animals

I still believe that cats no the meaning of life and where we go when we die. Why else would the be so unafraid when their loved ones die?

My wife and her sister used to believe that unicorns were real but that seahorses, for some reason, were not. To this day, they still have to think carefully when faced with unicorn/seahorse matters to remember which one does and does not exist.

I used to believe that pigs will take over the world one day!(Piggy Invasion)(Actually I still Do!)

My Grandma had a cat and me and my cousin when we both were about 4 would eat her cat food out of her cat bowl acting like cats.Our older cousin told us that we would become cats if we ate cat food. So we stoped and waited to turn into cats.

When i was little i thought that "its raining cats and dogs" meant that it really was. The radio one time said that it was going to be raining really tommorrow evening. I felt bad for the cats and dogs, and that day i went to the store and bought toys, food and water and baskets for the animals. i stole the money from my mom and she wasn't very happy.

My first grade teacher, a nun, told me that cats and dogs didn't have brains. I checked this fact with my mom a few years later.

I used to believe that cats and dogs were the same species but that dogs were boys and cats were girls.

One time, when I was about six years old, my grandma took me to a carnival. It was a hot day, so a lot of people had brought their dogs. I was playing with my balloon animal when my grandma said "Look, it's a German Shepherd." I turned but saw only a big brown dog. I was disappointed that I had missed a German guy with a cane and a couple of sheep.

When I was little we lived out in the country. Our house was next to a meadow. One day when I was outside by myself, playing, I saw something in the meadow that scared me. I ran, screaming and crying, to the door... too upset to even get it open. My mom ran to the door, thinking I must be badly hurt by the sound of things. I gasped out "Mom, there's a huge snake, with horns!". She could make little sense of this, but got me inside and calmed me down. When I was calm enough, she had me draw what I had seen. I drew a picture of a deer, lying down in the long grass. In my mind, the only thing with no legs was a snake, and I couldn't see the legs of the deer, only its back and head. Thus, the big snake with horns.

when my mom was a kid she thought that if you caught a hummingbird, it would drill a whole through your hand.

For years I thought that mouse traps caught mice by their tails and then when you found it in the trap you would set the mouse free outside.

Thank you Tom and Jerry and various other cartoons.


Also mouse related-mom had a plumber and his teenage assitant come to help her with something-they found a mouse trap downstairs-the younger guy set it off and got freaked out-mom told me that the plumber told him not to worry-as mice have no teeth. He also said that mice are boneless and that is why the can wiggle around so fast.

Oh yeah-Mom must have cracked up because she works with mice.

My grandma used to have a birdhouse in her front yard, and squirrels would always get to the birdfeed before the birds ever got any and so she'd never have birds flying around like I guess she wanted. She used to stand at the window and get really angry at the squirrels, yelling "Get away from there you little bastards!" and so I grew up assuming that the animals that were after the birdfeed were "bastards". One morning, I noticed them before she did and I could be heard o'er the land screaming "Grandma! Look! I see a bastard already!"
My mom wasn't impressed at the time but we all find it quite amusing now.

When i was little, my aunt told me and my sister that lightning bugs turned into french fries. so one night she caught one and then brought it inside with out us seeing and then put a french frie in a frying pan.....we believed it was true for the longest time!

i would bring ants in the bathroom and create a maze for them with soap. if they hit the soap, they died. if they escaped, they would advance to a harder maze.

I was terrified of squirrels. A neighbor boy told me that squirrels lurked in trees waiting for someone to walk underneath, whereupon they would drop down onto the person's head and chew through the skull into the victim's brain. I literally would not walk under a tree for years.

I used to believe that if you planted feathers, chickens would grow.. and that chips lived under the sea with the fishes...
