when my brother was about three, he told my parents that our neighbor was growing chickens in her garden because that is where she buried the heads of the chickens when she killed them

I used to believe that eggs bought at the grocery store would hatch if I took good care of them. I'd fill a cookie tin with cotton balls, nestle eggs inside, and set it on the heat register in my room.
I hope I don't sound racist, because I'm not. But anyway, when I was 3 0r 4 I used to believe that african americans owned black dogs. I asked my day care teacher (who was african american) if she owned a black dog, and she laughed. I didn't get it.

I used to think that when a cat would rub up against me, that it wanted me to get out of its way...
This is actually about my little brother...
Until he was about 13, he was absolutely convinced that yellow ladybugs were poisonous. Boy, did he freak out when he found me holding one...
When I was very small My Mum and I watched a man walking his dog. Mum said it was a greyhound. A couple of days later we saw several dogs being walked and I took great pleasure in telling my mum that the men were walking a patch hound, a brown hound, a stripey hound, a white hound and a grey hound!

I used to believe…
whenever i caught a ladybug i would always say the rhyme "ladybug, ladybug, fly away home. your house is on fire and your children are alone". i always wondered how all the ladybugs managed to catch their houses on fire...
when i was about 4 i discovered a sow bug for the first time. i showed it to my mom and asked her what it was. she told me it was a sow bug, but i heard her say "salad bug". for the longest time i beleived that this was what they were called, and i thought that they lived in salads.
I used to believe that when each family was out of the house, my dog Nikki, and my godmother's dog and cat Sasha and Bandit would get together and have parties where they would do nothing but dance all night long. I always thought Bandit would win the prize for the best moves.
When I was little our baseball team was sponsored by a company named "Tony's Broadloam and Carpets," only there was a space between Car and pets. I thought they sold tiny animals that would live in your car. I asked the coach if we would all get car pets if we won a game. He thought I was being a smart ass
For 14 years of my life, I have believed that a Quail is in fact a whale. I could have sworn I learned this on the Discovery Channel. But, just recently I was informed that no, it is not a whale, but in fact a BIRD! What a conspiracy. :D
I managed to convince my cousin visiting from America that in Australia we call 'Koala Bears' 'Drop Bears'! We told her that if you walked under a gum tree it would drop down and try to bite your neck! She was so convinced that she would run screaming when ever she walked under a tree!
when i was little i thought everyone was a animal and only i could see their real form so i would always refer to a person as the goat man or something on the lines of that.

I used to belief that farmers had to kill the cow to get the milk.
My belief has to do with earwigs. NO, it is not the stupid brain eating thing thats all over this site. When I was at a relative's house (Maybe grandma's) I saw some tall plants with a big mess of platelike things shaped like a pineapple. Curious, I peeled of the plates layer by layer. Well, I was on the third layer when the back end of an earwig poked out. I thought the plant was pissed at me and the pincher thing was part of it that it reached out to grab me and pull me in! Another one is when was at my old friend Steven's house and we were going to go down the slide, but there was a spider web on it. We were about 3 years old, and thought the spider would kill us if we broke it. Steven, the clever guy he is, came up with a plan. There wasn't a spider in the web,(we thought it was out hunting) so Steven broke it and placed a baby doll nearby. We thought that the spider would think it was the doll who broke the web and attack it instead!

i used to believe that each species of animals was their own gender. For instance, all dogs were male, cats were female.
I used to believe that since pokemonm(i was obsessed with them) said their names when i was 5 i thought that animals would say their names too but my dog was the only one that didnt and was very very special because of that.i stopped beliveing this when i met my coousins dogs Boompa and Emma.
When I was little, I was told constantly by my Grandpa that Alabama had purple hoop snakes. To move they had to hold onto their tail with their mouth and become a hoola hoop. From here, they would roll down hills.
I stronly believed him for years. Arguing with anyone who told me they didn't exsist. I later found out in grade 6 that they weren't real. :D
My 2 year old sister has a terrble fear that dogs will eat anything they can find. we recently got a pet puppy and she ran around the house, crying, and picking up everything she thought we might want off the floor.
She even thinks that dogs will eat your feet at night, whether there are any around or not.
