I believed our budge could not only speak English but also read. I would write him notes with little instructions on. When he didn't follow the instructions, I assumed he was just being bloody-minded.

I used to go snipe hunting - a joke played on me by older siblings. I was always told that if I were blindfolded and held out a paper bag and made funny noises, the snipe would come jump in my bag. I never caught a snipe, but I did catch a lot of rocks, and consequently -chuckles, that way. FYI, a snipe is a small brown bird... I saw one in the zoo once.

When I was three years old I used to believe that we (the people) descend from pigeons.That's because some pigeons were always staying on my grandmothers' window-still.Later,somehow i gave up to believe in this.

up untill i think i was 19 years old i diddnt believe that chickens had sex. either my dad or my uncle told me when i was little that a hen would lay the egg and the rooster would come by and fertilise the egg, like salmon. the only reason i do not still believe this is because my boyfriends(now husband) mother had chickens and he told me one day that they were all doing it again on the front lawn, the following conversation was very embarrasing for me but now i know better.

I used to believe that it is always hot on the South and that pinguins wear the white t-shirts.

Back in the day when it was safe to walk home from kindergarten by yourself, my mom had one rule: that we cross the street holding the teacher's hand.
So one day, I didn't wait for the teacher and ran across the street. When I got home, my mom asked me why I didn't cross the street with the teacher. I was perplexed as to how she knew. When I asked, she replied that a little bird told her (she used to run up an alley to the school, watch us cross the street and run home).
For the next couple of years I was convinced that my mom talked to birds. I was very careful to make sure none were around if I were breaking rules!

When I was a kid I used to believe that we can catch a sea gull throwing salt at its tail. So i always carried some salt when going to the beach in case I saw one.

It was injured but I thought it really did work (sigh)

My husband had received his first BB gun for Christmas one year and decided to go hunting. He was so thrilled to bring home a bird. When asked why he was so excited he told his parents "I did it, I shot him right in the pecker". After they finished laughing, his father explained that he shot the bird's BEAK.

Actually my niece. The first time she a penquin she took what she had in her available lexicon and came up with "Cowduck". Pretty smart for a 2 year old

There were chickens which had been specially bred to have 6 legs (hence more drumsticks)...the problem was, nobody could catch them.

My grandparents on both sides grew up on farms and moved to the suburbs as adults, therefore there was always this misguided farm wisdom in the city. One of my Grandfathers used to say that "Turkeys are so stupid that if it was raining they would drown." (by looking up into the sky and filling their mouth and nostrils with rain.) As a college freshman moving to Northern Wisconsin (major farms of all types) I thought that the Ginsing fields (which are covered entirely using posts and enormous tarps) were turkey shelters.
