When I was in grade school, there would always be two choices for lunch. The first choice is what most of the kids would order. I'd usually be the only kid that would order 2nd choice. The only reason I did was because I thought the lunch ladies would be sad if no one ordered the 2nd choice.

I used to think that corn flakes were the middle of the cob sliced ver-r-r-y thin and baked. I suppose like crisps (US- chips). I thought it was brilliant that they had something to do with the cob when the corn kernels had been taken off and put into tins. I think I was into my teens before this belief was shaken, and I still think it's a shame it's not true. (After all, shredded wheat is demonstrably made out of twigs, and nobody's convincing me otherwise!)

I believed when I was little that the crunchy stuff on fried chicken was actually the chicken's feathers. They would just pop the chicken into the oven and it would come out looking like fried chicken...

When I was really little, I really hated onions, but I really loved carrots. So my parents decided to say that the onions where in fact ‘White Carrots’, and foolishly I believed them and I ate them ¬.¬’

Once I was spending time with 6 year old Francis and her mom. They decided to go get some Ice Cream at the local McDonald's. When they pulled in the person at the counter said there were no more ice cream cones. Her mother said to Francis, "Well, we'll get you an Ice Cream Sunday then." Francis' reply was hilarious: "But mom, I don't want an ice cream Sunday, I want one now!"

i am so weird, I used to think that oranges and other fruits had feelings, and that scientists just hadn't discovered it yet, and it hurt the fruits when their skin was cut with knives. thats why i thought the apples would turn brown. I refused fruit for a long while. my mama thought i was crazy. she still does, actually.

I once believed that there was a man in the toaster who "bought" bread and paid for it in toast. I thought the wait was so he could inspect the bread before paying. Once, our toaster broke down and I thought the man stopped buying from us because the bread was in bad condition.

When I was little, I always thought that there was someone behind the McDonald's menu sign in the drivethrough talking through the intercom where you place your order. My mother was curious when she saw me looking for the man out the window as we pulled out.

I use to believe that green eggs and ham were real. After reading the book in 3rd grade we had a Green eggs and ham party thing, where they gave us green eggs and ham, which were of course, just eggs with food coloring on them. Well, being that I thought they were some sort of strange egg I refused to eat them, saying I didn't like them. The teacher assumed I just didn't like eggs.

Years later my little brother and my cousin and I were sitting in my living room talking. My little brother was telling us about his green eggs and ham party, and my cousin and him started talking about how they couldn't make them right because they were only suppost to have the yolk be green. Obviously, I was extremely confused. So I told them I asked them about it. They laughed at me for about 15 minutes.

So a few days later I told my friend about it, and apparently she thought they were real too. So, we asked her dad while he was taking me to my house. He told us that they were real, but only if they are extremely old eggs, and if we see them we better not eat them.

I used to believe that my parents swallowed the toothpaste after they brushed their teeth because I never saw them spit it out. So one day I brushed my teeth and swallowed all the toothpaste in my mouth, and said "Mom! I swallowed the toothpaste like you and dad!" and she told me if I did it again she was going to have to call Poison Control. I never did it again.

I used to think that broccoli was a shrunken-down tree,

I used to believe a cornucopia was corn on the cob with many other vegetables around it, because I misheard "horn" as "corn" when I was learning what it was, and I think the name didn't help, either.

corn of plenty?

I used to believe that broccoli were small trees

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 Dad used to tell me that if I didn't eat my beans I would never grow. One day we were shopping and my Dad ran into an old friend of his and introduced his wife. The wife was very, very short. I piped up and said, "She didn't eat her beans, did she daddy?"
