I used to think that, when playing a game with AI, that the developers actually employed people to play the game with you, specifically, which is why they all had the same names in-game each time.

I had this notion that running and falling and scraping your knee was something every kid did once and never again, like the chickenpox.
also, I thought that tonsilitus meant you had a tornado in your throat, the swedish name for it kind of sounds like tornado

and what did your significant other say about your attempt at some comatose action?
I was once watching a certain James Bond film with my dad. It had just reached a point in the movie where James Bond swapped his wallet with somone he had just killed to make a third party think he was dead.
At this point I noticed the actor of Mr. Bond was different to what I was used to and said to my dad,
"That's not James Bond."
To which he responded,
"No, they swapped wallets."
I spent the next 5 or so years believing that you could swap lives with somebody, simply by swapping wallets with them.

I thought Jesus was a really poor bloke who still managed to get a lot done in the few months between christmas and easter he lived...

I used to think that urinals were weird sinks. I never washed my hands in a urinal though, because I didn't wash my hands when I was that age (I know better now, honest).
I also thought that all the dinosaurs lived underground. I was kinda right.
And finally, I thought that if I didn't sleep with the covers all the way up or if I put my arm or leg above them that a bunch of guys with hoods would know I was awake and kill me. I still don't like going above the covers to this day.

Whne I was very young, I believed that each of my friends and their families lived on a different planet. That was way back when my total view of the world was slightly limited, so i thought this person had their house on the moon, while this other person had their house on Mars etcetc.
That wouldn't explain how one was able to travel to these peoples houses so quickly, mind.
That and the thing someone else mentioned about not getting changed in front of the tv, in case the people on tv were able to see you getting changed.

I used to think when moon was visible during the day that it was a counterpart for earth, i thought that there were cities and oceans up there people looking at us, it was a sad day when i was told that it was the same moon that i saw during the night.
I remember drinking a cup of apple juice when I was 3 or 4, and noticing how the liquid had just literally disappeared when I finished. I then began to wonder why anyone would ever drown if they could just drink whatever they were swimming in.
I was convinced that there was a monster who'd come up and try and grab me when I flushed the toilet (I think maybe I thought the flushing noise was the monster roaring or something?) so once I flushed I'd flee down the stairs to cower in the living room for a bit.
Also, although I had a vague understanding that babies came from physical intimacy between a male and a female, when a little boy put his hand down my knickers when I was five I went crying to the teacher because I was scared that he made me pregnant.
I was generally fairly clued up, though, my mum would set me straight on most things, wouldn't try to tell me that Father Christmas existed or whatever. She got really angry when a teacher told me that the rumbling in my tummy was little soldiers marching up and down inside me when I was four.
I didn't think the black and white thing was so common, I thought it was just a Calvin and Hobbes joke! http://www.reoiv.com/images/random/dadbandwandcolour.jpg

Well one of my childhood thoughts was from when I was very young, about three I think. I basically thought that if I got water on my hearing aids, I would die (if I was wearing them). I mean I had to take them out anyway, or else they'd be ruined. This was disproved when I dived into a swimming pool, forgetting to take them out. I did however manage to convince everyone that this was true. Another thing was that I'd run around the house jumping on chairs and the table if I ate a banana. I think this was because people referred to me as a cheeky monkey. Maybe I though I really was a hairless chimp.
I thought if I turned my back a giant spider would jump up and attach itself to my back. I got the idea from watching a Doctor Who episode Planet of the Spiders (where just that happens). The consequences were that whenever I took a piss standing up in the toilet, I had to leave the door open and keep looking over my shoulder.
I also feared the blob would come under a crack in the door and swallow me so I sat in the middle of rooms whenever I could.
Most of my childhood assumptions were linked to self-preservation.

I remember always hating long car rides and wondered why the government didn't just build long glass tubes (sorta like those from Futurama) to take us from city to city.
I thought I wanted marriage and kids.
Hah, nope!
I also wanted to be a secret agent. How fucking dangerous that is, I never considered.

I used to believe that if I didn't get out of the bathroom after flushing the toilet, before the gurgling sound of water flowing into the cistern sounded, that a Tornado would rise up from the toilet and suck me into it.
I look back at this and just sort of go "wtf"
I also thought that if I looked at lightning striking out of the window, that the Lightning would rebound, come through the window and hit me. Every time there was a storm I'd be terrified and either run into a room without windows if there weren't any windows in my way, or position myself behind a sofa or such so I wasn't in view of a Window.
And that thing that the speaker on a Gameboy Colour was a Microphone, and I could catch Pokemon easier by talking into it. This actually went around my school and a lot of people believed it.

For the most part as a child my mind was heavily grounded in reality except-
I thought that if I became a scientist I could one day invent an elixir that would mutant me into a raptor.
I thought my mother was poisoning my food and later my aunt after moving in with her, this was a result of a not so pleasant childhood.
And
After my cousin was told he could be anything when he grew up, he thought he'd grow up into a fire truck.
