When I was about 7 my next door neighbour told me that the way to find out the sex of a goldfish was that its tummy went pink when it died!!

I told my eldest daughter when she was 2 that horses drove horse floats, she believed it until she was 8 and we drove past one and she saw the car towing the float.

My dad told me that sheep and cows that stood on hills,were a special breed that had legs shorter on one side, so they wouldn't topple over.

Stan the kid who lived next door once told me that if a frog peed on you, it would turn into a wart. And then another day he told me that a birthmark was from where the stork pooped on you.
I dont like frogs, and I'm kinda mad at the stork and if I ever run into Stan again Im gonna poke him in the eye, because I believed those things for a really long time.

When I was little, my mother said that you could tell what the weather was going to be by looking at cows in the pasture. If they were standing up, it meant it would be sunny. If they were laying down, it meant rain (or maybe it was the other way around?) Anyway, one day, we drove by a farm and I saw that some of the cows were standing up and some laying down. I asked my mother what that meant, and she said "Scattered showers."

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 used to believe that from seeing drawings or cartoons of goats eating cans, that they really could eat them.

When I was 5 I was in an area with alot of cows. After studying cows and their poos for a bit and noticing that the cows and poos varied in colour, I proclaimed "Black cows do black poos, white cows do white poos and black and white cows do black and white poos"

Logical yeah?

When I watched "Alice in Wonderland" for the first time, I really thought that rabbits could talk. I imagined myself seeing and talking to a rabbit that could talk and take me to a places where fantastic things happen. But unfortunately, I never saw a talking rabbit.

I used to believe that dandelions could turn into lions and vice versa and that this was how zoos got lions. This was due to the old "King of the Jungle" and I thought lions could kills anything.

I'm not sure where I got this from, but when I was little I believed that kangaroo pouches were filled with sticky purple gel.

MY Mum once told my sister and I that cows on hill were a special breed that had two legs shorted then the others so the didn't fall down the hill.. My sister believed until she was about 15

Anon

When I was a kid my family was out for a Sunday drive one day and my dad told me the reason the cows we passed could stand on the hillside was because they had two legs that were a lot shorter than the other two. I believed that for years.
