animals

i'm scared of spiders because my mum said they eat you (yeah phat chance)

I used to believe a had an imaginary friend called Sprouty, it was a spider. Sprouty had a friend as well, a huge giant! These were my best friends and we went everywhere together. How we managed to get a giant in the bus I don't know!

When I was a kid, my cousin convinced me that acorns were rabbit eggs. I went around stompin' on acorns for the rest of the day lol... She also told me my kitty would fly if I threw him in the air, needless to say...He never came back home...

I used to believe that the "beeswax" in furniture polish came from the ears of bees - 'cos my wax came from my ears ( frequently syrenged as a child)! I used to wonder how they caught them, how small their ears must have been and if they had really small cotton buds made especially for the purpose.

My mother told me that we she was little, her mother (my granny) pointed to the fields at dusk and said "Oh, listen to the quail."

Mom was sure she said "...listen to the whale" and she thought she could she a whale running about in the nearly dark woods across the field. So she refused to play outside all summer for fear of the whale.

When I was small,I thought caterpillars came out of their cocoon with wings aned their caterpillar bodies.Freaky...

i used to think that little tiny spiders would grow big while my mom wasn'r looking and eat me.

i used to think that flies didn't eat food until i was like 8

My mother and aunt always told us that if you pouted and stuck out your lower lip, that the great bird of paradise would land on your nose and leave droppings on your lip.

i used to believe that horses were canibals and if you were alone with one it would eat you in under 15 seconds my sister said they did and she made me really scared. idiot

when i was younger, about 4 or 5, my parents bought me some fish for my birthday. but the next morning when i woke up they were dead. i was so devestated that they went out and bought me 2 more fish. That night those 2 fish died but knowing how upste i would get while i was sleeping they got my grandma to go but 2 more fish. the only fish she could find has spots on them. so when i woke up and notice my fish had spots on them my mother told me that they had the chicken pox. and i believed her, until i was like 14. i also told everyone that i knew that my fisg had had chicken pox. when i was telling an elderly neighbour is when my mom finally told me the truth.

I used to think that the praying mantis was related to the katydid!

i used to belive that an all white horse was a unicorn but humans caould not see there horn.

this is not me but a friend of mine: I think she got it when she was little. she thinks that ostriches would come and peck her eyes out whenever she saw them. she still thinks that.

i used to beleive horses were evil so i was petrified

I thought that sparrows were young pigeons.
