I used to believe that that people were saying "kitty glitter" instead of "kitty litter". So I bugged my dad for months until he finally agreed to get one, as long as I was the one who dealt with the (g)litterbox. I wholeheartedly agreed and we finally got the cat. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when i found out that cats did not actually come with a box of glitter to play with......
A childhood belief about cats and dogs

- few years ago, finally I found out that asparagus are not big sea fishes.. — nixass
- As a small child I believed that the word was "nakeup", finally I found out that it was actually "makeup".— Hannnah P.
- Looking back at it, the belief that dogs eat cats is a pretty funny idea. I used to believe it myself.Anon
- Do you really mean to tell me that father Christmas is a myth?
