You know how mcdonalds calls theirchicken nugets "mcnuggets"? Well, when i was little i always asked for chicken mcnuggets when i wanted chicken nuggets, because i thought that was their real name!!! Instead of chicken nuggets.

I used to think that french fries were made out of bread (not potatoes)... the sad thing is, I didn't figure it out until last year, at age 16.

When I was little I noticed there were vegetables shown in my library books that we never ate at home: asparagus, rhubarb, spinach. I assumed that because we were Jewish, and we didn't eat these things, they must be Christian vegetables. Later on, when I brought this up to my parents, they had a good laugh and told me those were just the vegetables they didn't like.

I remembered a cartoon from when I was little that had a monter-lima bean. So whenever my mom made mixed veggies containing lima beans, i would smash them- thinking I was doing the world a great favor, being their hero for killing the monster lima-beans. Once I got the courage to taste one I figured they tasted so horrible because they were alive!!

Once my dad had made hot dogs and hamburgers for my siblings and myself for lunch. I didn't like hamburgers then and wanted a hot dog. But hot dogs always smell and look better than they taste, so when I got it I ended up not eating it. So to try and tempt me, my dad took a slice of American cheese and stuck it on there. After that, I picked off all of the cheese. My sister said it looked dead and my dad said I killed it and wanted to have a funeral. So my sister made up a coffin for my hot dog out of paper. We all collected in the back yard and buried the hot dog under a tree. Several years later I was convinced that if I dug it up, it would still be there.

I used to believe that if you ate too much cheese you would turn into a mouse. My cousins only told me that to make me stop eating cheese because I definetly ate too much cheese.

I used to think the reason people cried when they cut onions was because the onions were alive and who ever was cutting them was killing them.

I also thought the reason we praid before a meal (with onions in it) was TO pay our respect to the onions!

I am 50 years old. Just this past weekend I discovered that Navy beans are white. I always thought they were blue.

My Mum used to tell me to "eat all my dinner - just think of the starving children in Africa, they'd be very grateful to have your dinner." So I got quite confused when I was told off for not finishing what was on my plate because I thought that what I left would go to the starving children in Africa.
