when I was very young - somewhere between preK and 1st grade, I thought EVERTYONE commonly ate lobster for dinner. My Dad bought out the inventory of a Seafood distributor going out of business, so my family ate lobster for dinner at least twice a month for about a year.

This isn't actually my belief, but my best friends, and I still tease him about it to this day. He said to me once, I really like bananas, but when you go to the store you have to buy so many, so I don't. It took me a minute to realize that he believed that you had to buy them in bunches like they sit on the shelves. He didn't realize that you can break off as many as you want and leave the rest. Men!

I used to believe that however old I was, that's how many spoonfuls of sugar I should be allowed to put in my cereal.

I look at that idea very differently now that I'm 37!

When my sister was little she somehow got confused about the old adage that eating carrots made your eyesite better - she thought it made her eyes "shiny". We just went along with it since she was very eager to finish her carrots if it was going to do that. For awhile she would always end a meal asking one of us if her eyes looked shiny.

I used to love Chi-chi's when I was younger, and I loved to eat "fried ice cream". My grampa told me that they had in the back special deep friers that were hotter than normal, and that way they could dip the ice cream in really quick and it wouldn't melt, only develop a crunch coating on the outside. And I believed him!

When we had chicken for dinner my older brother and sister told me, that if you would eat chicken wings one day you could fly! Of course that was exactly what I wanted to do! So I specialized on chicken wings, while they ate away on those legs, that being the reason why they told me that story in the first place. Everybody was happy for a long time with this agreement!

My parents used 2 tell me if I ate lots of carrots I'd be able 2 see in the dark & that rabbits could see in their burrows bcz they ate carrots...well of course I wanted to see in the dark & consumed vast quantities of carrots thereafter. It did the trick though...I still realllllllllllly love carrots! Yum! :P

When I was really young I thought the food you ate just dropped down into your body and would slowly pile up starting at your feet. This theory was confirmed I thought when I was at the hospital once and had a chest x-ray done. The doctor was showing the image to my dad and I and my dad was pointing out my lungs to me. The bottom of the x-ray was really dark so I pointed to it and said "and that's the food I ate?" My dad goes "ya", probably cause he didn't know what I was talking about. I struggled with the problem of what happens when you fill up your whole body for awhile until I learned about digestive systems in school.

I used to believe pinto beans were things that came from inside someone's ear so they could hear. One day in school I started talking to one, thinking someone could actually hear me.

In the early 70's, I think it was Ragu that ran TV commercials where workers were picking cooked spaghetti noodles off of trees, on the spaghetti farm. My dad told me this was really where spaghetti came from -- it was harvested from trees. I believed this for quite some time.

I hate cocoanuts but my sister told me if I ate them and made a wish, it would come true. I ate so many, and my wishes never came true...

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 used to think after watching a old 70's ad for Shredded Wheat that I could make it
by picking wheat (or simular) and adding
water in a bowl.

I never ate any thought.
