My mother once took me and my little cousin Amy(who was only three) to my uncle's farm. Amy could make all the animal noises, so my mother pointed to the white cows and asked what noise they made. Amy said "Baaa Baaaa" My mother said "No, that's not right, try again." She pointed to some black cows. Amy said"Mooo Mooo". So my mother pointed to the white cows again and Amy said "Baaa Baa". I just stood there, trying not to laugh. As far as Amy was concerned, cows could never be white. The only farm animal that could be white was a sheep.

When I was a kid, I lived kinda close to this really old factory. My mom told me it used to be a candy factory a long time ago. We would go by the factory everytime we'd walk to the park. There were always a bunch of wild rabbits hopping around in the yard next to the factory, and around it. For some reason, I imagined that the factory still made candy - those big chocolate Easter bunnies...and REAL bunnies! The ones outside running around. Yes, I truly believed a factory could make real rabbits. I was about 3 or 4.

When I was about 6 or 7, I was on a family vacation and our hotel room had those ceilings that look all bumpy and such. I aksed my sister what the bumps were, and she told me that inside of them there were tons and tons of gross bugs! And then told me that sometimes
the bumps break open and the bugs fall on people while they sleep!

When I was about 4 my parents took me to the circus and whilst the elephants were performing everyone started to laugh. I asked my parents what they were laughing at and they said an elephant had “had a poo”, by the time I had looked over to the offending elephant, they had thrown straw over the pile, so for years I was convinced elephants poo’d straw!
When I was like five in my back yard, there was leaves falling because it was fall. I was lieing on the grass with my eyes closed all relaxed, and a "spider" that was bigger than my face fell on my nose, I got up and screamed and ran away. Turns out it was a leaf, but until I figured that out, I never once was found laying down outside in the grass.
I heard a story about a little boy and his Dad out for an evening walk. They happened across a pair of dogs..`doing it'. The little boy asked the Dad what the dogs were doing and the Dad said they were making puppies! Later that night, the little boy woke up thirsty and went into his parents bedroom as they were `doing it'! The little boy asked, "Daddy what are you and Mama doing?" The Dad said "we are making you a baby brother". The little boy said, " Well, turn her over... I want a puppy!"

My grandmother used to tell me that dragonflies would sew my mouth shut and thats why they looked like sewing needles with wings. So I would cover my mouth when I saw one.

i used to believe that the reproduction of chicken was the same as fish. i just pictured that cocks fertilised after hens laid eggs. however, my boss said it wasn't true.
When I was younger I had a religion class that was about evil spirits being possesed in people's body, or maybe it was just something out of the bible. That night my cats were acting weird (as cats do quite frequently) so I asked my teacher if animals could be possesed too, he told me that it was "possible" so at that point I believed that my 2 cats were really demons and I was afriad to ever be alone in a room with them.

My mother told me that when a cats tail starts to wag, that the cat is angry and will pounce with all its cat's furry. I have since learned that all my mother wanted was a dog.
