nature: plants

I remember that when my sister and I were young, we used to run around our backyard and she would always eat dandelions. One day, while she was mid-chomp on this huge dandelion, I screamed and convinced her that they were poisonous. I think she thought they were poisonous until she was 12.

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 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 pennies grew on trees on account that my mom told me that if i planted a penny, a penny tree would grow. im sure there is many pennies buried beneath my yard. and well....i know now that money does not grow on trees!!!

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"

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

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.

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