animals

One day in class, we had gotten very off-topic, as we often did in this class, and we arrived at the topic of chickens. The teacher raised chickens for the eggs, to sell and eat, and it happened that he had an incubator full of eggs in the classroom.

One boy asked if any of them were roosters. The teacher responded by rhetorically asking how he'd know, before the eggs were hatched. Then, one girl, looking confused, asked why a rooster would come out of a chicken egg in the first place! Another girl sitting next to her whispered something to her, and she said... "Ohhhhh, I get it..." and turned bright red...

By the way, how old did you imagine these kids were? And what sort of class did you imagine them in? No, not elementary school -- this was 10th-grade physics class. Really.

I was about 3 when Jaws came out. One day my dad and I were driving some place at night and an ad came on the radio for the movie. I asked my dad some things about the movie. At one point he said that Jaws comes out of the deep dark water and gets people. I looked at the tpitch black area where the truck floor board was under my feet. I decided that if he came out of deep dark areas, then I could be in danger. So I pulled my feet up onto the seat. I refused to put them down the rest of the trip.

quand j' étais petite, je croyait que les animaux pouvait me parler rien qu'a moi et j'était heureuse mais par contre tout le monde ce moquait de moi .

when me and my friends were about 4 or 5 we always tried to catch birds. So after my dad would mow the grass we would take the piles of grass and make little nests out of them then set them in the tree. No birds ever came XD.

When I being Potty Trained we had two cats, Achllies and Troy. Well, one day I went outside and pulled off my training pants and started going poop. I thought I was a cat I guess, because when my mom saw me and sked what I was doing I responded, "Kitties poop outside!"
My mom hates it, but the rest of my family loves telling it and I always tease her about hating it.
I also would kiss the oldest, Achillies, goodnight cause I thought he was my Grampa.

When I was little I liked to colect acorns and my brother said wasps came from acorns. I believed him.

My mother once told me that a long time ago, unicorns existed. They were simply extinct because poachers killed them for their horns. I believed this until around 5th grade.

I used to believe…

penguins are over six feet tall

I used to think that girl dogs were called meters and male dogs were called ometers because that's what my parents called them. Turns out that they made up those silly names for dogs while they were dating and it kind of stuck. Problem was, I didn't know it wasn't a slang word for dog ... like pooch or mutt. Had something to do with O'Cedar Mops commercial or something. LOL!

My Uncle Ernie convinced me that he had a baby elephant in his shed. He always used to tell me it's trunk was poking out of the window until I turned round and "just missed it". I beleived him for years and never actually thought to go and check....

When I was very little, my parents told me that cats didn't like water. I thought that this meant they didn't even drink water. So I was surprised when I saw Drummer, our cat at the time, drinking some water from his food/water dish.

My sister and I used to try and catch the birds that landed in our backyard all the time. At one point, we thought that if we held tree branches and stood really still, that the birds would think we were trees and land on us. We soon found out that it didn't work, though.

I also tried to catch birds by digging pitfall type traps. Although I was smart kid, it never occured back then that they could easily fly out of such traps.

When I was in High School Chemistry, my teacher showed us a cow magnet. Apparently farmers make cows swallow strong magnets to attach to other metal things they accidently eat, like nails. This somehow prevents damage.

When he told us about them, he said that they sit in cows stomachs, and when the farmer wants to cows to come back into the barn, he turns on a giant electromagnet and the gentle "pull" in the cows' stomachs makes them go back in...

..apparently, he was joking.

when i was a kid i used to believe the monkey could speak

My nintendo game cube was K.O.I thought my parrot was magical because when i searched him behind curtains, I fell on it and then it worked again ! Magical this parrot !!!

I used to believe that dogs and cats could make babies together !!
