At my grandparents' house, my brother and I were fighting over the blueberry muffins. Both of us wanted the muffin with the most blueberries showing on the top. In order to stop our fighting, my grandfather told us that the muffins with very few blueberries on top actually had the most inside. So, we started fighting over those!

My mother told me the other day that when she was three years old, her dad brought her and her brothers and sisters a box of giant apples!

The apples where bigger than her hand!
Years passed, and he never saw apples like that ever again.

I used to think that wedding cakes were just a fake decoration especially made for a wedding, with a miniture bride and groom on top of it. I believed it because everytime I went to the country club with my parents, outside the reception ball room there is always a fake wedding cake that advertises for wedding receptions and chefs that can make personalised wedding cakes, and everytime I asked if I was allowed to eat it I would be told, "No, it's fake."

We always celebrated Holidays with close friends and their large extended family. At the end of Christmas dinner one of the boys flipped mashed potatoes off a spoon, across the table. Everyone laughed! The next week, we were invited to dinner at the home of the local school principal. I flipped mashed potatoes across the table and no one thought it was funny! Go figure!

I used to believe that "Vitamin C" was because you could actually "see" it in the orange. However, I never could find/see it!

I used to believe that the temperature of the oil when frying Prawn Chips determined what colour they ended up...
Later found out they are multi-coloured in the packet - That's why the Chef is now my EX-husband!

We were at a restaurant when I was very young, and I demanded that I could order my own breakfast off the menu. My parents said okay, and when the waitress came over I was ready. She asked me what I wanted, and I proudly announced, "Two eggs - any style!"

I had taken my 5 year old son to a popular fish-n-chips place to eat. Our food arrived and as I passed out the food, he loudly exclaimed, "I won't be eating any of those dog balls!" (He was talking about the hushpuppies)

For years I was confused about the slogan, "Leggo my Eggo". I thought it might have something to do with Lego blocks, but I could not understand any connection they would have with waffles, or why there were no Lego blocks included with the waffles. It was only when I was about 12 that I suddenly realized that "Leggo" was an abbreviated version of "Let go".

I always used to wonder what the heck hush puppies were. I knew what fish and shrimp were but couldn't figure out what the heck hush puppies looked like before they were cooked. I asked my dad what hush puppies were and he told me they were little blobs that walked on the floor of the ocean going *hush hush hush hush*. I believed that for a long time.

I am 25 years old and I just found out that Key Lime Pie is not made with kiwi's and lime, but actually a yellowish lime that grows in South Florida called a key lime. It made sense to me that "Key" was obviously short for kiwi.

I am very dissapointed, because the only reason I liked Key Lime pie was because of the kiwi...

When I was little I thought I was the only one in the world that ate breakfast. So one day at my pre-school I was talking to one of my about how I had a waffle for breakfast. He replied "I did too!" and I didn't believe him.

Visiting some friends of my parents at their lake cabin, I went for a walk in the woods with their daughter (a couple years older than I). We found this little reddish object in the road, and she told me it was the heart of a dead animal. She pointed to the holes in it where the "veins" entered, sounding very authoritative, as if she'd seen plenty of animal hearts lying in the road.

She had me grossed out for a few minutes until she finally laughed and admitted, "It's a peach pit, dummy!"

when I was a child I had this fascination with french fries and ketsup. So much that I didn't care how you really said the words..as long as it sounded close people usually got your point right? . After walking into the door of my favorite childhood restarunt I'd happilly grabb my mom or dad and say " Daddy/Mommy....Free Fries and Cat Sh*t!!...PEEEEZ??". My Dad thought it was a riot!

I used to believe that Rose wine was a mixture of red and white wine!
