When I was about 3, I was watching Sesame Street; part of it must have been about lions. They showed the lions hunting their prey, and I was appalled.

"Mommy," I said, "lions are mean." When asked why, I responded, "because they eat other animals!"

"Well honey," said my mom, "we eat chicken, and beef which comes from cows."

"Yeah, but... they're not REAL chickens and cows... right?"

...she just laughed and laughed. And no, the awful realization didn't make me become vegetarian... but it was a rather rude awakening!

One time when I was small, I saw a movie where a couple was kissing. It obviously cut out the sex part since it was a PG movie. The movie jumped to 9 months later and, viola, a baby was born. From this, I thought babies were made if a guy and a girl swapped spit. I told my friends that and for about a week, the girls would keep their mouths shut around the boys so that the boys wouldn't spit in them.

Most kids have their own version of a teddy bear or blankie. Well mine was a pillow and I believe it was my best friend. I would look away while feeding my pillow because I thought it was afraid I knew it was really alive.

A child's imagination is endless!

my brother used to believe that, whenever it was raining, that he should go out and stand in the rain, in order to grow.

As in... like plants.

seriously :P

I once saw the balance slip of my parents bank account. Each time, my dad would take out $100 each week. I knew how to do division and realised that at this rate, we couldn't possibly survive! I didn't know that they would get paid and more money would be deposited.
