one day on a family holiday, we were near some hills and there were sheep living on them. dad told me that sheep that lived on mountains had two long legs and two short legs so that they could stand properly on the slope. i asked dad what would happen if they turned around the other way (with their long legs uphill) and he said that they'd fall off the hill! i think i was about 10 at the time!!

When I was about 5 or 6, every time I saw a lizard, I asked my grandma what it was doing and she says that it's looking for food, but I said, where's it's refriderator?

When i was my brother was really young...like 3 or 4, he got a fish from the carnival he was so excited! We put the fish in a tank and in his room. The next day he told me that his fish was a girl and wanted some makeup! and i told him that fishes dont wear makeup! in about a week the fish died and we had a funeral (flush!) later that day i found my brother flush my moms make up and fish food down the toilet! Then he told me that his fish still wanted make up and she might get hungry down there!

When I was 4 or 5 years old, my cousin told me that if a squirrel was had black fur, then it meant that the squirrel had rabbies! I believed her, and whenever I saw a black squirrel, i would run away from it.

This is about dog muck and horse muck. When I was a wee lad our family took a walk up the country lane. It was then that I first encountered horse and naturally, I didn't yet know what it was called. I took a guess and told everyone to "look out for the dog horse"

when i was little my mum and dad told that sheep that lived on hill had two legs shorter than the other two so they didnt fall off. i did not question this untill i was 21 and i was telling my 2 yr old neice and realised that the sheep would not be able to walk in any other direction than the one they were stood in...of course by that time i had told my neice in front of a load of people who all thought i was mad

when i was five or six i had a goldfish called goldfish and my brother had the MASSIVE goldfish well one day i thought they were hungry so thought what do goldfish eat? and i came up with milk, i went into the kitchen asked my mom to pour me a cup of milk and instead of drinkin it i dumped it in the bowl. my mother came in and asked what i was doing i said that they told me they wanted some milk. my brother came home from school and bawled his eyes out since then i haven't been able to cope with fish.

A few years ago I managed to persuade my sister that sheep who live on mountains and hills had legs of different lenghts so that they could stand up straight!

when I was little we had alot of gerbils (kinda like hamsters with long tails) and one day I was walking byt them and I saw them rolling around in their nest . I thought they were killing eachother so I asked my mom to come and help .( I was 4 ) When my mom came she told me the hampsters were making babies ... I asked how they could do that and she said that I wouldnt understand . I told her I would get mad if she didnt tell me and that I would cry . So she said that if they kissed and snuggled they'd have a baby . Later that day forgetting this factor I picked up my gerbil whose name was ( i dont memba lets just say snowy) and i started snuggling with her she was so warm and her fur was so soft ...It was after I kissed her that I remembered what my mom said . I went screaming to her and told her that I was going to give birth to a baby gerbil . She then sat me down and explained the " gerbils and the bees"

When iI was a child Iused to believe that when children's teeth fell out they had to put it under the pillow and "the little mouse" would take it and leave a coin instead. I used to leave it a message because I wanted to meet it. Then, at school my teacher revealed that the little mouse did not exist. When I came back home I asked my mother and then I concluded that it was the same for Father Christmas. I was very sad.

My parents said athletes foot was caused by being wet.

I believed them.

I figured the tropical fish must be in agony. I found the Desenex and cured them. I figured a couple shakes a fish.

My parents were a little upset when they found them.

I used to believe that if we eat Pork, we will become Pork like.

I remember being frightened out of my wits while watching Tarzan on TV. The idea of being eatn by a vicious lion horrified me. I asked my Father if a lion would really eat a person and he laughed and told me not to worry becuse they run right past the kids and only eat the grown-ups. I believed it!!!

I used to believe that butterflies were made of butter. Just imagine spreading a butterfly on your toast and eating it lol

My Dad told me that the sheep in Wales (a mountainous country to the west of England for those that don't know)(!) had evolved shorter front legs and longer back legs than sheep from the lowland areas. This was to enable them to keep their stomachs level whilst grazing on the mountain sides... I believed this for rather a long time!

me and my sister used to fold up our top lips, showing our teeth. My mum used to tell us not to do this because its what animals do when they mate!
