When the first MacDonnalds opened in Athens, Greece I was soooo excited!! I kept nagging my mum to go! She just couldn't understand why...until I asked if they had all the animals the song listed and how they would all fit in a building.....The song was obviously "Old McDonnald had a farm" ...bummer

As a young child I thought that sheep and poodles were the same animal.

Bats fascinated me when I was in kindergarten. Since the french word for bat is "Chauve-Souris" (Bald Mouse), I really thought bats were flying mice!

When I was around 4, I accidentally made a dot on the center of my forehead with marker. My older brother then said I was the "chosen one" and I was going to be sacrificed. I asked to who. Being on my aunt's farm, he looked around, pointed to a large brown and white goat and said," Him." For years after that I was terrified that goats were out to get me.

When my sister and I were little, my dad told us the cows on the hills were "Hill Cows" and that two of their legs were shorter than the other two so if they stood on flat ground they'd fall over.

We used to catch dogfish in the Great Lakes when I was a child. This old-timer fishing next to me one day said if I heard one bark, it meant I was going to die. I cut the line when a dogfish was on after that.
I used to believe that butterflies turned into moths at night and would turn back into a butterfly in the morning.

When I was a youngster, my grandfather told me that if a snapping turtle bites someone it would hold on and not let go until it thundered. I was an outdoors kid so I was always super careful when I saw and wanted to catch a snapper.

I used to believe that all swimming pools had trap doors to release sharks, like that Bond film. I persuaded myself that I was a prototype human, made by aliens/gods (presumably depending on how many additives I'd ingested). They had made me to check if humans were good or not before making any more. Everyone else on earth was a robot.
The aliens/gods had realised that we were no good from my example and the shark pool was their way of taking out the trash.

I always used to watch Snow White and Bambi. I thought that in "olden days," wild animals were never afraid of people, like in Snow White, but because people hunted them too much over the years, they learned to be afraid of people. I was always mad with generations past because I wanted to make friends with deer like Snow White was.
When I was 5 or 6, I had already been introduced to the internet.
So I was on this knockoff, unofficial, foreign " DISNEY MANIA ROOMMAKER " and I spotted a little pixel sprite of a male character eating asian food. I automatically titled the food as " Disney Food " which was served as Disneyland { I had never been there before, so of course I wouldn't know }. And then the animation depicted him burping after taking a bite. I thought he was sighing, so I assumed it was nasty. A few minutes later, I walk up to my older sister, who was 15 at the time, and asked her " Is Disney Food nasty? " She was puzzled and ready to laugh but she just said " No. " with a grin.

I used to believe that horses were born as foals (babies), then turned into ponys (kids) and then a horse (grown ups).

When I was a child I used to believe that when I went to my grandmother's house I could talk with cows, chickens and pigs and they could understand me.
My mom told me that when I was child I used to believe that my Barbies could sleep at night so I used to take them to bed.

I have no idea why.

I used to believe that being a tiger would be a job like plumber or layer. It was my dream job.

I used to believe that all sharks were machines. The reason for this is because I had misunderstood my father when he said that the sharks (on Jaws) were machines and I thought that he were saying that ALL sharks in real life are machines as well! So, basically, I thought that sharks were some form of living machines swimming round the oceans lol!

When I was small, my mother would close my bedroom window to "keep out the draft". I thought she was saying "keep out the giraffe", and since we lived in an apartment block I imagined a giraffe trying to peer in through my window each night, which unnerved me greatly.
