animals

I used to think that if a gorilla pounded its chest it liked you.

I used to believe that cobwebs were formed by (very creative?) dust particles and were very different from spider webs. My mom told me this because otherwise I would not go into the basement, due to my intense fear of spiders. Unbelievably I was convinced of this until I was in my early 20's. I suppose denial of the truth is a powerful thing!

i used to believe that if u step on ant beds the devil will rise up out of the ground and pull you down and take you to hell

I used to believe that dragonfly bites were dangerous. I believed they could burrow under your skin and live in your head and your brain would be where they stored their eggs. I also used to believe that if you touched anything dead and didn't wash your hands in at least half an hour, you'd turn to dust.

All cats are girls and all dogs are boys..7
- A fire drill is an actual drill/piece of hardware used to put out fires( I kept hearing we were going to have one at school. WHY ARE WE GOING OUTSIDE! I WANNA SEE THE DRILL! 7
- GYM is "gyme" Jim is "Jim" 7
- A man has to pee in a girl to get her pregnant 9
- Girls pee out the same hole they have sex from 25

This is not my belief, but me brother used to believe there was a bird in the front of the car and that was what made the sound of the horn, DIDN'T HE THINK HE WOULD EVENTUALLY SEE IT???

When I was little I saw an American TV show with fishing in it. They were talking about different flies and mentioned wooly buggers. I asked what this was and my Dad said it meant sheep. I don't think he realised I took it at face value and was to continue using it for several years to come.

I totally freaked out when my mother first showed me a peacock. Apparantly I confused the Dutch word of peacock 'paauw' with the imitation of a firing gun: pauw!

My mother has never seen me that scared ever since.

When i was about 5 years old , my mum and dad bought me my first dog.
We had to take her to the vet to get her injections and the vet reffered to my female dog as a bitch. i asked my mum why the vet called her a bitch and my mum said its a name for girl dogs. I then began to wonder what a boy dog was called. then it came to me a bastard trust me when i told my mum my thoughts she werent to happy!!

I obviously misheard someone talk about this along the way but I always thought that otters made pearls (instead of oysters) Actually until about a year ago. (I'm 21)

I used to think that cats laid eggs and that my brother's collection of yellow nerf balls under his bed were my cats nest of eggs. My brother still tortures me with this.

when i was little i used to think e could hatch eggs. so..... me and my sister got an egg and put it in a sock waiting for it to hatch! one day we thought the baby chick (supposedly inside the egg) got bored.. so we picked up the sock and started flinging it around in the air! we almost cried when we had "killed" our baby chick (or so we thought.. it really just cracked open)

I used to believe that there were such things as 'house hippo's' and they lived in my skirting board. I used to think they came out at night to get milk to drink, and so i never saw them.
I wish they did exsist!! :D

I used to believe that crickets could poison you with a special liquid they kept in their legs if you stared at them or get too close...

When I was in third grade I lived at my grandparents house and when my grandma tucked me in at night she would say, "Don't let the bedbugs bite." I imagined a 4 foot long 2 foot tall white cockroach comming into my room and biting me. It was horrifying

I used to believe that all dogs were boys and all cats were girls.
