When I was about 5 someone told me that all white horses were unicorns but only someone who was a virgin and true of heart could see the horns.
I had no idea what a "virgin" was but I became convinced I was somehow bad because I could not see the horns. I believed this until I was almost twelve.

One of my friends told me that when he was a kid he thought windmills were used to keep cows cool!

I and all of my friends believed that it was important to wear a hat at night when going outside. In the midwest summer nights there were always bats flying around. I as well as all of my friends knew that bats could swoop down and get tangeled up in your hair and possibly even raise their young there.

I read a story about Micky Mouse when I was little. It was about a boy who had Micky Mouse as a pet in his house. I thought that Micky Mouse was real, and that people could buy them as a pet. I really wanted some Micky Mice in my house but i didnt know where I could buy one.

When I watched "Alice in Wonderland" for the first time, I really thought that rabbits could talk. I imagined myself seeing and talking to a rabbit that could talk and take me to a places where fantastic things happen. But unfortunately, I never saw a talking rabbit.

I was about 3 when Jaws came out. One day my dad and I were driving some place at night and an ad came on the radio for the movie. I asked my dad some things about the movie. At one point he said that Jaws comes out of the deep dark water and gets people. I looked at the tpitch black area where the truck floor board was under my feet. I decided that if he came out of deep dark areas, then I could be in danger. So I pulled my feet up onto the seat. I refused to put them down the rest of the trip.

I believed you had to color all the dinosaurs in coloring books green because all the dinosaurs WERE green.

My mother once told me that a long time ago, unicorns existed. They were simply extinct because poachers killed them for their horns. I believed this until around 5th grade.

My Uncle Ernie convinced me that he had a baby elephant in his shed. He always used to tell me it's trunk was poking out of the window until I turned round and "just missed it". I beleived him for years and never actually thought to go and check....

I used to believe cats ate dogs and mice ate elephants

When I was in High School Chemistry, my teacher showed us a cow magnet. Apparently farmers make cows swallow strong magnets to attach to other metal things they accidently eat, like nails. This somehow prevents damage.
When he told us about them, he said that they sit in cows stomachs, and when the farmer wants to cows to come back into the barn, he turns on a giant electromagnet and the gentle "pull" in the cows' stomachs makes them go back in...
..apparently, he was joking.

When i was little my friend told me that the rocks in her backyard were hermit crab eggs. So i took a couple rocks, and went home with my mom and then sat on the rocks for a long time, keeping them warm like a chicken.

When I was about eight, I saw scientists on a TV news show talking about how dinosaurs had evolved into smaller animals. Somehow I missed the part about which animals (birds and whatnot) and I believed for a considerable amount of time that dinosaurs has shrunken down to insect size and lived underground. So I would dig for them under this big pine tree in my yard.

When I was 12 my older brother had me convinced that the cows we used to see on steep hills were breed so the two legs on the up-hill side were shorter than the others so they could stand up straight. I used to wonder if they just walked round and round the hill to find new grass or just backed up.

When I was 5 I was in an area with alot of cows. After studying cows and their poos for a bit and noticing that the cows and poos varied in colour, I proclaimed "Black cows do black poos, white cows do white poos and black and white cows do black and white poos"
Logical yeah?

I used to believe that moose were NOT real, that the cartoon moose was a made-up animal. I also believed that "Jack-A-Lopes" (half rabbit half antelopes) WERE real. I was 21 and in college before I found out MOOSE were real animals.
