When I was little, I was convinced you could bend a cracker. If you were quick enough, it would bend into a little V-shape. Of course, this only resulted in smashed crackers all over the living room floor.

A few years ago my cousin (now 9 years old) used to call eggs "eggimos". My grandma to this day still calls eggs "eggimos" in front of my cousin, and he gets all embarassed and yells "I don't call eggs that anymore Grannie!" She'd just laugh. I called them that once too, when I was asking him what he wanted for breakfast. "Do you want eggimos, or pancakes?" "Eggimos? What are you nuts!?!? There EGGS!" He exclaimed. I still laugh at that.

When I was young I believed, for some strange reason, that only apples my mom ate turned brown. I thought she had something in her mouth that turned them brown. One year we left out some fruit for Santa and in the morning the half-eaten apple was, of course, brown. I was convinced my mom was playing Santa. She somehow convinced me that she had only eaten the apple after Santa didn't want it.:O)

While growing up, us kids always had Knudsen's lemon flavored yogurt for a snack. We knew of no other brands or flavors, so all we ever asked for was "Knudsen's Yogurt!" but it was just a phrase since we did not really know about different brand names. Well one day I saw a cartoon of a witch making a special brew and one ingredient was "eye of newt." I found out a newt was a little animal like a lizard. I wanted to get one because they must be delicious since I figured out that we eat "Newts and Yogurt."

I used to think that eggs were actually called 'neggs'. Rational being that it was one was 'a negg'

When I was about 3-to-5 years old (can't remember exact age), I was eating quail eggs. At that age, I haven't been paying attention to my willie. Then After having the quail eggs, I suddenly notice my testicles and thought those are the quail eggs I ate.

I used to believe that white eggs were from city chickens and that brown eggs were from the country chickens.

My mum's younger sister had always come to my mum for baby advice. Once, me, the nosy child overheard their conversation about my aunt's struggles of weaning little Gary. (via, the baby.)

After I heard the word, "Weaned", I had this vivid picture of my aunt and these other women, circled around little Gary's high chair, holding packages of Oscar Myer "Weanies". Their only intention being to feed Gary nothing but weanies for a full year. Only then would he be able to advance to "big kid" food. They then proceeded to stuff the weeinies down Gary's throat... hey, how else was he goin to get "weaned?"

I was jealous of Gary because HE got to eat hotdogs everyday whilst I was stuck with lima beans, cauliflower and viel.

It never occured to me that hotdogs are a major choking hazard for infants... DOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer....

I use to believe that marbles were eatable.

I thought that scone was slang for snow cone so I begged my mom for one at an outdoor fair. I was very disappointed to receive a cookie instead of shaved ice.

My sister told me that i was allergic to nuts so i wouldn't eat all the nuts. After i found she was lying, I threw a bag of nuts at her!!

My dad used to tell me that guacamole came from the eggs of the guac bird.

i used to believe that pimentos (as in pimento-cheese) were little fish, like anchovies. Consequently, i never ate pimento-cheese until i found out differently.

I used to believe that Soup of the Day was made especially just for me. I was always amazed that restaurants knew I was going to eating there and had prepared it

When I was a little girl, my mom used to make sandwiches for me and my brother. I would always have a grilled cheese sandwich, since I guess I did a minor transposition in my head and turned "grilled" into "girled." My brother always ate boysenberry sandwiches (since they were obviously for boys) after he realized they weren't POISONberry sandwiches and our mother wasn't really trying to kill us.
