I was about 3 when Jaws came out. One day my dad and I were driving some place at night and an ad came on the radio for the movie. I asked my dad some things about the movie. At one point he said that Jaws comes out of the deep dark water and gets people. I looked at the tpitch black area where the truck floor board was under my feet. I decided that if he came out of deep dark areas, then I could be in danger. So I pulled my feet up onto the seat. I refused to put them down the rest of the trip.

I believed you had to color all the dinosaurs in coloring books green because all the dinosaurs WERE green.

My mother once told me that a long time ago, unicorns existed. They were simply extinct because poachers killed them for their horns. I believed this until around 5th grade.

When I was 12 my older brother had me convinced that the cows we used to see on steep hills were breed so the two legs on the up-hill side were shorter than the others so they could stand up straight. I used to wonder if they just walked round and round the hill to find new grass or just backed up.

When I was 5 I was in an area with alot of cows. After studying cows and their poos for a bit and noticing that the cows and poos varied in colour, I proclaimed "Black cows do black poos, white cows do white poos and black and white cows do black and white poos"

Logical yeah?

When I wer 4 I lernt about rats. A big rat lived under our shed, a shed raised off the ground by an inch or so. Obviously rats were flat. Rats, I wer told, FLEW for the throat when cornered - aha rats could fly as well ! AND had razor sharp teeth. Not like the cuddly toys that pass for rats these days.

When I was little, my dad told me that there were alligators in the septic tank and they were the ones who made all the noise. The septic tank was in the basement with the nintendo set (1985) so once I was done playing, I would race through the basement turning off all the lights as fast as I could so that the alligators wouldn't get out of the tank and eat me.

I belived that when you were driving down the road and you smelled a skunk it ment some one ran a skunk over. Then I started to think about it. Skunks can't really be that stupid. Then I realized that skunks spray when there being threatened. I felt so dumb.

You remember all those old cartoons where cats would get chased by dogs? This is how it worked in my mind: Cats ate mice, birds, or fish. Mice only ate cheese. Birds ate birdseed. Fish ate eachother. ...And dogs ate cats and bones.
I also had no idea the bones that dogs ate were actually once part of an animal. I knew about people & animals having bones & all that, but it just never occurred to me that it was once part of a living thing.
Furthermore, i thought that when animals got eaten by other animals, they'd just set up camp in the belly that was now their home & eventually escape.

When I was nine we went on holday to Cornwall. Near to our campsite was 'The Dolphin Riding School'. I was convinced (helped on by my older brother) that this was where you could learn to ride a dolphin........
