I believed that cows always laid down when it was going to rain, thereby reserving a nice dry spot to lie on. I therefore thought I could predict rain before anyone else.

Until I met my husband in my mid-twenties I didn't know that reindeer were real animals. I thought they were part of the "magic" of Christmas. My husband delights in telling this to everyone we know, including total strangers.

I used to think that fireflies only came out for the 4th of July. :-)

I once knew a guy who was absolutely convinced that if you tickled a trout on its belly, it will fall asleep and willingly fall into your net. I think he still believes it!!

As a child I had an unnatural fear of snakes. I was visiting my grandfather on Vancouver Island who lived on the beach. I would walk along the beach but I was terrified of the washed up seaweed since I thought that snakes lived in it.
Friend (adult) and I drove passed a place that advertised albino deer and she thought they were gulling the public because she believed that deer turned white in the winter time.
I thought jelly fish were made out of fruit jelly.

As a small child my mother told me that baby penquins lived in the fridge and that if i kept opening the door (trying to catch the light off) penquins would become extinct and it would be all my fault. I believd this for many many years!

I've always thought butterflies are all girls and bees are boys. It seemed logical to me. I still like to think of it this way.

For some reason I had got it my mind that humans were the creators of all life. My mother was, to say the least, surprised when asked her to give birth to a cat, since I just gotten a sister.

When I was little I filled my pockets with rabbit droppings because I thought they were special, shiny, black pebbles.

Not mine - my wife's. She believed that the elephant's trunk was also it's, umm, copulation device. She was eighteen when I demonstrated otherwise by taking her to Chester Zoo.

Everyones heard the stories about animals who live on hills with two legs shorter than the others so they could stand on hills-my version was the haggis.My mum was scottish and told me that haggises lived on hills in scotland and spent all day running round hills with two short legs and two long legs.

When I was little I used to live in the country. When walking with my Mum to visit my auntie I asked we would sometimes come across horse dung on the road. I asked my Mum what happened to it and she said that the devil collected it. This seemed reasonable at the time.

My parents once showed me the plastic cows in Milton Keynes (UK) from a train window. They told me it was because Milton Keynes didn't have any cows of its own, and I thought this was really sad, that they had to make cows because they couldn't afford any real ones.

Whenever we'd go on holiday we'd go via the motorway and there would be these horse boxes with CAUTION HORSES in big bold lettering.
I always wanted to visit this place called Caution and see all these wonderful horse!
Took my mother some time to convince me that there wasn't a place called Caution!
