I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

I thought peas were little unborn animals. Because they had a "cocoon". Refused to eat peas for years.

My alcoholic aunt scared me out of eating broccoli for most of my life. When I was ~5 I was watching Powerpuff girls and there was an episode where broccoli aliens attack earth. My aunt told me if I kept eating broccoli I would turn into a broccoli monster like the ones on TV. I fucking love broccoli and only found out when I was 18 or 19. I could've been eating broccoli this whole time and I'll never forgive my aunt or my stupidity for the countless years wasted not eating it.

I believe a demented aunt might have been involved with mine too.

Maybe you got it confused with pea moths.
