As a child I always used to think that an earwig could crawl into your head through your ear and eat your brain

I once asked my mother how it was that chickens could continue to run around after their heads had been cut off. Instead of simply saying she didn't know, she fooled me into thinking that it was because they had brains in their toes. It wasn't until years later when I told my friends (who rolled around for ages in fits of laughter) that I realised how ridiculous this was.

You know how in cartoons when someone is about to eat, they rub their hands together? Well, once when I was 3 I watched a fly up close and he did the same thing! I screamed and ran away because I thought it was going to eat me!

I Used To Believe That Butter Came From Butterflys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up until I was 12 i thought female dogs gave birth by throwing up the dogs and not threw the other side, i thought this because i dreamt it and thout it was true.

I thought, up until a fairly late age, that cats were just female dogs, or dogs just male cats.. you know what i mean. Funny huh'!

When i was about 8 my sister, who is a year and a bit older than me, told me that there was a horse that could jump all the way over an electricity pylon. She said that it did it by taking a couple of miles run up! When i was about 11 she broke to me in fits of giggles that it wasn't true and i almost cried.

When I was little there was a little mouse in my house. I believed that you could kill mice with crackers with Elmer's glue on them so I fed the mouse cracker after cracker with Elmer's Glue.

I used to think that coyotes were large purple animals that looked a bit like very fat horses. They had green polka-dots on them and razor sharp teeth. When I heard my mom talking about a pack of coyotes, I decided that they could shirnk and that they all lived together inside a back-pack. It was a few years before my dad managed to convince me that they looked like dogs.

When i was little i used to have two dogs of the same breed, and i thought that they came out of factories like toys. o i asked my parents when they broke if we could go to the factory and buy more.

One day when I was 3 or 4 I was at my granny's house and we were out side. I heard a bird singing and it kinda sounded like it was saying something. My granny told me it was saying "pretty girl" , and that it was talking to me. I thought it really was until I was about 8 or 9

I used to believe that dogcatchers were evil people who just drove around taking every dog they saw, stray or not. It scared me because I've always had dogs and I was afraid they'd get kidnapped. I think I got it from watching Garfield and Friends or something.

I have a mate who still, at nearly 18 believes if a moth flies close to your eyes it will blind you with the powder. I have great fun throwing dead moths at him...:) (by the way, I'm just assuming thi isn't true as it's so stupid, if it is true, i apologise!!)

When I was 3 my dog had puppies and my dad told me that the puppies were fighting or one of her nipples because it had chocolate milk. I believed my dog had chocolate milk for about a year or 2 then I mentioned it and my mom laughed at me, and told me my dad was joking when he said that.

My old house used to have cubby holes where squirrels could sneak their way in and you could hear them at night. My sister, doing what older sisters do, told me that squirrels would eat your legs if you got to close. I spent a long part of my childhood terrified of the cute little creatures.

when i was younger i used to see moths flying around light bulbs and other lights etc. i used to believe that they thought that the lights were the moon and that a moths mission in life was to try and fly to the moon so this is why they spent so long flying into the lights.
