when i was little, i watched these kids bible videos called veggie tales. being easily fooled by the CGI, i belived that all vegtables could hop, an talk, and do normal stuff when in the fridge.as a result i would sneak the plastic bags off them b/c my mom told them not to put them over my head, and naturally, i didnt want them to suffocate. and 1 time i refused to eat my asparugus, and i was crying. then my dad said"c'mon, dont you wanna eat Junoir?" i promply screamed at my parents for eating junior, and got sent to my room. (my parents figured out that they had to tell me wonders about the vegtables to get me to eat them, like "if you eat asparugus, your pee-pee will come out orange" i belived them and choked down down the asparugus and ran into the bath room, then started yelling stuuf like"go pee-pees! i wanna see my orange pee-pee!")

When I was in elementary school, I saw an episode of The Magic School Bus, in which a character's skin turned orange ater eating alot of carrot-like snacks. I figure that it would be cool to be orange so I took out a bag of baby carrots and binge ate them. I didn't turn orange but I did get sick!

Until I was about 8,I thought my school lunch was an advanced civilization.The pizza was actually a suburb with millions of little cheese people and the pepperoni where a school,city hall,and a rec center.The fruit cup was actually a deep swimming poll filled with large pool toys.The milk jug was actually the town's water tower.I even gave each lunch a name.

Maybe I should've watched less sci-fi when I little.

When I was little I used to believe that rice was really noodles cut into little pieces

My brother and I used to believe that lobster tails were poisonous to eat if you were under 18 years of age. We grew up in Maine and my dad would get our loster tails whenever we ate lobster for dinner. The plot was revealed when we had lobster at a friend's house and the parents were confused upon receiving our lobster tails.

When my brother was little, he was very picky with what he would eat- only fruits and vegetables. He considered himself a "Fruititarian." We convinced him that chicken grew on a tree and was a fruit so that he would eat. He believed that for years.

When I was a little kid I used to hate butter. If I saw someone putting butter on my food I would flip out. It didn't matter if it was on rolls, mashed potatoes, I wanted nothing to do with that stuff. Well, my grandmother always made this toast for me with this amazing secret seasoning, so everytime I would go over there, I'd ask her to make me some toast with the seasoning. It was only several years later that she revealed she had been putting butter on my toast all those years!!

When my sister was about 7, she thought that when you drank Kool-Aid or Crystal Light, any drink made from powder, the water would go through your system and the powder stayed in your stomach forever.

Of course, I might have been the one to tell her that...

I used to think that hamburgers actually had slices of ham on them.

I used to believe that burritos were animals, so when we had burritos for lunch at my school, I'd cut it with a fork and show my meat sauce covered fork to the other boys and go "YAAAAAAAAH!!! DISEMBOWELMENT!!!" And they'd freak out.

When I was little, I had weird names for food. I called peas "green ball catchers" and ice cream sandwiches "oaches." Weird!!

Ice cream is good:)

i had a classmate in college who believed that organic meat meant that they whited for the the animals to die of nachel carers

When I was little I was told I had to wipe up well with my napkin after every meal or the buggies would eat me. I few years later I was stung by a bee while eating a hot dog. After that I wiped up after every bite.

when my mom would make my sandwhiches when i was younger, she usually cut it in half for me.

one day she cut it in quarters and i said HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EAT THAT MUCH! thinking that by cutting 1 sanwich into more pieces, it meant more food :P

the moment i realized that spaghetti and sauce were two separate things, that was my first childhood epiphany. a natural skeptic, though, i insisted on observing my mother prepare it because i couldn't believe those brown twiggy things were actually floppy red spaghetti.
