on their farm, I was shown the hen coop and realised that chickens laid eggs. I saw the pigs in their sty, and believed for YEARS that they "laid" sausages in the same way ...

When I was younger, my parents told me that if I didn't finish all my rice, my wife will grow dimples all over her face... one for each bit rice I didn't eat. I believed it for a little while after that, but then logic set in.

when I was younger my mum told me that tagliatelle came out of italian mens noses, they sat in the corner of a room pulled snot outta their noses and hung on a washing line to dry!! I beleived this 'til high school! The worst thing is i still ate the tagliatelle!

My Dad had me believe - for YEARS - that Lamb meat was man made.

I once thought brown eggs came from a different hole in the chicken. Actually, I still have doubts whether brown eggs really are eggs, and whether they come from the same hole as white eggs. Who knows?

Mom couldn't understand why at dinner time I wanted Chicken Pox.

When I was a child - 9 thru 12 years of age, I believed if you ate after dark, with no one watching,food had no calories. At age 12 - weighing 268 pounds, I realized the calories were still there. Today I know better.

We always celebrated Holidays with close friends and their large extended family. At the end of Christmas dinner one of the boys flipped mashed potatoes off a spoon, across the table. Everyone laughed! The next week, we were invited to dinner at the home of the local school principal. I flipped mashed potatoes across the table and no one thought it was funny! Go figure!

My mother never made mashed potatoes when I was a child. The first time I saw them at a neighbour's, I must have gotten a process wrong somewhere. since I asked my mother why she didn't add Spic and Span to her potatoes like the neighbour did!

My sister and i were on a plane coming home, when the stewardess gave us swiss cheese. My sister wanted mine, so she told me about her friend who turned into a mouse when she was 7, like me. and she told me that you can only eat it is you were 12 or over. I now hate cheese
