animals

i actually thought all cats were girls and all dogs were boys!

I asked my dad what was in a manhole once when I was 5. My dad has a Northern accent, so when he said SEWER LINES, I thought he said SORE LIONS. I was scared to walk over one because I thought I could see lions licking themselves through the cracks and I thought they would pull me in and get me.

i belevied that there was something watching me when i was in bed. When i grew up i relized that it was my dog standing in the doorway:)

Until I was about 11, I believed that my dog understood all my feelings and actions (he behaved like it too). I was sure that he was just too clever to let us know how much he really understood. Because of that, apart from many other things, he was my best friend and I shared everything with him (including juicy apricots which he didn't care for and me eating his noodles - yes from his bowl- which he didn't care for either having wolfed down the meat).

One morning when I was about 6 years old I found a spider in my bed. It had been there all night. From that day until I was about 8 years old, I would have to put pillows around the outside of my bed because I thought that thousands and thousands of spiders would crawl onto my bed and bite me during the night. I got over it though.

I used to think white cows were full of milk, black cows were empty, and black and white ones were half full.

I used to believe that the dancing rats from the nutcracker lived under my dresser.

I used to think if I left the toilet seat open my cat would get flushed down the toilet.

One day when I got home from school my mom questioned me about something that had happened at school. I asked her how she knew about that. (I guess the teacher had called and told her.) She said a little birdie had told her. After that I cursed those birds that sat on the window sills at school and always folded my hands nicely and looked straight ahead whenever I saw one looking at me!

When I first saw the movie 'Cats and Dogs'... Well, you can probably tell what my belief was. If you've never seen the movie, then I believed that cats and dogs had secret technology hidden right under our noses.

I did crazy stuff on behaf of my belief too. I checked my cat's litterbox for some sort of futuristic devices. No devices, but lots of poop.

I had it in my head that tiny spiders would leave you money. My older sisters used to call them 'money spiders' and pick up twenty pence pieces when they saw one. Shame they always used to find them first!

I used to believe…

hmm i use to believe that turtles come out of their shell... i remember so well i once had a lil pet turtle and it never came outta its shell den i realized its just possible in cartoons tat turtls come out of their shells n run..

when I was small I believed that all dogs were male and all cats were female, and they would mate and have a litter of kittens and puppies. It blew my mind to find out that wasn't true...(and sometimes it still does...)

I used to think a tiger was a female and a lion was a male... until I remembered Tony the Tiger.

My dad sold pure-bred dogs. When a buyer came to get a hunting dog, he saw my mixed-breed pet, and really liked her. He wanted to buy her, too. My dad told me, "Mary, this guy says he'll give you fifty dollars for your dog.'

I said, "Well, okay, but I don't know what a dog would do with money."
