animals

I was really young and for some strange reason afraid of owls. In the morning I would hear doves cooing which I mistook for whooing.My mom asked why I wouldn't go out to play, I answered because I thought the mean old owls would get me.

I used to believe cats rubbed against you to be affectionate. I then learned that they are actually marking you as their own. I am glad my cats don't pee on me.

I used to believe lions were male and tigers were female.

i thought all animals other than lizards and fish were mammals. this was until like two years ago (i'm 18) and we did animal classification in a.p. biology.

When I was 3 years old I was playing Mad Libs with my aunt who was around 12, my brother who was 9, and my sister who was 5. While I was laughing hysterically at the funny story we created I didn't notice that I sat on a moth. It was one of those white moths with the black dots that are all over the place, and it had landed on a chair a few seconds before I plopped down. My aunt noticed it, and told me. I felt bad about killing it, but even worse when my aunt proceeded to tell me about the moth.

She said his name was Booga Booga and if someone killed him that person would be cursed forever. I of course believed this and was terrified.
That day as I was running around the corner on my street I tripped and fell, cutting my knee. A few days later it happened again in the same exact spot. Later, when I was old enough to ride a bike, skate, and ride a scooter I would always end up falling at that corner. I was sure it was Booga Booga's curse.

A few years later I moved to an apartment that had a balcony. We lived on the lower level so the balcony was only a few feet off the ground. My sister and I were on it one day and one of those white moths landed on the railing. I was still scared to death of them, so I warned my sister not to hurt Booga Booga. My sister was older, so she no longer believed in Booga Booga. To prove it wasn't true she killed the moth. A few minutes later she fell off the balcony!! That was all the proof we needed. After that we never went near one of those moths again. I still will not kill one to this day and I am now 20 years old.

If you step on a turtle it will not release you until it thunders.

I used to believe that stickbugs were really Russian spies, and they contained a bomb in them, so if you hurt the stickbug you would die with the bomb!

When I was small I thought that cats were female and dogs were male and they got married...sometimes having kittens and sometimes having puppies.

I used to believe that all brown ducks were female, and green and grey ducks were male. I was told this when I was younger, and did not know that they were 2 different species. Stoopid me. And evil parents for making me believe this!!

I used to think that a spider would come into my room at night and eat me

I used to believe…

cats are girls and dogs are boys

When i was five, a huge praying mantis somehow landed right in the middle of my shrit as i was walking with my dad. I FREAKED OUT and sent the poor thing flying. Whenever i saw a mantis after that i thought it was the same one and i avoided it at all cost. i thought it would try to get revene on me for what i did

When I was little, my dad would tell me all the sounds the animals would make. One day, I got a playset with African animals, and he picked up the zebra and told me that they said "zeeeeebra!" I believed this until I saw real zebras on TV.

when i was younger i had pidgeons living in my roof,my mum told me that they would come in at night and steal my eyes and replace them with new ones fron then till the pidgeons left i set out traps that i would always fall into

when i was about 8 years old, my mum told me that if you stepped on the cracks of the pavement then you would get married to a snake! that used to freak me oput because i didn't want to get married to a snke!!!!

i used to believe that we can eat sipders cause that my mom said that she would put one in my month if i would not be quiet !!!
