My mum is a sociologist and it took me a long time to work out exactly what she did for a living. When I was three we went for a holiday on a farm. One morning at the farm I ran off and hid. My mum called me from the yard and said "Where are you?". A little voice said back "I'm in the henhouse". My mum then said "what are you doing in the henhouse?" and I replied "sociology"!!
A childhood belief about work
others believed things like this
- I thought when Grandma's hens were cackling, they were giggling about some private joke in the henhouse. — Not a farm kid
- I used to believe that they shoot the chickens we eat one by one at the farm.— A
- As a kid, I thought ice came out the ice farm. Yes like Minecraft.Anon
- In my youth,I was always convinced that my chocolate easter eggs came from my uncles chicken farm!— Jamsie
- I believed until near adulthood that when I was 6 or 7 I had actually flown for several feet in my back yard. — Jane S Poole
- I thought the holiday was called "Merrychristmas" so I would tell people "happy merrychristmas"Anon
