I used to hate eating broccoli when I was little, until my mother told me they were baby trees, and I was wasting them if I didn't eat them. After that I always ate every bit of broccoli on my plate.

My friend believed that chicken stock, or chicken essense was made by getting a bunch of chickens, and boiling them down in a big pot to create "Essense of chicken".

I went thru a phase where I thought table scraps had feelings just like people, so every time my mom tried to clear the table, I'd go into hysterics. Once time in particular, I managed to cling to a banana peel for a couple of days before my mom found it and chucked my new friend into the garbage. I cried and pleaded with her, and finally she offered to buy me a banana-peel chew toy, the kind they make for dogs, as a replacement to pacify me. She never did get me one, though.

when my mom would make my sandwhiches when i was younger, she usually cut it in half for me.
one day she cut it in quarters and i said HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EAT THAT MUCH! thinking that by cutting 1 sanwich into more pieces, it meant more food :P

My sister thought that soy sauce was called soil sauce because it was made out of soil. She still ate it though. In fact she loved it.

When I was younger we had guinea pigs called Bubble and Squeak - hence the reason why I thought for a long time that bubble and squeak was made of guinea pigs!

I used to think that chips were made out of fish. I couldn't understand why we kept eating fish with chips, I mean Why eat fish with a side serving of fish?

My mother is a terrible cook and often tells a story about one of the first times I ever went to a Chinese restaurant (I was probably about 5 years old). When the meal came I jumped up on my seat and screamed "What's THAT??!!" My family asked what on Earth I was talking about and I said "Those orange things! What are THEY??!!" My mother replied "Why, they're carrots, dear." My response: "NO THEY'RE NOT! Carrots are BROWN!" A true testament to my mother's cooking.

when I was younger my sister & her friend told me & my friend that if we ate dandelion stems we would be beautiful...
Needless to say, we ended up pissing our pants due to the diuretic effect of eating said plants.
My question is how my sister knew that would happen, she was only 7.
