animals

I have 4 younger brothers. When they would pick on me I would run to my Granny and tell on them. She would say to me, "Tattle Tale Tit! Your tongue shall be split, and every dog in town will get a little bit!" That scared the hell out of me! I didn't want dogs to eat my tongue, so I learned how to beat up my brothers.

I used to believe that dogs were girls and cats were boys. Because cats (I was 4, ok?) were obviously cooler than dogs. And all the cats we had were boys and all the girls were dogs.

I used to believe…

siamese twins are joined together. remember the film the aristocats and the the two cats that sung "we are siamese if you please". i always used to wonder why they werent stuck together cos they were siamese twins!

One night I was sleeping on my side with my ear uncovered, and out of nowhere I had this horrible vision of a spider on the ceiling falling off right into my ear. To this day, I am unable to sleep with my ears uncovered. (I have to cover them with the blankets or my hair)

i used to believe that when my feet fell asleep that i had gotten red ants in my shoes. so whenever my foot fell asleep i would run to my parents and tell them to take me to the doctor quick because i had ants crawling inside my feet!!!

I used to belive that if you picked a kitten up by the scruff than you would be its mom forever and it would never leave, AND it would go to school as well(if a human was its mom of course)
I now know better

When I was younger playing in the yard, I saw a butterfly, but I didn't know what it was. I told my mom that there were flutterbys outside, because they fluttered bye... I still call them that.

My dad told me that if you kill the queen ant (the big ant with wings), all the ants in her colony would attack you. Thus, adding to my sleeping disorder. I can't believe that i believed him.

my sister once tolled me that mosqueto bites were due to the fact that mosquetos made a hole in our body and had intered in it...so when i asked her if i hit the bit would it die...she said...for sure....so i kept hitting my self like a crazy child....later i knew she was bluffing

I used to think that if you broke a spider's web, that spider would come after you & seek retribution! I still feel a twinge of fear every time I walk into one - and I'm a 27-yr old, 6 ft 1 guy!

when i was a little girl i took a broken fly to the vets and said it had a broken wing. the vet took it and placed it in his hands and said abrakadrabra and chucked it in the air. he said it was mended and that it had flown away. i belived this for a long time.

When I was four and I was at primary school, we used to play out on the fields where some rabbits lived. Because I ws only 4. I didn't know a lot about the world (!!), and one dinnertime I found all these little 'stones' on the grass. So I picked up as many as I could find, and went and showed the dinner lady my 'special stones'. Only to discover, to my emvbarrasment, that these 'stones' were in fact rabbit droppings!

I used to think that on Christmas eve night, animals could really talk. Of course, i know now my mom only told me this to keep me in in bed, as she said " if you get up and see your pet on Christmas eve, they'll never be able to talk again, and this will make them really sad, because they can't talk to other pets ever again."

my brother once told me that baby cows were called humperdinks. i believed this until i was 12! when i wrote in an essay about them at school. my teacher read it out and my class was in hysterics! i didnt know what i had done wrong until a friend filled me in!

When i was younger we had a cat called Ginger and it died and we buried it. The next day, i saw a cat just like Ginger and i thought it was him and i believed it for a while but it turned out to be another cat......

i used to think that if i was walking through long grass i might somehow find a dead cow. i don't know why it was a cow, or why i was terrified. i only remember that if the thought came into my mind, i would shudder and wouldn't walk through long grass for a long time afterwards.

Last March, we took in a stray black lab. She was very heavy and we had the suspicion she might be pregnant. My best friend was visiting one day and asked my father if how many nipples the dog had was how many puppies it was going to have. She, herself has two extra, and was afraid that she was going to have a "litter" of four. She was 18 at this time. She is now 19 and pregnant. Fortunately she knows she is only expecting one child.
