plants

I used to believe cotton fields were really marshmallow fields because thats what my brothers told me. i always wanted to go run through them but my dad said that if i did the stuff they pray on them would get on me and i would turn into a marshmallow.

I can't remember where I picked this one up, but since I was little I've called dandeliion seeds fairies.

if you swallowed grape seeds, then, after you died, your next life would be like a vine plant growing into vineyards with grapes.

one of my first memories is of my mom pointing out poision ivy to me and telling me to stay away from it. I kept looking where she was pointing, but couldn't see it - I was looking for an animal of some kind, not a plant.

I used to watch 'Day Of The Triffids' when I was a child and feared that certain large plants would chase me and kill me.

When I was about 2 years old, we lived in a different house. When we passed up a group of pine trees surrounding the road on the way to the elementary school, I thought the trees were dinosaurs. Because of that, I screamed "THE DINOSAURS ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!! THE DINOSAURS ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!!"

i DON'T LIKE DINOSAURS!!!!!!

when i was small i used to believe that if u burry ur fallen teeth then only teeth will grow again & that's not all. i also used to believe that a plant will grow there giving teeth instead of fruits!!

When I was little, everything was alive (and to a certain extent, sentient): trees, all animals, of course; plants. This meant I needed to be gentle to living things as much as possible, and even if I had to kill something (cockroaches. Ticks. Mosquitos. Weeds.) that I'd do it with some degree of, I guess you'd have to call it consideration. Even inanimate things were alive. The universe was alive.

This is still true. It certainly does make life more interesting, fun, and at times, glorious, if everything around you can enjoy being there, too.

I have a very good memory.
I hardly ever put things that weren't supposed to be eaten in my mouth. My mum agrees with this. But once i ate some kind of 'succulent' plant, and threw up for three days straight. I remember still why i did it, and only when i told my mum why i did it about 4 years ago (when i was 14) did i realise how weird my reason was. I was pretending these round leaves were money.

that ain't money!

Once I learned that plants "breathed" carbon dioxide and "exhaled" oxygen, which is the opposite of what us humans do, I remember sitting in front of one of our house plants for hours trying to time my breathing to be opposite of what I thought the plant was breathing, so we would just be helping each other out.

I used to believe that plants used to speak and that if I listened very carefully, I could hear what they were saying.

I used to believe that the plants in the park that looked like little tomatoes really were.

I used to believe that the bright yellow flowers, sometimes called buttercups, were actually where butter came from.

i ate one once and that learned me real fast!
