Raw cookie dough won’t give you worms, but it might give you salmonella, which is a bacteria, not a worm.

My mom always used that “stop making that face or it’ll freeze like that” line on me. I believed this so deeply that, until I was in my late teens, I would smooth out my face at night so I wouldn’t wake up all wrinkly.

To my credit, I have very few lines and wrinkles for a woman of my age. So there.

All moms say that. I just don’t think they want us eating all the dough.

mom told me eating raw cookie dough when she was making chocolate chip cookies would give me worms in my stomach.

i’m with you on the chow mien. i throw up the first time my mom made me eat it and thought that all chinese food would make me throw up too. thank god for lee ann chin – she eased me back into without fear. not that lee ann chin is actual chinese food.

i’ve been mentally composing a post similar to this idea, although more like “things i was pretty sure would happen to me.” for instance, i was pretty sure that i would get kidnapped.

on another note: my dad told me that potato chips were made out of scabs and ketchup. it seemed kind of false, but it also seemed a little true. i could never find the ketchuppy flavor in a potato chip, though.
