animals

When I was little, my dad told me that there were alligators in the septic tank and they were the ones who made all the noise. The septic tank was in the basement with the nintendo set (1985) so once I was done playing, I would race through the basement turning off all the lights as fast as I could so that the alligators wouldn't get out of the tank and eat me.

I belived that when you were driving down the road and you smelled a skunk it ment some one ran a skunk over. Then I started to think about it. Skunks can't really be that stupid. Then I realized that skunks spray when there being threatened. I felt so dumb.

i was sure if laid down with my dog and could breathe in rhythm with her that i would turn into a dog. i thought this would work with any animal. (it doesn't, i spent hours trying...lol)

i didnt believe this but sum people did and i wish it was true. my boyfriends grandad told someone that a haggis was a little furry animal that lived in the scottish mountains. they have one leg shorter than the other so can only walk up the mountain when they get to the top they fall off and then people eat them. cant believe sum1 actually believed that

You remember all those old cartoons where cats would get chased by dogs? This is how it worked in my mind: Cats ate mice, birds, or fish. Mice only ate cheese. Birds ate birdseed. Fish ate eachother. ...And dogs ate cats and bones.
I also had no idea the bones that dogs ate were actually once part of an animal. I knew about people & animals having bones & all that, but it just never occurred to me that it was once part of a living thing.
Furthermore, i thought that when animals got eaten by other animals, they'd just set up camp in the belly that was now their home & eventually escape.

My friend thought butterfly was actually called a 'flutterby.'

When I was little (about 4-8) I belived that the shells that look like they have teeth ( i think they are called pruca sheels) well I thought they would bite my ear off if I put one next to my ear to hear the ocean! So I diddn't pick them up. I don't belive that anymore but I am still cautious when around them!

I believed that ants were little pieces of chocolate. i tryed one and it tasted good. But then again i was 3.

When I was alittle girl, I used to think that when two dogs were humping, that one was just trying to "push the other one along" or hurry him up. So one day when my family was at a reunion, I saw one of our dogs "pushing" the other one, and I yelled,real loud, "Don't push so hard Freddie, Jannies coming!" Mom got quite a few comments

When we were 9 years old I told my friends who were afraid of dogs that steam comes out of your ears when you're afraid and that dogs will chase you if they see the steam. When we were 25 one of those friends was covering her ears, I asked why, and she pointed to a dog. I laughed at her for days.

I have had at two dogs my entire life. When I was between 4 and 6, I believed that dogs were just people in costumes, and that was why when you gave them a command they understood you. I believed this until my mom bought me a Shi-Tzu (really small dog) when I was 6.

When I was little my older brothers were really into reptiles (snakes and lizards, mostly). For some reason I got the idea that lizards were baby snakes, and when they grew up their legs fell off and they became snakes, kind of like frogs. I believed that untilI was about 12 years old (I'm now 15).

When I was nine we went on holday to Cornwall. Near to our campsite was 'The Dolphin Riding School'. I was convinced (helped on by my older brother) that this was where you could learn to ride a dolphin........

I used to think that the reindeer was just a made-up animal used for the story of Santa and holiday cheer. I only found out differently when I went to a Christmas store with my dad and they had real reindeer on show.

When i was in the third grade I got this great idea to take an egg out of the fridge and hide it in one of my drawers, cushioned and kept warm by clothes, thinking it would someday hatch into a cute little pet chicken. I kept it in there for months and was very disappointed when I gave up.

On my ninth birthday, I was eating cake in the kitchen with my friends when my mom asked me to come outside for a minute. As soon as I got out the door, I was astonished to see a real live pony standing in the street in front of my house. I actually believed for a whole two seconds that my parents had gotten me a pony for my birthday. My very first thought was, "Oh! Where will we keep her? Maybe we could build a stable in the backyard and I could ride her to school and . . ."

My mom must've noticed the look on my face because she very quickly informed me that the pony was only rented for an hour. Oh well, we still had fun riding it and it was ALMOST a dream come true.
