I used to think that whenver you got mad, you would turn so red and get so hot, that if you cracked an egg on your head it would fry.

I saw this on tv when it happened to Donald Duck.

i always say what's for dinner to my mom. then she would always say food or stuff. but one night she said sustinance, then i thought that was something new or a new food. but it was another thing meaning for food or stuff, but since i didn't know i ate my whole dinner. my mom then said i ate veal. i almost threw up that i ate baby cow, i didnt though.

When I was little, my Mom used to put her index finger over the end of a ketchup bottle, then "throw it to the ground, but change her mind" . Little did I know, she was getting the rest of the ketchup to the top of the bottle.

My mother never made mashed potatoes when I was a child. The first time I saw them at a neighbour's, I must have gotten a process wrong somewhere. since I asked my mother why she didn't add Spic and Span to her potatoes like the neighbour did!

When I was a child - 9 thru 12 years of age, I believed if you ate after dark, with no one watching,food had no calories. At age 12 - weighing 268 pounds, I realized the calories were still there. Today I know better.

I used to believe that potatoes were made out of bread AND bread was made out of potatoes. I'm not sure how this worked... something along the lines of people digging up potatoes to make them into bread which would be made into potatoes and buried again!

When I was a child a friens dad told me that vinigar was made from buffalo urine!!! needless to say I have since discovered it's not..phew!!!

I used to believe that chicken fingers were sea food. Because whenever you go to a seafood resturant, chicken is always an option.

I thought buffalo wings were wings from a buffalo, for years I looked for their wings

everybody in my family used to be taught that when we eat red paprika as a spice in vegetable sauces and soups, this is what made our cheeks red, and to make us eat carrots my Mom told carrots make us be able to whistle...I stopped believing in this when I stopped to believe in Santa Claus, around 10 years of age.

When i was younger, my parents used to tell me that if i ate fish eggs, i would be really bad in maths. I decided to swear off fish eggs...I often wondered why my parents would keep eating it though..

when i was in my late teens, i finally realised that my parents told me this, so that they would'nt have to share it with me.

Til today, i m not really a fan of fish egg..and i kinda believe tat me being good in maths is attributed to not eating fish eggs!!

I used to think bread grew on trees and people just cut it up and sold it.

When I was little, I came to the conclusion that all our food came from the sea!...but then I remembered that cows don't live in the sea!

My mother was trying to get me to go to bed one night ( I was 4 or 5), but I wanted to stay up and eat pineapples out of a can and watch tv. She told me that eating pineapples at night would cause me to have nightmares. I believed her and I stopped eating pineapple all together.

I used to think Pineapples grew out of palm trees...and i thought the round stubby trees were overgrown pineapples. weird.

I used to believe that fried chicken was good for you. My dad told me that so I wouldn't tell mom that he was cheating on his diet.
