I use to think mountains were dead dinosaurs and grass grew over it.

I used to believe that reindeers were made up, like Santa. As a cynical kid, I thought it was all part of the made-up Christmas package. Dragons: now there was an animal I could believe in.
I didn't find out they were real until Xmas 2007. I'm 19.

When I was younger I thought that if you stepped on a crack it would make dinosaurs come out and they would eat you right up!

My sister told me that if I was bad, I would be sent to the Okefenokee in a package where I would be promptly eaten by aligators, and I beleived it could be done.

I grew up in Toronto, one of the few places where almost all the squirrels in the city are black. There were so few grey squirrels that kids used to say that grey squirrels had rabies and if there was one on the playground, we'd all run inside screaming. Then I moved to New York. All of the squirrels were grey. It was the scariest place I'd ever been to.

When I was young I was always told not to sit on the ground or else you would get worms. I remember sitting on the ground one day playing and spending the REST OF THE NIGHT watching to see if worms crawled out my behind.

When I was little my mom told me that I had to keep my room clean all the time or else the mice would make nests in my mess and have babies. Then she told me that in the middle of the night when I was sleeping, the mice would run over my face and it would feel like the waves crashing on the beach. To this day, I hate mice and I have very clean house.

My older sister told me that hamsters could fly. I remember looking at my hamster when i was about 6 and seeing his small legs and wondering how he could fly with legs that small-and eventually convinced myself that they would become flat and thin when he began to fly. I found out that they couldn't fly when my hamster (who was old and blind by that point) walked off the edge of the table.

When I was about 4 or 5 my cousin who is three years older told me if i said the word "snakes", snakes would attack me.
i didn't say the word "snake" till i was nearly nine.

When I Was Little I would hear people talking about 'Tiger Woods'. Of course, I never realised he was a golf player, and would always beg my mum & Dad to take me to 'Tiger Woods' Funny thing was, I was terrified of tigers, ever since i'd met a man in a big furry tiger costume at the shopping center.
I used to believe that animals outside had nowhere to go to the bathroom. I saw a squirrel one day and emptied out a box and followed him with it. Once the squirrel figured out that the box did not contain any food, it bit me.
After reading "The Frog Prince," I tried to treat all frogs with respect, should one of them become a prince again and punish me for mistreating him as a frog.

when I was a little girl, I used to believe the little mouse made her house with our teeth!
( In France, when the little child loses one tooth, he believes that the little mouse takes it! )
