animals

I used to think Alsatian dogs were called 'Old Stations'.

when i was a child i thought that the dogs and cats can talk with people.And also, that the cats were female and the dogs male.
Now i have two cats and four dogs.

My little bro used to think when the family dog was in heat that she needed a tampon like the "big girls".

I thought I was alone in thinking that all cats were female and all dogs were male, but I see now what a common belief it is for kids. I now have seven cats, male and female, but I refer to all of them as "she".

I once got rabbits as a present for easter. they were in a cardboard box. We didn't have a proper cage for them so my parents put then in the playpen until we could get a cage. The rabbits chewed through the play and hopped all over the house pooping and whatnot. I guess this was a huge pain to my parents who decided to skip the cage and bring back the rabbits back to the store. However, they told me that the rabbits were going to live in the wood s behind our house so that if they were needed at Easter they would be easier to find. I beleived this FOR YEARS!

I used to believe that after cats had been spayed, they weren't sewn up, they were stapled instead, and if you made them sneeze they would pop. I wasn't a psycho kid either, surprisingly.

I got word definitions mixed up a lot as a child. I remember mixing up "ancestors" and "maggots". I'd lift rocks in the yards and point at all the little white buggies and tell the neighbor kids they were my ancestors.

I used to belive that cats and dogs were brothers and sisters. Based on my halfsisters sentens: "When i was younger me and my brother were like cat and dog".

When I was a child, I always believed the cats were girls, and dogs were boys.

I used to think that if you pulled the antenna off of ants they could not talk to one another.

When I was a kid, I was very much fond of cats. I really wondered how cats rise their kittens. I thought the kittens came straight out of their belly by making a hole in it. The hole then vanishes with course of time.

When I was in the 8th grade we moved into a house that had camel crickets in the basement and my new friend next door told me that they were poisonous. To this day, though I know they aren't something in the back of my mind tells be to "be careful of the dreaded camel criket.

When I was a young girl I was told by my older friend that I should be very careful when I saw a dragonfly in the area because they will take a blade of grass and sew our mouths closed.

For a very long time I was scared to death of, and would run away from Dragonflies, I was told if I spoke they would come sew your mouth shut! Now I love them all kinds big and small. I will let them land on me and just watch them intently. (Love them)

I used to believe, and I think much of the basis of this belief was fed through the media, that the world would end when we were all attacked by killer bees from Mexico and South America. I used to look out the window and worry day and night that we were going to be attacked. It got so bad that I had to throw away a toy stuffed bee I had been given by a relative.

I used to believe in 'land sharks.' They were sharks that would sort of swim through dirt. I thought that if I were outside standing on the ground alone they would get me. So, I hardly played outside in fear of those things. And I had nightmares about them a lot.
