animals

I believe animals are our best friends. When we are sad or we feel lonely, they are there to support us.

My dad sold purebred hunting dogs. One customer came to buy one, and he was really impressed with my little mongrel dog. My dad said, “Mary, this man said he would give you $50 for your dog.”

I said, “Okay, but what does a dog want with money?”

I used to believe that squirrels didn't used to bite

When the first MacDonnalds opened in Athens, Greece I was soooo excited!! I kept nagging my mum to go! She just couldn't understand why...until I asked if they had all the animals the song listed and how they would all fit in a building.....The song was obviously "Old McDonnald had a farm" ...bummer

When I was 6 (but I was innocent kid) I learned that chicks are born from eggs,that day my mum was sick so she was sleeping and my dad was at work I took my 4 years sister and started to break eggs due to sound my mum woke up and she was shocked she asked me why I broke the eggs I said what teacher told me and I told her neither of the eggs had chick and then my mum started laughing

I used to belive if I catched grasshopper and haled in my hands for a long time, this insect would get used and wouldnt jump away!

I used to believe that a cuckoo actually looked like an owl. And even now when i know it doesn't, i still imagine an owl if i hear a cuckoo.

When I was around 4, I accidentally made a dot on the center of my forehead with marker. My older brother then said I was the "chosen one" and I was going to be sacrificed. I asked to who. Being on my aunt's farm, he looked around, pointed to a large brown and white goat and said," Him." For years after that I was terrified that goats were out to get me.

When I was a kid I somehow got to believe you could only be stung by a bee if you're little. I lived with that belief till 23 yrs old, walking calmly around them, when a friend told me that I was still at risk. Imagine my surprise

If I loved something it would come back to life. I was holding a junebug, and it wasn't moving. My mom told me it was dead, but it was only cold. I had warmed it up, and revived it. It flew away, and I thought it was because I had loved it.

When my sister and I were little, my dad told us the cows on the hills were "Hill Cows" and that two of their legs were shorter than the other two so if they stood on flat ground they'd fall over.

When people said "cats have nine lives", I thought it meant when a cat did something that could kill them, they could come back to life (or "regenerate" like on "Doctor Who") and they could this eight more times before they finally died.

This was further fueled because it was often used in cartoons about cats.

When I was little, (6, I'm 10 now,) I thought earwigs did crawl into your ears. Now I know that they used to be called earwings, for their ear shaped wings. It changed into earwigs, because their pinchers look like the tools for cleaning ears. Mosquitoes actually crawl into your ear, though. If they puncture the eardrum you can lose your hearing. Thats why we have earwax.

when i was 2 or 3 believed that i had lots of animals in my tummy it made sense my mum had baby in hers.

I asked my mum why birds don't get electrocuted when they perch on power lines. She told me birds wear rubber boots. I was content with this explanation and imagined birds getting out of their nests every morning and putting on their boots.

When I was a child, I used to believe that the idiom "raining cats and dogs" meant that there were really animals falling from the sky, so I didn't understand when my parents told me that having a dog was too expensive !
