I had to explain to my brother that Lassie is a girl and Bambi is a boy. Blew his mind.

I thought they were both boys...

The clue for Lassie is in the name

Up until I was 19 I had no idea that you could only get female cows

You can get bullocks, which are baby boy cows with their bits cut off. Half of the black and white cows you see about will be these.

That sheep dont have wonky legs to balance on hills. I had to explain that to DH when he was 21 as his Dad had told him when he was little they were.

That you dont get a new birth certificate when you get married. I asked that when I got engaged at seventeen

Our kids dont stand a chance

When I was little I always used to think a backwash (when you have a drink and spit it back in the cup) was actually called a batwash and that a tiny little bat had a bath in your drink so you don't drink it.

omg i just had to look this up. I also had no idea that Egypt was in Africa, i still cant get my head around that one.


Well dont no if this comes under common sense but i seriously thought when my mum said ' dont make that face, if the wind changes it will stick like that' .... i just assumed this was true until like last year and im 24!

As a child (ummm 5) my brother had long hair, i asked him why he didnt cut it, he told me hed bleed to death. I believed him and didnt hsve mine cut for about 7 years


We had 2 jugs. 1 was a litre and other 2 litre. Making jelly (or something) 1 day i asked a mate to get me a pint of water, she asked if i wanted a big pint or a little pint - that was 8 years ago and we've still not let it go

My Dad told me that Haggis' had wonky legs so they could run round the tops of Mountains...I remember telling my Teacher at School (She was Scottish) when I was about 7 years old.

When we were young and my parents took us to the beach we would write our ages in the sand so my name and 6 my Bros name and 4 and dad age 21, I honestly thought he was 21 (he was far from 21!)
What's worse was next year at the beach he would still write 21 and I still thought he was 21.
He laughed so hard when I told him that!
