My mom said to my aunt " that Kudzu is taking over, nothing can kill it". So in my mind she said kudzu was going to take over the earth and we would be smothered by it, and that is what I belived.

I used to be convinced trees created wind. If anyone said otherwise, I would insult them for their stupidity.

I believed that that little black bit inside tulips (the stamen or whatever it is) was a spider that lived inside it. Each tulip had one, so I kept away from tulips because I didn't want the spiders to jump out and get me.

I used to believe that when you step over a fallen leaf and it crunched you could ask a wish that would come true.

I used to belive that if I steed on Fertilizer i would grow another head.

I used to get ivy confused with ivory.

When I was younger, I used to believe I approached a tree with a hole, it ate me.

I used to think there was a kind of vegetable called a “Lunt”, because of the villain Mr. Lunt from VeggieTales, which I could not tell what vegetable he was, so I assumed he was one called a “lunt”. I also thought pickles were not the same as cucumbers, so there’s that too. I also got confused over what sort of vegetable a “snoodle” was when I saw the DVD cover in a store, as the “snoodle” was not presented as a monster like the fib.

If you picked a dandelion, you would pee your pants

I used to believe that the black part inside tulips was a spider. I remember being terrified when tulips were open. :)

When I was a toddler, I used to call the flowers on the Pear trees,"Popcorn for the squriles"

ANON

I used to believe that after eating a popsicle, you know, those with the wooden stick, that if I threw the stick to the floor, a tree would grow there :p

Ana

I used to believe that tomatoes came from trees. I discovered that this was false quite late :S
By the way, I seem to remember that I thought the same about watermelons... heheh...

I used to believe that if a rose was black it was satanic. If you held one it would fly up and cut that hand off.

Kimberly

I used to believe that Indians (Native-Americans) used to pick blades of grass and chew on the bottom white-ish part for milk!

When I was three or so, I started calling daffodils, at the time a flower I was particularly fond of, daffodillos. I was told this was rubbish and for some reason decided that they were only daffodillos after the turned brown and wilted. It took my mum years to stop me thinking that.

Around 1984, I found this funky-looking mushroom in the backyard. The cap was about a big and thick as a piece of steak. But, it coloring was disgusting (orange, yellow and green)! On top of that, brown sludge was oozing out the side. I pummeled it with a plastic baseball bat. My Dad said now I had 'got poison on the bat.' Impulsively, I "cleaned" it off with my hand. Now I had 'poison on my hands.' He told me to go inside and wash my hands. As I was going inside, I tasted my finger. Then I realized "...What have I done??? I've eaten mushroom poison!!!" I now assumed I was going to die. "2000" randomly popped into my head. "I have only until the year 2000 to live!" ...Well, it is now 2004 and I don't feel one bit ill. --How silly.

I went to visit my cousins on a farm, and we spent an entire day picking what they called mustard. At the end of the day imagine my disapointment when they just dumped this anddid not make mustard---being a city slicker, I did not know it was a weed!
