when i was little i saw on the tv a turtle laying tiny eggs and to me these eggs looked like grapes, so i always thought grapes came from turtles. i was only corrected when one day i (feeling quite clever) told my mum that grapes came from turtles, "i saw it on the tv!"

oops.

When I was 4 or 5, my cousins had me absolutely convinced that if you touched a fish's eye with your finger, the eyeball would explode.

I used to believe lions were male and tigers were female.

i thought all animals other than lizards and fish were mammals. this was until like two years ago (i'm 18) and we did animal classification in a.p. biology.

If you step on a turtle it will not release you until it thunders.

When I was little, my dad would tell me all the sounds the animals would make. One day, I got a playset with African animals, and he picked up the zebra and told me that they said "zeeeeebra!" I believed this until I saw real zebras on TV.

Zeeeeeebra!

When I was little I after watching a certain movie I thought elephants could really fly. Can you guess the movie?

The one

When I was little my grandparents told me that cows get spots where the water, from their drinking ponds touch them. I actually belived this until about the age of 13. Needless to say I felt really stupid when I tried to tell a friend that and she just laughed at me. Now that I have my own kids I can't wait to pass on this little bit of knowledge to them. Hehe.

When i was little i always thought that if you kissed a frog or a toad it would turn into a really hot guy and you would live happily ever after. i kissed a whole lot af frogs and toads none of them ever turned in to a hot guy :(

I used to believe that buckeyes (from the tree) were baby porcupines...

when I was little, driving around with my parents, if we smelled skunk, my mom would tell me that the skunks were scared, that's why they sprayed their smell. I believed that for so long, till I was around 12 or 13 and I repeated it to my mom and she laughed at me. little skunks, sitting scared on the side of the road...

Thanks to the song about the old woman who swallowed a fly, I used to think that not only did cows eat dogs, but horses ate cows!

Jo who's now feeling a little foolish

When I was in the 3rd grade. There was a small farm house whose yard bordered my school. They had many animals, including ducks. I believed that I could talk to the ducks and was able to convince others that they were talking to me. I managed to use it this gift to my advantage. I told many of my more gullible classmates that the ducks wanted the desserts they brought in their lunch. they would give them to me and I would feed them to the ducks. Of course daily the ducks watched curiously as I walked up to the fence and emptied my pockets of twinkies and ho ho's and feasted in front of them.

once, my dad took me on a boat ride. there i was leaning over the edge, trailing my hand in the water, then my dad told me to be careful. the 'logfish' would bite my hand if i put it in the water. for the rest of the day we were logfish spotting. years later when we were out on a bout my dad told me the truth. (i fell for it!!)
