Bash: cd producing "ls"-like output upon execution

[Eclair_de_XII]

TL;DR Summary

I was fooling around in the command-line just now. I switched to my Documents folder. Then suddenly, the contents of aforementioned folder got displayed on the terminal. Specifically, all the directories got displayed, but oddly enough, not the one text file I had on there.

I have screenshots, but I'm not willing to share the contents of my Documents folder in a public forum. Is anyone willing to assist me? Additionally, I have "cd" aliased to "HOME=~/Desktop cd" in my ~/.bash_aliases file, if that helps. I might have also had two terminal emulator tabs open while this happened; one tab contained an "ls" alias, and the other had the "cd" command.

The command alias -p will list the current aliases.
