I used to believe that if you held guinea pigs up by their tails their eyes would drop out. I couldn't test this as I could never find their tails.

I remember when I would go to my grandfathers farm he told me that one side of the cows legs are shorter than the other... thats how cows can stand on a hill without falling off

When my sister was little we were driving passed a farm with a bunch of cows on it. My sister pointed and ask the most important question a child can ask "What's that?" My evil mother told her they were elephants. For the longest time my sister would point out cows and say "Look effanents".
As a result (not of this but all the other stuff our evil mother did) we are both now quite twisted adults

I used to believe that dandelions roared, and butterflies had butter on their wings.

When I was young, I though animals could read your mind, so instead of talking to animals I would "think" to them. After my mom watched me watch one of our cats for just over an hour while it went about its business, she asked me what I was doing. When I told her, she said that even kitties and puppies had to hear to know what we were thinking.
Apparently, I'd been watching a nature show and they'd been talking about how some animals use scent to communicate. I interpreted that as telepathic abilities.

Again, watching an animal show, they were talking about how the mountains in which Bighorn Sheep live would change between winter and summer. They showed a shot of two goats dying in the harsh weather and their bones in the spring and then in the summer goat kids playing on the slopes.
For months I stuck by the fact that goats would die and come back to life younger every seasonal cycle.

I used to think that the females of any animal can decide to have babies whenever they want to. I did not realise that in order for an animal to reproduce, the female needs an injection of sperm from a male of the same species. The was a lengthy period where I knew that we need a man and a women (although I now know that a women can decide to have children without having to fall in love with a man thanks to artificial semenation, though we need men to donate their sperm prior) to have a baby, but I still thought that other animals can have babies whenever they wanted to without a male.
I thought when i was young that frogs used to eat mushrooms. :)

I used to think that in order to get fresh milk, every grocery store had a cow or two in it's back room. It wasn't until a nice store employee took me back there one day I learned otherwise.

When i was little, i was DEATHLY afraid of "draffies" (giraffes) , "boc-bocs" (chickens), and monkey woods (any forest...i always thought monkeys lived only in the woods) even though monkeys and giraffes were my favorite animals.
I slept with my mom untill i was at least 8 and one night when i was about 6 (i live by a highway so u can hear cars driving by 24/7 and my moms room is right by the driveway so u can hear if someone drives up) i must've heard somone drive up but i whispered "MOM!!!! MOM!! THERES DRAFFIES IN THE DRIVEWAY!" She tells and retells that story every Christmas.
For a family vaction one time we went to dig for diamonds and you had to walk through a path in the forest to get to the digging place. Well, i freaked out becuz "we were walking through monkey woods"!
One time during the summer we went to visit my aunt Susan in Tucson. I was about 3 at the time. My mom and i were walking past the stairs and i saw a shadow and started screm-crying saying "A BOC-BOC! A BOC-BOC!" dont ask me why i was afraid of a chicken but hey i was 3!

during my first week in a new school, aged 11, on my way to school on the bus one morning i noticed a cow was 'trying to climb on top of another cow).
I thought they were playing around, i didnt know the facts of life at that point.

When I was about 5 someone told me that all white horses were unicorns but only someone who was a virgin and true of heart could see the horns.
I had no idea what a "virgin" was but I became convinced I was somehow bad because I could not see the horns. I believed this until I was almost twelve.

I and all of my friends believed that it was important to wear a hat at night when going outside. In the midwest summer nights there were always bats flying around. I as well as all of my friends knew that bats could swoop down and get tangeled up in your hair and possibly even raise their young there.

I read a story about Micky Mouse when I was little. It was about a boy who had Micky Mouse as a pet in his house. I thought that Micky Mouse was real, and that people could buy them as a pet. I really wanted some Micky Mice in my house but i didnt know where I could buy one.

When I watched "Alice in Wonderland" for the first time, I really thought that rabbits could talk. I imagined myself seeing and talking to a rabbit that could talk and take me to a places where fantastic things happen. But unfortunately, I never saw a talking rabbit.

I was about 3 when Jaws came out. One day my dad and I were driving some place at night and an ad came on the radio for the movie. I asked my dad some things about the movie. At one point he said that Jaws comes out of the deep dark water and gets people. I looked at the tpitch black area where the truck floor board was under my feet. I decided that if he came out of deep dark areas, then I could be in danger. So I pulled my feet up onto the seat. I refused to put them down the rest of the trip.

I believed you had to color all the dinosaurs in coloring books green because all the dinosaurs WERE green.
