When I was about 6 or 7, my dad owned a couple of beagles named Jack & Jill. One morning, much to our surprise, my sister & I found Jill in a dark corner of the barn with a litter of puppies! She had scratched a small hole in the cool dirt for her nest and was just crawling with teeny tiny beagle pups! My sister and I were so fascinated with the whole thing. We ran back to the house to announce our find and drag Dad back to the barn to see. Then, we asked the ultimate question - "Where did the puppies come from?" After much heeing and hawing, my dad finally came up with what he thought was a clever answer:

"See that hole she's in? She started digging and digging until she found them."

Needless to say, my sister & I were severely punished for the dozens of holes we dug around the barn that day in our determined attempt to find more puppies.

My brother used to believe that hares were male rabbits and rabbits were female hares. The funny thing is we let him think this was true and he went on believing it until he was 18.

When I was young, I was once getting ready for a shower and there was a huge beetle in the tub. I screamed for my mom to kill it. She smashed it and washed it down the drain. I wouldn't get it unless she scrubbed the entire tub. From that day on, even after countless washes, I still believed that spot where the bug had been smashed, was contaminated. I would not step on that spot because I though I would get contaminated.

I used to think fireflies were actually stars falling down from the sky. Used to amazed at the sight of trees brightly lit by the wonderful "stars" not knowing they were actually some kind of insects communicating with each other.

I used to believe my dog could drive. When I was 4 or 5, I remember my mother saying she had to get my dogs license renewed. And since I only knew about drivers licenses at that time, I was really impressed that my dog was so talented!

When I was little I believe that Lambs had White flea's because my Dad always told me, "Mary had a little lamb, her flea's were white as snow." Nobody corrected me until I was in my Teens.

After watching Dr Who I thought that cow-pats were rejected Dalek brains.

I always believed that only black and white cows gave milk..That's what my grandpop always told me..I was probably 30 before I found out different..dumb huh !! LOL

I used to believe I could teach the cat to read because I'd caught him watching TV. So I spent several hours trying to teach him the alphabet. He never got the hang of it, though.

When i was a kid i thought cows made milk because they chewed thier cud.. Mom had to explain about babies then...

when I was a kid one day at dinner I made a joke about how funny it was that chicken , (what we were eating) and chicken (the bird) were the same word. I was horified to find out they were one and the same

I used to believe that when you put a frog under a drum or a bin, it whould change into a stone.

when I was younger, about 4, I belived that if you pulled a cats tail it would, as I told my mum, 'piss in your eyes and blind you'

I grew up at the foot of the southdowns, I believed for years that the sheep had 2 legs shorter than the others, an evolutionary step for hill sheep!!!

I used to believe that butterflies were flies that ate butter instead of crap.

When I was little I thought that cats could see through walls (God only knows where I got that idea from. I found out I was wrong in school one day when I insisted to our teacher that cats had super powers....
