my mam used to buy them big chickens in bags, i always thought the bags of sand builders put over road work signs were chickens in bags from asda...

The continuous buzzing noise heard outside, most often in raw nature, and sometimes in urban areas. Actually an insect, but thought to be 'the power lines.'

I realized this was infact not true last year when asking the boyfriend. "Honey... where is that sound coming from? There arent any power lines around...."

My mother recently told me that I believed our dog was highly intelligent and mimicked human behavior. I thought this because oftentimes when I was sitting on the floor playing, he would come up behind me, rear up on his hind paws, and drape his front legs over my shoulders. I thought he was hugging me as an expression of his affection and had learned this from watching us. I don't think an explanation is needed as to what he was actually doing... Lord only knows how my mother didn't laugh in my face when I proudly informed her the dog had hugged me again!

I thought that if you saw a stag or an elk head mounted on a wall, the rest of the animal was on the other side in the next room.

When I was little we had a dog and a cat. I thought dogs were boys and cats were girls so I thought that dogs and cats got married. I didn't think that 2 dogs could marry without being gay and 2 cats would be lesbians. I was later told that both of our pets were female and I was disappointed as that would mean they couldn't have baby kittens/dogs.

My father used to bathe our dog in the bathtub. When it was time for me to take a bath, he would tell me not to stay in the tub too long because I might get pregnant with puppies. Yep, as a child I believed him.

When I was a kid I used to think that woodpeckers were actually eating the wood when they were pecking it.

When I was small, I didn't know that ducks paddled their feet to swim. I thought they ran into the water and the momentun carried them across the the lake or pond. I always wandered what would happen if they ran out of momentum and got stuck in the middle of the water.

When I was little, I saw a possum in the middle of the road (dead, of course). I asked my mom what it was and she said, "Roadkill, sweetie. That's what happens when you run out in the road."
The next week, we were at the zoo and a woman came out of a room holding a live possum. I screamed at the very top of my lungs, "Look, Mom! Roadkill!!!"

I used to think if a cat were to eat dog food, it would make it bark. If a dog ate cat food, it would make it meow. I used to sneak a taste of dog food once in a while (it was good). My parents told me if I ate that stuff, I would turn into a dog. If I ate cat food... well, you know.

I used to believe…

since where i lived, there were a lot of little sparrows and pigeons, i used to think that the sparrows were pigeon babies.

When my neighbor was about five, she ran up to a bunch of older boys stomping on those prickly "monkey balls" that come from trees, and started screaming, "Don't hurt the monkeys!" Apparently, she thought monkeys came from eggs.
