animals

I used to believe that all cats were female and all dogs were male.

I used to think that "Pit bulls" were called "Pimpels"

When I was about 5 I accidentally swallowed a roly-poly bug (I was blowing on it with a straw and acidentally sucked in). Months later I was ill and in the hospital and I overheard the doctors saying I had a "bug" in my system. I was convinced the roly-poly was making me sick!

when i was growing we always went camping. every night we would go "snipe" hunting. i dont exactly remember what a snipe was supposed to be but we were told they were awsome to eat for breakfast. the adults w/us would make noises or have someone hide and do it. we would "catch them w/shoprite bags and place them in the coolers. our parents would stick there hands in the bad and since it was night no one could tell while they pretended there hand was a "snipe". "mysteriously" every morning after, or by the time we got back to our trailers, the snipes would disapeer. when they didnt disapear before we got back we were told never to open the cooler b/c they are really fast and would get out. good times, good times

When I was about six I used to listen to my cat purr. I asked my parents what made her purr, but they didn't know, so I concluded that there was a tractor inside her that was turned on every time I petted her.

This is about my brother. He loved snakes. One day his female snake had a litter of baby snakes. He ran into the house screaming and yelling and my mother thought he had an accident, but he just kept yelling "I'm a father, I'm a father"!

When I was little, my mom told me that bugs and mosquitos try to get into your ear and your ear canal when you go to sleep, so naturally, I slept with a pillow below me and a pillow above me. I got two small pillows, the type that babies sleep on, and still use them to this day.

When I was like 3 or 4 I thought that bumble bees would come and sting my buttacos.

when I was about 5 or 6 I thought my dog was a lion so every time it came up to me i ran down the driveway

I used to think apes lived in mongolia, and the girl apes wore pink bows

When I was little, my father told me that the cows in Switzerland have shorter legs on one said than on the other so that they wouldn't tip over when they are walking on the mountain.

When I was 17, I was introduced to some Swiss people and told them how cool I thought it was that the animals had adapted this way!!! How embarassing.

I used to have a hamster, and my mom and I would put cotton wool in its cage as bedding.
One day my mom told me to clean the cage, change the cotton wool etc...
I couldn't find any cotton wool but I DID however find tampons in the bathroom. Being a seven yearold, I pulled about 10 tampons apart and filled my hamsters cage with them.


My mom wasn't happy

When I was a kid, my grandma gave me this gross rock, telling me it was a dinasaur egg. Wanting it to hatch, I followed her directions to keep it under my pillow until it hatched. I finally realized it was a rock when was 12.

This is a friends belief. When her mother bought crabs for dinner, she thought that they were pets and stole one, very happy when she realised she had saved her crab from being eaten. A few days later, her mother found the decomposing 'pet' in a see-through pencil case, a load of vegitables there to feed it on.

when i was about 6 or so my brother and his friend had told me that hammerhead sharks actually had a hammer for a head. so i used to believe that the hammerhead shakr would hit you with its head. I believed this until i went to the aquarium and found out they just had flat heads.

My niece had a funny understanding of evolution thanks to a tadpole. She witnessed a tadpole become a frog. So she was under the impression that women gave birth to apes that turned into humans as they grew older.
