animals

As Hebrew speakers, me and my younger sister watched tv, in the age I knew English and she didn't. So in some place at the show, she asked me in what language the show is. when I told her it's in english, she said "yeah? so why the dog's barking in Hebrew?" :)

I used to believe that earwigs (those little pincher bugs) would crawl into your ear while you were sleeping and eat your brain! Needless to say, i slept every night with the covers over my ears.

When I was little i asked my dad why the dinasours were extinct. He told me that a large meator had fallen from the sky and caused dirt to fly up and block out the sun so they dies. WEll, i missunderstood meator and thoght he said "meat eater" so for the longest time i thought a giant t-rex fell off the moon and killed the dinasours.

When I was five years old I found a ladybug in the bathroom. My older sister rushed in and shouted at me not to touch it because it was 'poisonous to anyone under the age of eight!'. She was ten, so she picked it up for a closer inspection. Years later I realised she'd only told me that because SHE wanted to hold the pretty insect..

i used to think all cats were girls, and all dogs were boys

I used to beleive that if we didn't spray the ants, there would be hundreds of them in my house taking over.

I used to feed my cat a big dollop of chutney every morning...I thought he loved it because his bowl was clean when I got home from school..........that was, until my dad told me he'd been cleaning weird stuff outta the cats dish every day.....

When I was about 4 I was brushing my hair in the mirror and my sister jokingly said there was a bug in it. But sure enough when I looked up I saw a nat flying around the top of my head. I started bawling and ran to my mother who told me that the nat was flying around my head because it liked pretty girls. I believed her and stopped crying. How dumb of me!

When i was very young i thought that all cats were female and all dogs were boys . I didnt quite grasp the consept of reproducing.

My grandfather told me that buffalo wings came from real bufalo. As people began growing out west it was dangerous for the buffalo to fly. You know cause' they would kill us.(Big damn things flying around!)So people clipped their wings as soon as they were born. And since I'm from the south,(waste not want not) we now have buffalo wings.Mild,Hot or, Burning your britches!!!

i thought dog and cats were the same so i thought...

For a long time, I thought that dogs were spayed and cats were neutered. The cat I had when I was little was always getting into fights and spraying in the house, which naturally annoyed my parents. So, they had him neutered, which they explained would cut down on this behavior, and make the spray less stinky. So, I thought neutered meant neutralized. Like, there was something was added to the cat that neutralized the smell of the spray, and made him neutral in fights. After all, my parents had explained that saying "Switzerland is neutral" meant they didn't get in fights with other countries. I'd heard the term "spayed" and knew that it was similar - since I knew that cats got neutered, I assumed that meant that dogs got spayed. After all, the phrase is "spay or neuter your pets" and there's two kinds of pets, dogs and cats. Having different words for different animals made more sense to me than different words for the genders of both.

Now that I think about it, "neuter" does have a lot in common with "neutral", duh, same root. The animal becomes of neutral gender. And it does result in an animal that is less aggressive.

I was almost 9 when Star Trek's Wrath of Khan came out. Needless to say, that led to many nightmares and an intense fear of bugs getting into my ears, as they would make me go crazy. 20 years later, that's all I remember of the movie and the thought still gives me the creeps.

I used to believe that my pets could understand me. They still do...

When i was small i remember my mum saying "A little birdie told me..." and then some random information that she knew because she was my mum. I remember I had a secret to tell my friend, some insignificant secret. and when i got to the juicy part i stopped. i remember turning as white as a sheet. "whats wrong??" my worried friend asked. i pointed at a small bird on my window sill, near the open window, "its going to tell my mummy!"

When I was little we had squirrel problems. We would catch them in a trap and drive them a few miles from the house. My mom would say be quiet to the squirrels and she would cover them up so they would naturally be still. Obviously that shuts them up. The I would get her to ask the squirrel a question. She would ask the question, then uncover the cage and it would start chattering. I thought it wsas the squirrel answering my moms question.
