A very long time ago at the zoo we'd go to, they had some Przewalski's horses. I couldn't remember their name, I only knew the "alski" part. I figured that since they were the only horses at the zoo, and that the zoo was the only place I saw them, I could stick "zoo" on their name and be correct. I called them "Zooalski horses" and wondered why my parents were laughing at me. xD

When I was young I was told that if gnats landed on you they laid thousands of eggs in your skin. Even if they just landed for a second, and that a month later they would all come flying out of your skin. I was terrified of the things

When I was about 5, I honestly believed pheasants were robots made out of metal bins with wobbly arms and would sit in fields making strange bird noises.
1-i used to believe that humans were controlled by ants and they had a laboratory in your head and could see through your eyes and the more in shape your body was the more technology the ants had
2-i believed that if you droped your food once you could pick it up again and eat it but if you drop it again it was too nasty to eat it, i think its because when i was small when i asked my parents a question they were too busy and would answer yes or no so i would stop asking and ill actually believe them

I believed that all cats were female and all dogs were male.
When I was about eight, maybe seven, I had a nightmare that my mom got eaten by a shark.
I took to warning her about every little inch of water she approached, even if it was shower water. Luckily that only lasted about a day or two.
When I was eight I became convinced butterflies stalked you because whenever I was outside one always seemed to be coming near me, and in the butterfly zone at the Bronx zoo on a class trip I was screaming (was afraid of ALL insects back then) because they all seemed to be following me and wouldn't go away.
When I was eleven it was DRAGONFLIES that I thought would stalk you.
Now I'm slooowwly getting over my fear of both those bugs (completely done with the fear of butterflies) and I still think they stalk you but I dun really care anymore.
Oh, and BEES stalk you too
When I was about eight I used to think that if you touched bug juice (insect blood), you would turn into a bug. I didn't know what it looked like back then, so I was kinda paranoid about it and avoiding everything that even looked vaguely like it even if it was just spilled drink turned dark from fading into fabric on the furniture or something.
i used to believe that in your nails whenever you scratched your head your nits got really deep into your nails they went to nitty heaven!!!!!! im gonna be 8 this year!!!!!

When I was little I believed that dogs and cats were the same species, but that dogs were the daddies and cats were the mummies.
I used to believe when I was little that Dinosaurs lived in the irrigation systems. Like when you go over a freeway ramp usually you can see those huge tunnels. I guess it's for rain water and flooding? I was always scared a dinosaur might come out, they never did, I just figured they were probably hibernating.
when i was about 5 yrs old, i was at my uncle's cottage and when night fell, i saw fireflys for the first time. I ran to my uncle and asked what are those things glowing in the forest? He told me that if i knew that ghosts are invisible, then they form themselves into flys and that they glow at night cause they are not flys, they are ghosts. This sacred the living heck out of me and i asked my uncle what are we going to do to get rid of them? He told me when i go to bed tonight, i was to take my toy gun with me and if any of these "ghosts" gets inside my room, i was instructed to shoot them and if i missed any of the them, my uncle will shoot them with his hunting rifle. My mother was so mad at my uncle cause i couldn't sleep for days after that. Even today, i can't look at fireflys the same way as everyone else and i'm in my mid forties
