When I was 6 a girl in the school cafeteria told me that I wasn't getting any vitamins from peeled apple slices, because the vitamins were really the dots on the apple peels!

When I was about 4 my friend had the chicken pox. I went to her door to see if she could come out and play. She said "no" because she ahd the chicken pox.(I never had the chicken pox, I did not know what they were) At the same time she was eating a bag of chips, and I thought they were called Chicken Pox. I would always look for the chips called "Chicken Pox" when I was in the store. I obviously never found any.

i used to think eyeballs were like made of the same material as hardboiled eggs!!!!!!
and then with actual hardboiled eggs i thought when i would open the middle that a baby bird would be sleeping in it. so i was afraid of eating them, or at least the yolk part for that matter.

My father is 50 years old, and is FIRMLY convinced that raisins and prunes grow on trees. I've tried several times to convince him that they're really dried grapes and plums, but with no success.

as I grew up hated pumpkin and was sick when forced to eat any and could never understand how me leaving any food could possibly get to the starving kids eleswhere in the world .

When I was 4 or 5 my mom told me that if I ate a peach, there would be a prize at the center for me. At that time I was a picky eater and she claims that I only liked sweets. So she handed me a peach, left for where ever she went, I ate that peach right down to that dirty pit. I still remember my disappointment that I didn't get a prize and I had to eat something I didn't like.

when i was little, my parents would sometimes make eggs for me for breakfast. it was ok when my mom did it, but my dad always managed to get little pieces of the shell in it, which i thought were nuts. so i'd ask him each time to please make the eggs without nuts, and of course he had no idea what i was talking about.

One of the ways my mother would get myself and my sisters to finish every garin of rice in our bowl was telling us that the number grains left over would determine how many kids we would have.

I once asked my mom what the bumps were on potatoes, snd she told me they were called eye's. (Which they are, but my understanding was a bit different...) I actually thought they could see you. Which made me believe everything had eyes, even the vacuum. Wow, what an imagination.

In pre school some girl that was older than me told me that there were worms inside ham burgers. About a week after that my dad ate a hamburger and I thought that I worm would grow inside of him and kill him. Then I thought that his hair was one giant worm.

My dad told me that if I eat lots of bananas, I'll be able to whistle. I ate tons of bananas and I totally believed him. I can whistle and my brother still can't! Guess he should have eaten more bananas!!

i used to believe that my heart was actually made up of the red apple skins. When in the supermarket, i tried to pick the apples with the most red on. I was upset when I was told to get cooking apples, coz they were green

I used to believe that butter was yummy. I ate an entire stick of butter when i was 5. I blamed the missing butter on the dog.

I used to believe that if I ate the crust on my bread, I'd grow hair on my chest.
