I used to believe blue crabs, stickers(sand spurs), and barnicles were all made by the devil.

I grew up on a river and as a little boy, played in the empty lot next door and down by the river. Of course the 3 things that hurt me way back then were blue crabs, sand spurs, and barnicles.

When i was younger, i used to believe haggis was a real creature. i was told by my step-grandad, that haggis had one leg bigger than the other so that they could run along hills faster. They were red and hairy... it took me until i was twelve to find out... being a veggie didn't help! Whoops!

my cousin told me that when roosters went cock a doodle he was mating another hen so he was having an orgasm. so when we went to stay in cornwall for a holiday i was in hysterics whenever i heard the noise

I used to believe that if I didn't wash my hands after touching an animal, I'd turn into the animal that I had touched.

When I was about 4 my mum bourght me a white pony and she told me it was a unicorn. I believed her until I was about 11 when I had an aurgument with this other girl about unicorns exsistence.

When i was younger i thought squirrels were filling the attic with acorns because the ceiling in my bedroom was severely cracked and I could always see squirrels enter through a crack outside with a couple of acorns and exit empty-mouthed. I thought that one night my ceiling would collapse from the weight of the acorns and I would be killed. ; ;

When I was a kid, I was always afraid of walking under trees b/c I thought that snakes would fall down on top of my head. My mom told me that I should not worry b/c snakes in Texas could not climb trees, only snakes in Africa. I believed this until I was 16 and tried to explain it to a friend of mine. Needless to say, I am now aware that all snakes can climb trees!

I used to beleive that animal was another word for a prostitute. I thought this as when I was young I whatched this TV programme on which a man said 'This animal is fisty' when he was eyeing up a prostitute.

when I was little, driving around with my parents, if we smelled skunk, my mom would tell me that the skunks were scared, that's why they sprayed their smell. I believed that for so long, till I was around 12 or 13 and I repeated it to my mom and she laughed at me. little skunks, sitting scared on the side of the road...

When My brother was 4 or 5 I convinced him that alagators lived in our garbage cans, so he never threw anything away, he would just hide it in the refregerator!!

I used to believe (when I was a 5 yr. old little girl) that if my bedroom door was open a big panda bear was going to come padding up the stairs and into my room and maul me to death. Little girls are SUPPOSED to think pandas are cute and adorable, not I, not I.

For some reason I used to believe that they weren't REAL cows unless they were black and white dairy cows. I have no idea what I thought the other cows were but I know I didn't classify them as proper cows.

i used to believe that everytime a dog's shivers or does a shake like when they come out of the sea, a kitten is still born. and when rice-crispies stop craclking you have to leave them or else you loose your hands. and whenever you stand on a squaeky floorbaord upstairs in a building it would be bad luck not to lift them up and kick through the ceiling with the intention of emptying the contents of your wallet onto the people below.

When I was younger, I had a pet ant named Anty.(oringinal, huh?) Anyway, I went through, like, eight Antys. This was because, I believed everytime one died (my family stepped on him) he'd be reborn in to a new Anty. ... Wow. I had a reincarnating ant.

When I was little, before I learned animals even. My dad told me the black and white things in the fields were called moo dogs. I believed that until I was about 4.

When I was little we had a dog and I knew that feeding it chocolate was bad. I thought that even a little bit would kill her so when she found a hershey kiss and ate it I was convinced that she was going to die. Needless to say, she didn't.

Once, when I was only 3, Mom put a great breakfast on the table but it started to smell really bad...Dad announced very ominously that there was a skunk in the courtyard and that we children were to STAY IN THE HOUSE! Dad then went outside and tracked that skunk to the pumphouse, later coming in to say the skunk was dead. Being I didn't understand what dead meant, I always expected that "dead" skunk to come back and GET ME & I no longer wanted to play outside by myself. That unreasonable fear of skunks stayed with me well into middle-age. Childhood experience must be stronger than common sense!
