When I heard that the flowers in my parents' vase were "asleep" (i.e. closed up for the night), I took it literally and thought I could "wake them up" by yelling.

I thought that if you held a buttercup to your face and it only reflected on your chin softly, it meant you only liked butter a little bit.

I used to believe the stick insect was a real stick and when the night was coming the million stick insect gathered to create the tree. If 50% insect stick died the tree would die too. That's why to me, the Amazonia forets died because the stick insect died too!

I never knew that the yellow dandelion and the white one with all of the fluffy seeds were the same plant. I was about ten, and I wanted to make dandelion salad like from the Hunger Games, but my mom said that the fertilizer wouldn't be a good thing. So, she suggested blowing the seeds and growing that. Waaaaaaait a minute... What?
