I used to believe

when i was younger i overheard my parents talk about the CIA and since we spoke Spanish, when they said CIA it sounded like the word "silla" (which means chair in English). so for a long time i thought that there was this great big huge wooden chair that only very powerfull people used to sit in.

When I first learned about French, I thought that every word in English would be the same in Freanch, except 'le' or 'la' would be in front.

Not long after my discovery, I met a girl named Larissa. I had never heard such a funny name before and assumed that it was French (it's actually Russian). That night I looked in my dictionary and found that Rissa means 'the genus Laridae'.

Genus is a species, and Laridae is the scientific name for 'gull' as in the kind of bird.

From then on I thought that my friend turned into a seagull every night and would turn back into a little girl in the morning so she could go to school.

She spent the next week driving to area restaurants trying to compensate the wait staffs that had been stiffed!

When I was young, I really used to believe that 'R.I.P.' (on a gravestone) meant 'Return If Possible.

а про косоглазого медведа вообще улет

friend's aunt was quite unsure why during the holy mass she had to sing a song about a cross-eyed bear called gladly. years later she found out that she was supposed to be ready to support jesus by confirming "gladly, the cross i'd bear"
