when i was little, after every meal my mom told me to leave a little bit of food on my plate for my guardian angel. when i was done eating i pushed all the food that was left on my plate to the center and then leave the table. the plate was always gone in the morning so that meant my angel ate it all

I used to think croutons were hard chicken.

since my mother has an accent I used to believe that "boiled eggs" were actually "bald eggs". It made complete sense to me because the egg, once boiled, looked bald!

When I was 7 my dad told me that since the frozen dinner's said "Let stand 2-3 minutes.", I had to stand in a corner and wait 2-3 minutes every time I made myself a Kid Cuisine.

Around the age of 4, after watching my family sprinkle salt on their food for almost every meal, I came to the conclusion that salt cooled your food down for you. It took a while for my mom to realize why I would pour heaps of salt on my food then sit back and wait.

When I was a kid my Dad used to tell me that in order to get wheat bread that darker color it was made with crushed up bugs along with the wheat....I didnt eat wheat bread for years until I learned how it was really made.

When I was little I thought that my body was hollow and when I ate the food would fill it up. When it reached my throat that's when I would get sick and throw up all the food so that I was hollow again!

I used to think that our family of only girls had "girl" cheese sandwiches. While the houses that only had boys had "boy" cheese sandwiches. Later I learned that in Missouri we are lazy speakers and no one enunciated "grilled."

I always thought buffalo wings were chopped up pieces of buffalo.

I used to be paranoid of finding a baby chick instead of a yolk in my eggs. I got this idea that all eggs had baby chickens inside them. also, we had recently been learning in class about certain animal behaviors such as overprotective mothers. thus, when my grandma showed me an ostrich egg I warned her not to eat it or the chicken's mommy would come get her.

Up until I was 10 I used to believe turkey was vegetarian.

Up until I was about 15, I thought that the spoons that came with McDonald's Mcflurry's were straws. Needless to say, I was frustrated when, time after time, I couldn't get any ice cream to go up the straw.

My brother used to believe that you can't eat veggies because they have bugs in it!!! He saw a bug eating spinach and the supermarket and got freaked out so much that he called for the nearest employee to whack the bug with the leek he had in his hand! He was 4 at that time!

When my mom gave me my daily Flintstone chewable vitamin, I thought it was important that I get a different character each day, otherwise I wouldn't be getting all of my vitamins.

I thought you could make a profit out of profiteroles.

Heh, when I was really young I hated mustard sauce, so everytime it came in a fast food sandwich my mom would tell me it was "yellow ketchup" - you know, just so she didn't have to order one without it. Reasonable enough, since you can't even taste it. Still, I believed it until I was about 13 or so.
