My Seminary teacher had this happen to him. He loved to tell us this story. When he was in high school, a girl who liked him asked him about it and he had bumps for some reason or another in the general area where horns would be. She also asked him if their children would have them too if they were to have children.
My seventh grade Spanish teacher grew up in a town with no Latter-day Saints (surprisingly in rural Idaho), and had been taught that "Mormons have horns." When she grew up and came to our town to teach (also in Idaho), she was very surprised to learn that her LDS students did not have horns. This was in the late 60s. I still laugh about the look on her face when she discovered that the old myth was not true.
Since 2009, I've posted silly little gags to this website twice a week. My work has been featured in the New Era, For the Strength of the Youth, and The Friend (for some reason, I have yet to crack the Liahona). Between 2014 and 2016, my comic strip Mission Daze was featured in the Deseret News (back when newspapers were still a thing). I've published a plethora of activity books (links for which you can find on this page). Please stay a while and enjoy.
