animals

My younger brothers and sister used to believe that dogs ate cats and they were mortal enimies of each other. (at least i finaly explained to them that dogs did not eat cats and that they could be the best of friends).

we had a neighbor down the street and they had been talking about how they had a birds nest in one of their porch plants.
one day i went there and peeked inside the pot, amazed at seeing real baby bird eggs infront of me.
i secretly stole one of them and took it hoom so i could "make it hatch".
i put it in the microwave, because i thought that would make the baby be born faster and then i could raise it.
needless to say, my mother was not happy with the exploded yolk all over the inside of the microwave!

I thought all cats were female and all dogs were male, I probably believed this about the dogs and cats, because most families I knew had one of each.

My family bought a dog when I was 5 years old. I didn't really believe that a dog was a different species. I thought there was a little person (and I mean little, because we had a miniature schaunzer) inside a furry suit. Sometimes, I would look into his eyes and think, "I know you're in there."

On my first camping trip,my dad told me to watch out for ear wigs,he told me they go up your ear and into your brain,then start eating your brain.I used to sleep on top of my toys so they couldnt get me.But then when i was ten i saw an ear wig and screamed"Its going to eat my brain ahhhh"and a little boy ran up to me and told me the truth!I was ten and he was four!!!!

I used to think that all dogs were male and all cats were female and when the cat had babies, the males would be dogs, the females cats.. I learned this wasnt true when I was 6 and saw my neighbors dog give birth.. And when I got my dog, who was female.

when i was little i used to beleive that dogs were the husbands of cats .

My grandfather and grandmother owned a daschund sausage dog. When we used to visit, I would sit and hear stories before my parents woke up. By the time I was eight, I believed that this dog had opened the bowling for England in the ashes, caught and bowled Bradman, been parachuted into Germany, stealing the plans that lead to D-day and biting Hitler, and had finally swam the channel home.Until I got back to school and boasted to friends. I look forward to having grand-children of my own.

When I was little my grandparents told me that cows get spots where the water, from their drinking ponds touch them. I actually belived this until about the age of 13. Needless to say I felt really stupid when I tried to tell a friend that and she just laughed at me. Now that I have my own kids I can't wait to pass on this little bit of knowledge to them. Hehe.

When my cousin and I were about three or four, we thought "chicken salad" was a salad made FOR chickens to eat. So we picked an assortment of grass, dandelions and greens, arranged this lovely "salad" in a pan and presented it to my grandmother's hens. We were really disappointed when they spurned our offering. Those picky chickens!

When i was little i always thought that if you kissed a frog or a toad it would turn into a really hot guy and you would live happily ever after. i kissed a whole lot af frogs and toads none of them ever turned in to a hot guy :(

When I was younger, my dad put a little barrier (which is here to this day) around a weak widdle tree. I asked dad why he did that. He said "To protect it from weed whackers!". For years I thought a "weed whacker" was a kind of beaver with a chainsaw for a tail, that goes on annual killing rampages angainst widdle trees.

We had a neighbor with a little white dog and when I asked what kind of dog he was, she said "It's a toy poodle." WOW! But it was so REAL looking!!! I was totally blown away! I kept surreptitiously searching for the switch to make the dog turn on and off, and trying to figure out where was the battery compartment, and was disappointed that they didn't have these things in the Christmas catalogs. I might have even started to suspect that our neighbor had been just fooling, but then one day I saw some other tiny dog, and I wondered: Could this by chance be another of those amazing toys? So I asked that dog's owner "Is that a toy dog?" and the answer was YES! Having received this further confirmation, I went on for YEARS thinking "toy dogs" were robots that looked absolutely life-like. This really was mind boggling and I spent a lot of time contemplating this amazing technological breakthrough.

at my school, theres a big rock. pretty much everyone thought it was a asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, but in the process of wiping out the dinosaurs, it squished disney land so everyone tried to move it. we even hired slugs to help; we got about a hundred rocks and built a city and put slugs all over it and in the morning when they were gone we thought they went to disney land under the rock.

Once i watch eight legged freaks and when the part with the guy getting shocked by a stun gun i was scared cus my brother said if i get a electric shock some giant spiders will come and eat me

A few years ago when my cousin was very young, my uncle read her a bedtime story and the book featured barnyard animals. I heard him say to her "look Katie, that's a cow. Cows make milk. Cows in Alaska make ice cream!" She is 13 now, and she still believes that ice cream comes from cows in Alaska.
