I used to believe that the "beeswax" in furniture polish came from the ears of bees - 'cos my wax came from my ears ( frequently syrenged as a child)! I used to wonder how they caught them, how small their ears must have been and if they had really small cotton buds made especially for the purpose.

My mother told me that we she was little, her mother (my granny) pointed to the fields at dusk and said "Oh, listen to the quail."
Mom was sure she said "...listen to the whale" and she thought she could she a whale running about in the nearly dark woods across the field. So she refused to play outside all summer for fear of the whale.

when i was younger, about 4 or 5, my parents bought me some fish for my birthday. but the next morning when i woke up they were dead. i was so devestated that they went out and bought me 2 more fish. That night those 2 fish died but knowing how upste i would get while i was sleeping they got my grandma to go but 2 more fish. the only fish she could find has spots on them. so when i woke up and notice my fish had spots on them my mother told me that they had the chicken pox. and i believed her, until i was like 14. i also told everyone that i knew that my fisg had had chicken pox. when i was telling an elderly neighbour is when my mom finally told me the truth.

when i was about three i was deathly afraid of cows. And it didn't help that my older sister collected stuffed cows. Well, i refused to go into our living room after dark because for some reason i was convinced that the cows would come up to the window and moo at me.
did i mention we live in the suburbs and theres not a single cow for miles?
i also used to think that a MooCow was a special breed of cow.
I used to believe that getting an animal "fixed" meant giving it an operation to make it stop peeing. Now that i have a cat, i can see how that would actually come in handy!
i always thought that tigers and lions were the same animal except tigers were girls and lions were boys...i just found out a week or so ago that that's not that case... and i'm almost 16...

I used to believe that fish fingers (fish sticks) actually swam in the sea. When I was 5 at school we had to paint a picture of creatures under the sea and I painted fish fingers. My teacher held up my painting and embarrassed me in f4ront of my whole class. She thought I did it on purpose but I must have actually believed they swam in the sea!

when i was about 4 years old i saw cows mating and announced, "look! that cow is giving the other cow a piggy-back ride." my uncle calmly said, "no, those cows are playing leap-frog."

when i was little i used to believe that could talk to squirrels. i had a squirrel who was my best friend and i named her buttercup. so everytime we were in the car and i saw a squirrel running across someone's yard, i would scream "hey there's buttercup!" yeah... im pretty sure i saw about a hundred squirrels named buttercup.

My hamster, Charlie, had this annoying habit of running up the chimney when we let him out. I remember all the hours I spent with my family staring up the chimney, watching for any rodent-like movements. Anyway, each time he came down, he would be covered in soot. Since he had gone up a white hamster, and come down a black one, I reasoned that it was in fact a different hamster that came down each time. I thought there was this whole city of hamsters living in our chimney, and whenever one wanted to rejoin his family, he would go up the chimney and another one would be sent down. I think I must have had an overactive imagination.

When I was very small I had a stuffed monkey, which I loved. One day I left it on the bus and my mother couldnt get it back so she later went out and bought me a cuddly giraffe. I cried when I noticed it wasnt the monkey and my dad said that when monkeys grew up they grew into giraffes. I believed this until 5th grade when we were learnng about evolution in science.
My teacher asked:"what did apes and monkeys evolve into"?
Si put up my hand and said:"GIRAFFES" everyone teased me for months after that. I have never been able to forgive my father.
