animals

When i was little i thought that there was a small, slimy snail inside my ear that let me hear, and that if i touched it with my finger it would crawl into my brain to get away and i would be deaf for the rest of my life

When i was younger i had a cat and a dog, and i thought that if i locked them in a room toghether for 5 years, when i came back they would have mutated into a weird cat-dog monster. I once kept them in the attic for a whole week, beforre my parents found them and grounded me !

When I was little I found a tiny robin's egg in our yard. I thought all eggs came from bird's but since this one didn't look like them and was so pretty and blue, I thought it came from the tiny blue flowers it was laying near !

when i was little, i didn't understand about bulls, and mares; i thought that all cows were female and all horses were male, and that they somehow mated (which i also didn't "understand")

I always wondered why , if there were electric eels, why didn't everything in the ocean get shocked.

I always thought when I went to the ocean and didn't get shocked, I was just lucky.

when i was growing up i used to think that cats and dogs mated and that cats were the girls and dogs were the boys.

i don't think that i was that far off though!

When I was younger, my brother and sister convinced me chenille wool came from clams. I don't know how this came up, but I believed this until I was about 13. I would tell my teachers and friends, who all seemed to be very impressed with my knowledge of this fact. One day, while talking about animal rights, my brother and sister finally broke the truth to me...

I used to believe that if you planted magpie (an Australian bird) feathers, you could grow one. My elder brothers convinced me this was true by placing a magpie chick in the garden one morning

when i was little i saw on the tv a turtle laying tiny eggs and to me these eggs looked like grapes, so i always thought grapes came from turtles. i was only corrected when one day i (feeling quite clever) told my mum that grapes came from turtles, "i saw it on the tv!"

oops.

When I was 4 or 5, my cousins had me absolutely convinced that if you touched a fish's eye with your finger, the eyeball would explode.

In the early part of elementary school, one of my friends taught me how to make a "bird's nest" out of a circle of small rocks with grass in the middle. Afterward, I believed that was how birds really made their nests and was convinced that if I could manage to make a perfect nest, a bird would think it had been made by another bird and lay its eggs there.

I made dozens and dozens of rock-and-grass nests on the front steps of my house, laying them out carefully and even putting a few rocks in the middle to be the "eggs," hoping to show the birds it was a good place to raise a family. I waited and watched for a long time, but I never lured any birds to my yard with those nests. Now, of course, I just use a feeder.

I used to believe that a crow is a female of a raven

I used to believe that a sparrow is a baby of a pigeon, but I never didn't understand why the sparrows do not turn into pigeon! Now I know, they do not eat enough, so their bodies are weak :)

When I was little I asked my dad were spam came from and he playfully told me it came from birds and they would run around yelling spam. So up until I turned eight. I believed in Spam Birds.

I used to believe that Cats and Dogs were the same race. Cats were females to me and the dogs were their males.

When I was little, I got these hand-me-down spider man pajamas. I was (and still am) terrified of spiders, but for some reason I was really excited about them and put them on to go to bed right away. That night was really really hot, and it was almost unbearabale to be under the covers. But I was convinced that if I didn't all the spiders in the house would be lured to the gigantic spider on my pajamas when they saw it, and when I woke up in the morning, I would be covered in spiders and they would eat me.After practically dieing of the heat, then worrying abut the spiders, and switching back and forth between the two a couple of times, I went downstairs a begged my mom to give me different pajamas so i could go to sleep!
