Childhood beliefs as an adult

this thread is so funny! The only one I can remember off hand right now is that my mom used to tell me that pork chops were just "special white steak" since I was such a picky eater but loved steak. It wasnt till I was in high school that I realized she had been tricking me the whole time.

Ha the porkchop one reminds me that my parents used to tell me that pickled beets were "purple pickles" because purple was my favourite colour, and I loved pickles, but hated beets... i still call them that to this day! I would devour them back then!

I have always called my Sister ¨sister¨ I always thought it was weird that other brothers and sisters called each other by their real names. As I got older, of course it suck. The only thing was the other adults around us kind of looked at us funny. I guess some things are left for when you are a kid, but I just cant seem to give it up!

I also remember my mom telling me that the middle finger ment shut up lol

Ok, I have a good one. My mother was German so she always talked half in German and half in English (with an accent). Well, when we were little and she would give us a bath, she would say "you have to wash your mushimika" so for years (and I do mean years) I did not know what a vagina was because we called it a mushimika!

I love this thread!!!

I have a lyrics one...my friend used to think that CCRs Bad Moon Rising went like this...

"Dont go around tonight,

Well, its bound to take your life,

Theres a bathroom on the right. (instead of bad moon on the rise)
