When I was young, I used to believe hamsters were able to talk because I saw the movie " Ratatouille" so I wanted to talk with my hamster.
One day, my mother saw me during my pseudo conversation and she told me that a hamster can't talk.
After that, I was crying.
Now, when I saw a hamster I think about this story.

When I was a child, I believed that the little mouse Perez existed.

I thought that a baboon and a buffoon were the same thing.

When I was little someone gave me a "guinea" pig as a pet. She told me that, if I held it upside down...it's eyes would pop out. I never touched the guinea pig! (I never cared for any rodent-type animal!)

I live near a big hill and my mum told me that the sheep who lived on the hill had to walk down the hill backwards becuse it was so steep. Everytime I went past the hill I used to look for sheep walking backwards down the hill, but never saw any!!

I once got rabbits as a present for easter. they were in a cardboard box. We didn't have a proper cage for them so my parents put then in the playpen until we could get a cage. The rabbits chewed through the play and hopped all over the house pooping and whatnot. I guess this was a huge pain to my parents who decided to skip the cage and bring back the rabbits back to the store. However, they told me that the rabbits were going to live in the wood s behind our house so that if they were needed at Easter they would be easier to find. I beleived this FOR YEARS!

I used to believe in the Raton Perez (a mouse who would take my fallen tooth and place money under my pillow). I was so convinced that he existed that I told my sister I saw him wearing pants, a vest and running around trying to find a hole to leave. Unfortunately there were no holes, so we provided a burial since he obviously must have died since he was unable to return home. We never did find his body ;o)

I thought that dolphins were smarter than people. My dad tried to convince me otherwise, and said "how come they don't drive cars, then?" - I thought it was because they liked having fun more than driving cars and going to work.

I used to believe that giraffes didn't make any noise and that was because they didn't have voice boxes. I never thought about it much but when I went to Kenya 2 years agao I found out that they do have voice boxes and that they do make noise.

I thought ponies were baby horses until I was in my 20's. A very bright little girl I was babysitting corrected me. We laughed really hard about it. She was kind enough not to make fun of me.

When my sister was little (around 5 or so) I used to tell her that rabbits made the sound of "hippity-hop, hippity-hop" when they tried to speak. She believed me for a few years and whenever she played with her stuffed rabbits, she'd say "hippity-hop!".

When I was little, I used to love dinosaurs, and thought that they didnt poop because they were too cool....

I used to think that if a gorilla pounded its chest it liked you.

When I was young Jaws was very popular and I finally got to watch it. I was terrified to go to the bathroom, take a bath or swim in the deep end of the pool because I thought Jaws would eat me.

When I was little I used to believe that T-Rex's and Tyranosaurus Rex's were two different kinds of dinosaurs. I embarrassed myself in front of the class once when I asked about this!

Ness

I use to think that when people had colds and said they had frogs in their throat that they really did have a frog in there and I always wondered how it got there or why they chose to swallow a frog!

Sarah

I used to think all mice were white and those whom had other coloring were just painted

Until I was about 13 I thought chipmunks were baby squirrels.

My Father used to tell me that Unicorns existed a long time ago, but everyone liked them more than Jesus, so God killed them all.
