Whenever they told on the news that people in Africa need food aid, I actually thought people would go to stores, buy bread and milk and give the groceries to Red Cross which would ship them to the hungry in Africa.

I used to think that there was a city inside of the bubbles on your pizza. My sister told me so, so I believed her. Now she tells everyone about it.

When I was small, the biscuits I ate were plain rich tea and plain digestives. For one time I wanted to try the chocolate coated ones, but my mum told me that I can only have the plain ones because Mummy cared for me and my teeth. I was so convinced that for quite a long while, I actually felt sorry for children who have chocolate biscuits because I thought their mom didn't care for them.

I honestly thought that the mudpies we made to toss at eachother were actually pies. We used to make a few to set aside and eat later along with purple clover flowers.

i used to associate the word appetite with apples, if you ate apples, you had an appetite.

i work at a school and a little girl there really enjoys playing in the sandbox on the playground, well she had decided to make me pretend food out of the sand, and then she decided she wanted me to make her something, so i told her i would make her an ice cream sundae, then with true concern, she said "STOP, you can't, its not Sunday! make me an ice cream Monday!"

I used to think boil-in-bag rice was made specifically for blind people. One time I got really confused when I saw someone who obviously wasn't blind buying it.

On Thanksgiving, my three-year-old cousin dropped a bit of his turkey, crying out, "Oh no! I dropped my chicken!" When I told him it was turkey, he responded with, "No, it's only turkey on the outside! On the inside it's chicken!"

This may be my older cousins fault, for mistaking the turkey for chicken herself and referring to it as such. Either way, it was the cutest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.

This Tastes Like Chicken!

When I was little, I used to think that "burgerlers" were little cheeseburgers that came into your house through the cracks under the doors and steal all your stuff, which is why I told my mother that locking the doors wouldn't work, because there was still a little crack under the door.

To get me to eat my carrots my mom told me that if I ate them i would turn into a rabbit. I was about two and would ate every carrot put in front of me.

my older brother convinced me that the moon was made of cheese, and if i jumped high enough i could land on it, and the reason the moon could float in space was because it was super light, in fact, it was so light you could blow it towards the sun, melt all of the cheese, and make the BIGGEST bowl of nachos ever.

When I was little, I believed marshmallows grew on trees. So everytime we'd go to the grocery store, I would beg for a bag of the small ones (my "seeds") and run home and plant them. They never grew :(

Stupidly, up until tonight, I believed that caramelized onions were actually cooked in caramel, or something sweet and candy-like similar to that. (keep in mind, I am soon to be 21!) I always thought it sounded so gross, and that the different flavors would not mix at all, wondering why on earth anyone would want to eat something like that. It just didn't sound right to me.
Mom said she was going to make herself some caramelized onions, and something else. It was then that I finally decided to ask, and found out that they are actually onions that are fried very slowly, until they are nearly transparent.
DUHH!!

My aunty Julie told me when I was young that Tartare sauce was made out of turtles, My Sister , Brother and I all believed this till we were in our late teens, not finding out till I mentioned it at a resturant to my boyfriend who was having on fish! I got upset with him and said he shouldn't eat it because they killed baby turtles............obviously he preceded to laugh at me and explain they were Gherkins!

I use to believe that salt would cool food down while pepper would heat your food

I used to eat spinach just like Popeye. I would turn my head to the left so it would go down into my left arm and then to the right. I imagined it going into my arms and making me strong just like him.

Mama

I used to believe that if I ate vegetables, I would have a big power like Popeye. So I ate many vegetables, but I didn't get super powers.

Mrok

I used to think serial killers killed cereal

When I would go to restaurants I thought the people in the back would eat the food i didn't. So I would never eat all my food, so they could have some.
