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

One of my friends told me that when he was a kid he thought windmills were used to keep cows cool!

When I was younger, my dad put a little barrier (which is here to this day) around a weak widdle tree. I asked dad why he did that. He said "To protect it from weed whackers!". For years I thought a "weed whacker" was a kind of beaver with a chainsaw for a tail, that goes on annual killing rampages angainst widdle trees.

From the time I was about two until I was about six my father had me believing that I had been born a monkey with a tail. Because he and my mother thought that I would be embarassed to be the only kid in school with a long tail they had the doctors cut it off. Everytime we went to the zoo, saw monkeys on t.v., or merely heard the word monkey mentioned I would burst into tears for my lost tail and ability to swing from trees.

I used to believe that all animals would talk to each other when people weren't looking. And how do we know they don't?

I used to think that there was a chipmunk in my backyard hosting some kind of chipmunk game show. My friend and I used to run around in the hopes that we would be caught on camera and therefore become famous in the rodent world.

when i was very young my Mum would tell me that humans came from monkeys. I used to think that she meant we were born as monkeys, and grew into humans over the course of our lifetime.

I used to believe I was a dinosaur when I was younger because I never got sick and was always stronger than everyone else. I Don't know why I associated reptile like creatures to never getting sick but I did!

When I was little I used to believe that cows could read your mind by staring at you with their big eyes and they'd know if you had eaten meat and hate you for it. If found guilty they would start a stampede to kill you and avenge the dead cows you ate!

I used to believe that elephants came from peanuts. I tried to grow the elephants in dixie cups filled with dirt and peanuts- lined up on the window sill.

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.

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

I used to believe that every squirrel I saw was the same squirrel because when my mom and I saw a squirrel anywhere, my mom would say, "Look, there's your squirrel friend!" And I believed her :-p

We lived across the street from a wooded area. My sister used to tell me that prickly type bushes are what snakes grow from. It also made me very nervous. One day while we were out there and it started to rain, she added the fact they grow MUCH faster in the rain. I ran screaming all the way home.

When I was little my best friend told me I could grow a horse if I planted horse hair in the backyard. So, every week after our riding lesson, I would collect a clump of mane and tail hair and proceed to scatter it around the lawn. I never had a pony as a child. I was so gullible.
