This thread brought back memories of being told ever since, way back when, once upon a time; when I was a small, but adorable child, that the carrot tops were poison.
It's one of the things you are told to accept, like "don't slam the door the cake will fall," or "eat your brread crust so your hair gets curly."
I never wanted curly hair, so immediatly set about proving that one as true.
We ate the cake no matter what it looked like, but I always had my suspicions as Mom was a terrible cook.
I never worked up my courage to test the carrot tops, I could never get them to tell me what might happen, so I had a baseline for my test results. |
