My Dad told me that the sheep in Wales (a mountainous country to the west of England for those that don't know)(!) had evolved shorter front legs and longer back legs than sheep from the lowland areas. This was to enable them to keep their stomachs level whilst grazing on the mountain sides... I believed this for rather a long time!

My parents said athletes foot was caused by being wet.

I believed them.

I figured the tropical fish must be in agony. I found the Desenex and cured them. I figured a couple shakes a fish.

My parents were a little upset when they found them.

When I was in kindergarten, my best friend told me all about dinosaurs. Well, I couldn't sleep that night. I thought dinosaurs were still alive and would stomp on my house!

I used to believe that if I lay on my stomach on top of my bed covers dinosaurs would come out of the walls (without breaking them) and literally kick my butt.

As a kid, I was given a book in which I first read of the unusual egg-laying mammal of Australia, the duck-billed platypus. Funny thing was, I was sure I'd heard the word "platyous" before and envisioned that a usual platypus was some kind of much larger animal, and probably a more usual mammal (perhaps a placental mammal, although I didn't know that term at the time). A usual platypus, so I had an idea, was probably close to as big as an elephant, or at least as big as a hippopotamus. So, I assumed that the name "duck-billed platypus" was given to distinguish that small and unusual egg-laying mammal from a more more usual and larger platypus. But gradually I learned that the duck-billed platypus is in fact the only kind of platypus that there is, something I still have to consciously remind myself of on hearing the word "platypus". And it is still quite a mystery just how my mind concocted that belief in a much larger "usual" platypus.

I remember eating clams on the half shell in this one restaurant. Every time we went there, I would order the clams. One time my sister whispered to me, while my parents we talking. She said "Norma, did you know that the clam is alive until you pull it off the shell with your fork?".

Enough said.

My mom told me that when I was child I used to believe that my Barbies could sleep at night so I used to take them to bed.

I used to think that all gazelles were female, simply because it sounded like a female's name(like Giselle)

When I was little I wouldn't give up my pacifier. My mom told me that the baby bunnies that lived in the backyard didnt have a boo (thats what I called it at the time) so i told her that I'd let them use it during the day and they could give it back at night. I believed that's what was happening! Later on, I asked why Bugs Bunny had such big teeth that stuck out. "Because he kept his boo for so long" she said. I took it out of my mouth and never used it again!

My PawPaw told me fish couldn't feel it when he was dressing them to it becuase they didn't have feelings. I believed it until at 30 my husband said PawPaw just knew I was sensitive. I still believe.
