animals

I used to believe (sometimes still love to believe) that when Humans aren't around, animals speak real words, but decide not to speak in front of us to not freak us out. I would try to make a bond with my Dog that if she would say, "I love you" out loud, it would be our Little Secret.

When I was a child I used to believe that A BLACK WITCH MOTH would make you go blind if you saw them. In fact I remember that once in elementary school, one flew into my classroom and most of my classmates left the classroom.

When I was 7 years old, I used to believe that chicks were born from their mother's womb.
When I was 8 years old, I used to believe that mice were toys because I used to dress them in baby clothes.

I used to believe that animals in the past were company for man because today animals are like one more friend but when he grew up and took history classes he learned that they were the food of man.

When I was 7 years old, I used to believe that chicks were born from their mother's womb.

I used to believe that my cat Rosita had 7 lives, when I was about 6 years old I told this to my friends in the garden and they really laughed a lot, it was very sad but now I know that this is not true, I really miss my cat.

As a child I thought that cats and dogs couldn't get along like Tom and Jerry saw they didn't get along

When I was a child I thought that dogs can see ghosts but now I think that they can sense disaster

When I was a child, I believed that cats and dogs could see ghosts at night. I thought that if a human put a scourge of animals in his eye we could also see ghosts.

I used to believe that cats came bad energy.

I used to believe that a ferret was the hybrid of a cat and a hamster. I thought the reason they were so rare is because it's hard to breed a cat and hamster without them attacking each other.

I used to believe nugget-laying chickens existed. Unlike chicken breast and chicken leg a nugget doesn’t actually look like a body part so I never realized what it really was

I used to believe that the cows owned by my grandfather slept lying on the ground like a human at night.

I thought "carrot and the stick" meant laying a carrot out on the ground in front of the horse (which it'd walk towards) and laying a stick on the ground behind the horse (which it'd walk away from because it would hurt stepping on the stick.)

And I wondered, why would stepping on a stick hurt a horse?

I used to think that when a baby bird was old enough to fly out of the nest and live away from the mother bird, it would sometimes go back to back to visit her in the same tree, like when we humans stay in touch with our relatives!

I used to think that when female animals got pregnant, they sometimes didn't need a male partner (I was thinking of cats when I said out loud) and could somehow just make babies on their own. Well domestic cats are usually spayed or neutered anyway, but even so!
