I used to believe that elephants had steering wheels. My dad told me they did!
I also used to believe that bananas were made in factories. Guess who told me?

When I was in primary school, every now and then some people would come in to do talks on how to be safe doing everyday jobs. One time they came in to do a talk about chip pans saying how you should never put them in water straight after or theyll cause a fire or something along those lines. I thought that chippan was a type of monkey so the whole time was trying to figure out why there would be a monkey in the kitchen and how a monkey could cause so many fires!

I remember as a child thinking that the amount of White on a cow was the amount of milk in them, it wasn't until I saw a cow that was completely White and mentioned to my boyfriend about it needing to be milked and him laughing that I realised how ridiculous that idea was

When I was little, before I learned animals even. My dad told me the black and white things in the fields were called moo dogs. I believed that until I was about 4.

When I was little I thought cows married horses, cows were all female and horses were all male.

When I was 3, I saw a commercial on tv with monkeys. My parents convinced me that I was a monkey since I liked to climb on everything!

I was in a wood one time and my Auntie told me (cause she knew I was scared of snakes) that snakes grew in ferns! loads of them round the main paths, so I wouldn`t go off the path! I have had a fear of walking through ferns ever since!!!
Until senior year of high school I believed that roast beef was not actually beef. I never even stopped to consider what other animal it might be. I was simply certain, thanks to my older brother, that it was not beef.

When I was in preschool I believe giraffes had long legs so they could kick lions' heads off. I wrote a book complete with a picture.

I once believed the Goat Skull in the backyard would snap at and bite me if I went too close (thanks to my older siblings) and to this day I still feel that gut-wrenching fear when I walk past any animal skeleton.

My dad once told me that the giant rolled-up hay bales that we would pass as we drove through the countryside were elephant poop. I believed that until I went on a 7th grade trip to the zoo.

I used to genuinely believe that cowlicks came from cows licking you. I was probably three when we passed a pasture and I asked "is that the cow that licked me?" I will never live that down.

my dad told me that mountain sheep had legs shorter on one side so they could stand on slopes, but this meant if they turned around and tried to walk the other way, they fell over. i believed him

That there was one dinosaur still left - the Rhinosaurus. When my teacher told me it's pronounced "rhinoceros" I thought, "poTAYto/poTAHto, it still looks like a dinosaur to me."
