When I was about 6 years old my teeth began to fall and I was surprised and I felt bad because I had toothache .
Mi mom told me to put a tooth under the pillow there was a mouse used to eat teeth of children in compensation for that the mouse would leave money to me .
At that time I though it was a rewards and it was not bad for the teeth to fall. One day left my tooth under the pillow the next day I woke up early and I was looked for my rewards and I was sorprised when I raiced the pillow and I look one bill . I was happy I remembered .
I told with mi cousin about that , he was 5 years old I remembered that he was jealous .
One day I heared my aunt to talk whith my mom and told her about that mi cousin had removed 2 pieces of theeth he put it under the pillow he told her mom that never appeared money .
after morning he was bleeding she had to take him to the dentist After that mi mom told me not to tell anyone and my mom continúe the lié she told me that ,the only the mouse leaves money to goog children .
After that she told me the true when I was 10 years old.
It was so funny .

This is to do with my brother (he's 12). I was talking to him about 'big, hairy yaks' and he said, "Hairy? You mean feathery, don't you?" After a few quick questions it turned out he thought a Yak was a big black bird. Glad I caught that before anyone else... it took the Cambridge Encyclopedia to convince him I was right.

I grew up at the foot of the southdowns, I believed for years that the sheep had 2 legs shorter than the others, an evolutionary step for hill sheep!!!

I used to think elephants had six legs. I think this is because I saw a picture of a group of (cartoon) elephants who were standing close to each other and this gave the impression that one or more of them had six legs!(??!!)

When I was walking along the neighborhood one day I came across a cat who meowed very loudly and consistently and kept rolling around on the grass. Since it was a female cat (I checked), I jumped to the conclusion of "poor cat, she's in pain because she needs to mate with a boy cat!" I actually carried her around for the rest of the day looking for a boy cat for her to mate with so she wouldn't be in not-mating-pain. But it was probably just one of those loud cats. Anyway, I felt sorry for her because she wouldn't be mating with anyone that day.

My first pet was a goldfish. I was so proud of my goldfish and would take it out of the water to show it to my little friends. Also, I thought it would want to play with me. I think it died after a week.

When I was younger playing in the yard, I saw a butterfly, but I didn't know what it was. I told my mom that there were flutterbys outside, because they fluttered bye... I still call them that.

I used to think that the easter bunny was hiding behind my stuffed rabbits!

My older cousin (actually my father's first cousin) is a hunter, and once when he was on a hunting trip, he shot this gigantic bear and had it stuffed and put in the reception area at his business. When my father and I came to visit him at work for the first time after it was delivered, I was very small at the time, and was naturally quite frightened of the bear. My cousin noticed this, and for some reason thought he would make it better by telling me the bear came alive when everyone left for the evening, and for years I kept visualizing the bear lumbering around his business in the dark (which would have been chaotic, since he owns a cattle breeding operation). I've since grown up and that bear still scares me. He also used to tell me there were mountain lions at the creek by my house. I think he liked to scare me.

no longer paranoid about large animals

I used to think guerrillas were the same as gorillas. Imagine how scared I was when I saw Planet of the apes as a kid.

I thought deer only came out at hunting time. The deer that were left pack up the kids in the Rv and when back home.Then one day in the summer time as we were driving home. In a field there were a pack of deer I said to my Dad what are those deer doing back its not November yet? He had a good laugh and said they live hear year around.

I used to believe cows grew from seeds. My dad told me this when I was 2, and I believed it til I was like 4 or 5.

I had a great theory when I was younger...

1. Squirrels are evil.
2. They are trying to kill all of the humans so they could gain world domination.
3. Different colored squirrels have different rankings in their cult. (Grey squirrels are the lowest, then black, red, flying, and albino on the top.)
4. The little lizards down in Florida (the ones that lose their tails) are in on it too.
5. Sasquatch may have a small part.

When I was a child I would eat sugar with milk in powder , I would open the closet and taked my favorite books, but the closed had key and I would open with tricks.I used to read all the time my Harry Potter books and my mother hid my books because I would read again and again this books. When she gave me my Lord Of The Rings book, again she hid that book. . I didn’t use to understand why people were not inside of the TV when I would open the TV and yes I was very curious when I was a child.I remember that when I would play wuith my cousin Robinson he used to hit me whith his ball also I remember that I would go at cousin’s house we would play football soccer in the videogame Pro Evolution Soccer of playstation all the time.

My uncle Bruce always told me that Welsh sheep can stand straight on steep hills because they have two legs shorter than the others.
I'm sure it must have been high school biology lessons when the truth hit me...!!!
