When I was younger my dad told me polyester cam from furry little creatures that looked like deer. When I asked if they shaved them like they did sheep, he said no, they have to kill the little polyesters. I believed him until I was 14.

Up until age 14, I thought stitches were little black bugs they put in your wound to heal it. This is because when I was five I had stitches placed in the center of my forehead at the hairline. All I could see was a little black through my tears.

When I was little, I used to make a nest out of towels and sit on plastic eggs with my brother, thinking that sooner or later they would hatch. They always did with the help of our Mother, and had money inside of them. I thought that the eggs we cooked for breakfast were defective, because they contained no money.

when my mothers boyfriend was shaving and he washed off the razor in the sink i used to believe that the little hairs were ants

When I was a kid I had a bunch of pet Gerbils. My brother somehow convinced me that gerbils were horses that were bred down to size.

While driving threw the mountains, my dad would barely swerve over to hit the rumble strips and he'd tell me they were mountain cows. Somehow, I could never see them. After awhile my older brother caught on and helped out my dad by telling me that mountain cows eat barbie hair. I had a death grip while holding my barbies head out the window, and when I'd turn away from the window my dad would hit the rumble strips and I'd yank my barbie into the car as fast as I can. I believed in mountain cows until I was about 8...

When i was 3 me and my friend would always feed her dogs what ever we were eating. Her mother told us that if we kept feeding them human food they would stand up on two legs and walk around like humans! I believed this untill i was 12 years old.

I used to believe I could be a leopard when I grew up if I wanted to.

I used to believe that flies regularly dropped their legs off while flying and if one landed in your eye you would go blind

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

I use to believe all dogs were male and all cats were female.

When I was little we used to drive to Minnesota every year. We would go by a lot of cow fields and at night I thought I kept seeing the same one in every field. I thought he was following us and I named him 'The Night Cow'.

I was so scared about the movie "Jaws" that I was sure that sharks could be anywhere with water! I was constantly afraid that the person who lived underneath my apartment could have a shark is his bathtub as a pet, so i used to take a shower very quickly! The same thought was applied to the swimming pool! And in any moment the floor would open and a shark would come out! I never stayed alone at the pool, and in one afternoon, when my mom called me to go inside i answered, "I can't go now, they (my two sister and my father) are still in the pool and I need to take care of them. It's late and the shark will come at any moment!". After all, who could better save them from this beast than a 7 years old girl? No one!! I knew all about sharks and their evil plans and dirty secrets!

I used to be that sheep had no knees, and if they feel over they would die because they wouldn't be able to get back up again. I thought it was a sheep farmers job to go check on the sheep and save the sheep that had feel over..

I used to believe that all cats were female and all dogs were male.

When I was little, I slept on my side, and when I blinked, my eyelashes would brush the pillow, and I thought that I was hearing worms taking bites out of the inside of my head. I was terrified of it for the longest time......
