I used to think that whenever you barked and were trying to say something, you had to think it out as you were barking...like loud telepathy.

When I was little - my fish kept dying, so my mom bought me invisible fish. She stopped getting me invisible fish when I was maybe 5 or 6. Lots of years later - after I'd forgotten, when I was 15, I remembered while talking about pets we had owned. My friend insisted there was no such thing as invisible fish. It sounds silly - but til I was 15 I thought jelly fish were invisible so I never had a problem believing in invisible fish. I asked my mom (when I was 15) if they were real - and she replied "Of course they were" (with a laugh) That's when I discovered there was no such thing as invisible fish!

I see some people thought cats were female and dogs were male, but I thought cows were female and horses were male.

I used to believe that buffalos and reindeer were mythical creatures like unicorns and dragons, but wanted a pet phoenix because they were real.

When I was little (5) my brothers friend (15) told me that warts were baby frogs and everytime I would see his friend I would ask him if they have hatched yet because I wanted one.

I thought swans were mystical creatures. I thought that they were like unicorns. I had never seen one until a couple of years ago, when I was 12. God, was I stupid

i used to belive that mushrooms grew in underground caverns, and little pigs wearing capes were the only creatures that could harvest mushrooms!!!

When I was about 4, I thought catfish were supposed to meow.

I used to believe that if you Borowed money from the bank to buy a horse and didnt pay the bank back, then the horse went to the factory.

I used to think that all flamingoes were like a really bright hot pink. We were driving down through florida and my dad pointed out some flamingoes.I didn't believe him because some of them were brown and only only a few had a lot of pink. It wasn't til after that I realized that those bastards from the Beanie Baby company were lying about those flamingoes...

I used to believe that "wallaby" and "wobbly" were the same word (possibly pronounced "wabbly"), and that wabblies were called thus because of their wabbly ways.
I used to think that dragons really still excisted,

When I was 3 years old, we moved into a new house that had mice. I loved animals and longed to see a mouse so I sat by one of the mouse holes for what seemed like an awfully long time hoping that one would pop out. My mum saw me and told me that the mice had "gone to the fair" down the road. I believed that mice visited fairs for years; later my mum admitted that she had poisoned them.
I used to believe that when it was raining, the little streaks and dots all over the window were fush. I was so happy when it rained because all the fish came out because i thought they only cam out when it rained or when they were in water. Also, when the "fish" reached the end of the window (the rubbery line going vertically across the window) THEY DIED!

Me and a friend of mine believed that there was a dinossaur in the lake of our city, and we would hunt it when we were adults.

My friend and I were cleaning her goldfish tank in the bathroom when one of the fish jumped out of the tank, landing in the sink, and slid down the drain (really, it happened. I think it was suicide). Anyway, we begged her mom to take us to the beach because we thought that's where all the sink water came out and we wanted to save her lost fish.
When I was little we used to live near a milk processing plant. For some reason, I convinced myself that it was a farm and that there were cows living there, despite the fact it was in the middle of a city. When i was about 8 I walked past with my Dad and asked him why you could never hear the animals. Totally deadpan, he told me that all the cows had to go for a special operation to have their moos removed. Worryingly, I was 18 before I happened to comment to a boyfriend that I thought it was pretty cruel that all the cows had to have an operation just so they'd be silent. We split up not too long after...

When I was 6, I went to Sea World in Orlando and saw Shamu the killer whale. When I was 10, I went to Sea World in San Diego and again saw "Shamu" the killer whale. I had seen all those National Geographic shows on killer whales and how they are transported. So I used to wonder how TIRED "Shamu" must be to always travel from coast to coast, and how lucky I was that Shamu happened to be at the particular Sea World I visited.
I convinced my two younger sisters of this one. We were at a chinese restaurant, admiring the huge tropical fish in their fish tank. I told them that they were "moo goos" and if you ordered "Moo Goo Gai Pan", you got to pick out which fish you wanted to eat.
They cried, feeling sorry for the beautiful fishies.

I used to believe cows grew from seeds. My dad told me this when I was 2, and I believed it til I was like 4 or 5.
