animals

I used to believe that if I left my window open at night, the next day, the birds would come
as in the cartoon Cinderella

When I was 2 years old I used to pout when I didn't get my way, and my lower lip would stick out. My mom told me that a birdie was going to potty on my lip if I didn't stop pouting (we happened to be outside at that moment). I remember being on the lookout for that bird, and bracing myself for the impending bombardment, because I sure as heck wasn't going to stop pouting!

One day in the front yard when I pointed to the shell of a garden snail and asked my mom what it was, she said it was the snail's house. I imagined that when the snail retreated into his house he had all sorts of tiny furniture inside. I pictured the snail lounging on a couch, watching TV, and there was a little kitchen, and also a bedroom. The logistics of this made complete sense to me, because I believed that when the snail went inside his house he got smaller in the same way as when I saw the character Jeannie shrink down in size when she went into her bottle on the "I Dream of Jeannie" TV show. During the scenes where Jeannie was shown sitting on her pillows inside her bottle, you could see the groovy-looking interior walls of the bottle, and I imagined that same appearance for the interior walls of the snail's house.

When we first got our cat, I thought of all kinds of things. I tried to put clothes on him and couldn't understand why he didn't like it, I sometimes worried that he'd get replaced with an impostor, and because his name's ElDorado, when my dad's friend Marcus said that he thought "his ElDorado" (his wish) was a fine meal with friends, I freaked out because I thought he wanted to eat the cat!

I thought a porpoise was the same thing as a pufferfish

When I was a kid I thought praying mantises were made out of grass

I used to think that seals and walruses were the same species; walruses were the males and seals were the females

When I was young, I had a fear of spiders, and one day I dreamed of a spider walking on my hand. I was so scared that I fell out of my bed!

when i was younger , i used to think all dogs were mean .

When I was young I didn’t use to look out the window of my room because I thought there was an animal outside. I thought this because it was something that had occurred to my father so that I would not open the window.

when I was younger, I used to believe cows were cousin's to beefs

When I was younger, I used to believe toads were male and frog were females.

When I was a little kid i thought cattle meant a group of cats

When i was a kid, i thought that nematodes would eat our house like in one episode of SpongeBob

I think they're should be a section called "Cows and bulls are 2 different species" because I used to believe cows are often male, and that bulls are a different animal.

I used to believe that ants had the smallest nipples in the world
