animals

I used to believe that cats and dogs were members of the same species, only that dogs were the males and cats were the females.

My mum told my brother that 'twat' meant pregnant goldfish. Imagine the hilarity in school when he is asked what rhymes with cat.

I used to believe there were special kinds of pigs who had leeks inside them 'cos I used to eat those sausages with leeks in - I used to believe sausages were an actual part of the pigs anatomy.

My mother caught me eating biscuits in bed. "Look at the crumbs, you'll have mice". To a four year old this sounded like an exciting opportunity, so each night I would put crumbs under the bed in the hope, not that they would attract mice, but they would turn into mice! After about 3 months and a tell tale mound of crumbs the awful truth was finally broken to me.

I thought that the goats that live on the Great Orme in North Wales had shorter legs on one side, and that if they tried to turn round they'd fall down the slope. I also thought that they got married in opposite-handed pairs!!

I used to go to gradeschool with a girl named Samantha. She would argue with me for hours on the fact that turkeys (and all birds) had four legs like "normal" animals such as birds and dogs. Her four-legged turkey drawings at Thanksgiving always deeply troubled me, even as a six year old.

As a very young girl, I believed that our neighbors sheep wore heavy quilts in the winter. I'm nearly 40 and my family won't let me forget it!

I used to believe that, whenever you got a new puppy or kitten, you got to pick its gender, but it only worked if no one had chosen a gender for it before you.

When travelling in the countryside, the sheep in the fields always face the direction that you are travelling in.
I still believe this now, and im nearly 30.

i wus told by a mad man on the side of the street mooses would rape. i had no idea what it ment but stayed away from them at the zoo

When I was little we had a dog and I knew that feeding it chocolate was bad. I thought that even a little bit would kill her so when she found a hershey kiss and ate it I was convinced that she was going to die. Needless to say, she didn't.

I used to believe that birds had some kind of super power to withstand electricity when they stood on power lines.

I used to have a cat, but we couldn't keep it in our apartment. I come home one day to see ants in the bathroom, but no cat anywhere. My parents had told me that the ants ate the cat; bones and all. That was when I was 8; I believed it until I was 13.

I used to believe that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys.

I used to believe that flies were called "bloody flies"!

I used to think spiders came from rosebuds. Don't ask. It was a traumatic experience.
