plants

The first time I ever saw yucca plants, my mother told me they were pineapple plants and that the pineapples themselves grew underground. I believed that for quite some time. I still don't know if my mother ever thought it was really true.

When telephone lines were first strung across the landscape of Iowa, my mother believed that the wonderously tall poles had been manufactured from hundreds of small sticks of wood. When she was grown and moved to the Pacific Northwest, she was amazed to learn that there were trees so tall you could make a telephone pole from just one.

When I was little I was scared of spider plants, cause I thought they had spiders in them. And actually . . . they often do! =P

when i was younger I used to believe that trees could speak with me and I spent all the summer evening speaking with the tree in my garden.

I used to believe that flowerbeds were beds for flowers.

Nina Green

someone once told me that if you picked dandelions you would wet the bed.
that same person also said if you pick butter cups and put them under your chin and reflected yellow that you liked butter.

I USE TO BELIEF THAT SOME PLANTS MOVE THEIR LEAVES(MOSTLY PLANTS AT MOUNTAINS OR HILLS) TO BLEW AIR THAT AIR MAKES OTHER PLANTS TO MOVE THEIR LEAVES AND BLEW WIND THIS IS THE REASON WHY PLANTS MOVE AT A TIME WHILE WIND IS COMING

I used to falsely believe that planting a fruit pip in the garden would actually grow a tree or bush.

Ice cream was only available in summer time.

Bullets were made from the dried bark of Sycamore trees.

Lead came from the center of trees.

My Gran told me that Monkey Puzzle Trees were so called because monkesys climbed them, and couldn't get down again. To this day, I hate looking at this type of tree!

I used to hear doves singing outside where I grew up. But for some unexplained reason, I always believed that it was the clovers making that noise. I never understood how simple grass could make a noise like that!

I used to believe that I could talk to nature. I still do. And I'm 12.

I used to believe when I was a small boy growing up in The Bahamas that palm trees created the wind, I remember it would make hand line fishing impossible, So I would go around flipping all the palm trees off.

I convinced my friend in a Science lesson that the plural of tree was tree, not "trees". Like fish or sheep. "Look over there at that locely bunch of tree!"

Jon Sims

while playing, we gals frequently used to hit our heads together accidentally.
I used to believe that it brings bad luck. so we do it again to give it a positive effect and run outdoors to watch for a coconut tree. such a wierd belief!!

When i was younger my house used to be lined by trees going down the drive way. My dad would tell me this so i wouldn't go past them and go into the road. May i re-mind you i was only 3 or 4 at the time so i had a baby sitter and me and her were walking down the drive way to go to her house. I started screaming my head off and we had to turn around and have my older neighbor(next door) drive us across. :pppp

When I was little, my mother told me that if you held a buttercup (flower) under your chin and your chin turned yellow, it meant that you liked butter. I remember my friends and I always holding up buttercups to our chins and saying, "Do you like butter?" Little did I know it was just the "reflection" of the yellow flower making your chin yellow!

On the way home from the shops, my brother and I used to walk through the local woods while our mum walked on the pavement. There was a large tree near to the end of the wood which had a root sticking out of the ground. There was a hole in it just big enough for a childs foot so everytime we got to it we'd put a foot in and proclaim, 'Thank you tree god for letting us pass'. I'm not sure if we thought this tree really owned the woods or not and if we didn't thank him he'd make us get lost, but we always did it.

When I was little, I saw a show called "Rose Petal Place." The characters were half-human half-flowers. For a while I believed that they were real and they hid in flower gardens.

When i was little i use to think my backyard was a jungle so i never went to the backyard without my little safari hat on and my plastic sword...
