animals

When I was 3, 4, and 5 i thought that cats were girls and dogs were boys.

When I was little, my mother said that you could tell what the weather was going to be by looking at cows in the pasture. If they were standing up, it meant it would be sunny. If they were laying down, it meant rain (or maybe it was the other way around?) Anyway, one day, we drove by a farm and I saw that some of the cows were standing up and some laying down. I asked my mother what that meant, and she said "Scattered showers."

I thought worms would hurt their heads (?) by bumping into rocks in the dark, so I collected some and painted them all luminous green, so that they would glow in the dark. I don't know if they could see better, but they didn't live much longer.... sorry, worms

I use to belive that sharks were really nice and wouldn't eat you and that they loved choclate bars. Well i really wanted to see one so i brought a couple of hershey bars. Well, i would throw them in and they would sink a little ways after so i would swim really fast to see a shark, sadley enough i never did.

My older brother and sister told me that dragonflies could sew my mouth and eyes shut. I was terrifed of dragonflies and would fun for safety evey time I saw one.

I used to belive weather could be unbearable for animals, dogs, cats, any type of animal. Like it can be for humans too. Like if we are hot we take of some clothes. And if were cold we put on clothes. Well i figured my cat was hot with all of his fur, so i shaved him, then i realized like us humans, if we want to put on stuff cats cant glue fur back on, thats when my mom came home and brought me to the ER, to evauluate me for animal cruelty.

I used to believe that when people said, "The straw the broke the camel's back" they were talking about a drinking straw. I kept trying to imagine the biggest straw I could hurting this mighty creature and it still didn't make sense.

When I was six my mom told me I was sick and had a stomach "bug" that was making me vomit. I walked into the living room and uncontrollably puked on the floor. I looked down at the mess i had just made and notice there was string in it and on the end of the string was a bug. A lady bug to be specific (which was probably on the floor to begin with)and I was convinced I had gotten rid of the bug so I was all better. For the longest time IO thought ladybugs would make you sick if you touched them.

I read a book when I was little about a little girl who is taught to fly by geese. Needless to say I was very impressed and decided that if geese would teach this kid to fly then why not me? I chased geese around pleading with them to teach me how to fly for about the next 8 months.

When I was a little girl I used to think Dogs were the males and Cats were the females.

this 1 is for my daddy, we went on holiday to sea world and my dad was constantly going on about going to see the "wallyruses" it was only till he pointed to one that we worked out he was trying to say: walrus (he was 46 at the time)

When I was a kid, my dad told me the animal shelter was "kitty heaven." One day while riding in the car with my aunt, we passed the animal shelter. I proclamied, "that's were Muffin lives now." I of course was refering to my dead cat, my aunt just thought I was crazy!

When I was about 7, I decided that rocks were really dinosaur eggs. So for about a week, I left five rocks in my sink, trying to get them warmer so they'd hatch and I'd have some pet dinosaurs. I even planned on keeping them in the backyard when they got bigger. Then if the got out of control, I'd probably move to a farm...

I used to believe that brown cows were the ones that gave chocolate milk, and that cows that lived on mountains had 2 legs shorter than the other 2 so they wouldn't fall over on the mountainside. This was all due to overhearing my parents reminiscing about when my grandfather (Dad's side) and the things he told my aunt, who also believed them. I didn't figure out why they were laughing until I was older.

I remember my aunt had two identically marked cats, Abadon and Adolph. I asked, what kind of a cat is Adolph. And she said he's a male cat. I asked about Abadon and she said she is Adolph's mother. I knew there were boys and men and fathers and girls and women and mothers, but didn't know there were males and females. So of course I heard "mail cat".

So I thought long and hard about how this cat could be a mail cat. I figured that's why she let him out in the morning because he had a lot to do during the day - delivering the mail, helping with the mail and such.

Once I saw a man using a monkey grinder on TV. When I saw the monkey just instantly dance, I was totally convinced. Once I went over to my friends house and she said, "Wanna play with my jack in the box?" To which I replied, "No they hypnotize you!" I thought that the monkey grinder was a jack in the box and that they make you dance when you hear it. From then on, I referred to a monkey grinder as a "monkey box".
