When I was about two or three years old, there was an area that a fire had gone through and it burnt the tops of the trees and all the bushes ect. Well, my daddy would tell me that dinosaurs ate the tops of the trees off a long time ago, and that they never grew back. Eventually I learned it wasn't true.
To this day the tree tops haven't grown back yet lol.
A childhood belief about plants

others believed things like this

- When I was little, I used to believe that the tops of trees touched the sky.Anon
- I was convinced that hot air sinks. Why else are mountain tops cold, and Death Vally is so hot?— Not-my-wife
- I used to believe that sonic booms were huge explosions that only occured at the very tops of mountains.— Jessica Tinch
- I used to believe that broccoli grew on trees. It looks like a tree, so it made sense, right?— Catherine...
