When i was about 4, my parents had a huger record-player with a tape deck built in. one day they caught me pressing "pause" when the cat walked over it. i thought it said "paws" and would protect it from the cat's feet.

i used to think that because chicken hatched eggs by sitting on them, so could i......so i would sit lightly over an egg all day to try and hatch it, i did that on easter too to hatch easter bunnies

My older sister told me that hamsters could fly. I remember looking at my hamster when i was about 6 and seeing his small legs and wondering how he could fly with legs that small-and eventually convinced myself that they would become flat and thin when he began to fly. I found out that they couldn't fly when my hamster (who was old and blind by that point) walked off the edge of the table.

My cousin was wearing sunglasses one day and i said she looked funny so she told me that if i didn't wear sunglasses, birds would peck my eyes out.

i still wear sunglasses almost everytime i go outside.

When I was about 4 or 5 my cousin who is three years older told me if i said the word "snakes", snakes would attack me.

i didn't say the word "snake" till i was nearly nine.

When I Was Little I would hear people talking about 'Tiger Woods'. Of course, I never realised he was a golf player, and would always beg my mum & Dad to take me to 'Tiger Woods' Funny thing was, I was terrified of tigers, ever since i'd met a man in a big furry tiger costume at the shopping center.

I used to believe that animals outside had nowhere to go to the bathroom. I saw a squirrel one day and emptied out a box and followed him with it. Once the squirrel figured out that the box did not contain any food, it bit me.

I had a cat when I was real young. After only a week it got worms. My cat and my sister's cat both relieved themselves on our concrete pad. Therefore for the longest time I believed that if a cat had worms, it pooped on concrete.

I used to believe that my mom choked my puppy!!! I used to have a dog that liked to jump around a lot and one day I went to the zoo with my nana-my mom tied up my dog and she cleaned out her car. I came back and my dad was burying my puppy!! I said" Mommy,you choked Twinkle!!(that was my dog)-but what really happened was Twinkle jumped around so much,that her collar choked her!!!

After reading "The Frog Prince," I tried to treat all frogs with respect, should one of them become a prince again and punish me for mistreating him as a frog.

I was really little and we had a male dog laying on his back and my mom, my sister and I were petting his belly. This dog had uhh very prominent testicles and I pointed to them and asked what it was. My mom laughed hysterically and told me it was his butt. I believed her, but still wondered why his butt hung down like that.

when i was little, i was in the hurdles event in elementary school. one day i was outside with my mom and i jumped over the dog. my mom told me that the dog would shrink if i did, so from that day on i would jump backwards over the dog to keep it from shrinking.

— jack jump over the shrinking dog! :)animals : cats and dogs

when I was a little girl, I used to believe the little mouse made her house with our teeth!
( In France, when the little child loses one tooth, he believes that the little mouse takes it! )
