What were some misconceptions you had about the world when you were a child?

[old timey villain]

I got a lot of these:

I thought people on TV actually lived in the box

I thought Bill Clinton's first name was "President" since people on the news called him President Clinton

I thought a robe was called a "robon" because my mom would always tell me to "get my robe on" after I took a bath

I was convinced my mom was best friends with Rosie O'Donnell for a long time. No idea why.

I thought I was the only person in the world who farted and I thought that every time I did it green bubbles would come out but they popped inside my clothes so I could never see them.
