When i was little i used to believe that mother nature was a rich woman who went around the world planting seeds to make babies!

When i was little, my grandparents had a weeping willow tree in their yard. And i always asked them why it was called a weeping willow . And they told me that weeping ment crying. So when i was allowed to go outside and play i would always run up to the tree and hug it and say don't cry be happy. My grandparents always were confused why i did it until i told them one day when i was 14. I relized it wasn't crying.

When I was little I thought the white stuff inside dandelion stems was milk and tried to eat a whole garden full of them. I was quite poorly that evening

my older sister once told me that sea weed was the hair of dead people i always made a point of not touching it and hated going in the sea coz i thought dead people brushed against my legs

I always used to think that trees made the wind (well it would make sense wouldn't it!)

When I was about 8, I was climbing in a maple tree in the yard. Then I saw that some of the leaves had red bumps on them. I thought that the disease could be contaigous from trees to people. I was so scared that I jumped out of the tree without looking down.

Greta

I used to believe that mushrooms in the grass grew if it was sunny and rained at the same time.

Ryan

My dad used to take me to a neighbor friend's house with him. This man had me convinced that every weed you dug out of the ground had a coin entangled in it's roots, that he owned a dollar bill tree,and that if i wished hard he could pull a quarter from my ear.

When I was little I used to believe that when you watered the flowers, you had to pour the water on the flower part of the plant. That was because where the flower was, I thought that that was trhe "mouth" where it takes in water. I believed this until age 7 when I learned that plants get their water by soaking it up from the roots, not the flower!

Goatgirl

When I was little, I saw a show called "Rose Petal Place." The characters were half-human half-flowers. For a while I believed that they were real and they hid in flower gardens.

Living in a rural village as a small child, on our walk to school there were lots of flowers and plants, but I was particularly fascinated by the thistles. My mum (bless her - as a joke) informed me that they were hedgehog eggs not thinking that I would actually believe her......

Gemsy Wemsy

We used to drive by wheat fields on road trips...except that I thought it was all pasta...spaghetti noodles to be specific.

Joan Wyatt

my dad told (in an effort not to buy one) that flocked Christmas trees caused cancer. and I believed that lie for quite some time. (into adulthood unfourtunately)

My 3 year old son (who will be 4 in July)calls bushes "baby trees". :-)

T.K.P.

When I was little, I used to think that if you water pine cones, they'll turn into porcupines. So I picked one off the gound and went back inside. I took care of it like a hampster!

Cyril

I used to think that leaves fell from the sky.
