When I was younger I saw an ad on the TV warning against drinking and driving. For a while, I thought that "drink-driving" meant drinking alchohol while driving.

When I was really young, I used to believe that the Speed Limit was actually called the Speed Lemon and I just thought that there was a lemon in the road that you couldn't drive across.

When I was little, my mom told me it was illegal and dangerous to drink and drive. I believed that drinks included juice boxes so every time I was in the car drinking my juice box and a police car passed, i lowered my juice box so the police wouldn't see.

When i was a kid the D.A.R.E. officers came to my school and were telling us all about drugs, and when the cop got to the part about how dealers often give you free samples to get you hooked, I raised my hand and told him I knew that was wrong, because my parents were always complaining about how much pot costs these days...so yeah, the cops came by the house that night, luckily my folks were fresh out, apparently they had just put out their last joint. I had no idea pot was illegal until that night.

My sister used to tell me the FBI warning at the beginning of movies meant that I couldn't get up at any time during the film. She kept this up until I was 11. I still don't get up as a force of habit now.
James
I am 27. When I was 17 or 18, my now Father-In-Law convinced me that seeds from marijuana could be popped in the mircowave to make "pot-corn". I tried it and found out otherwise.
D.W.C.
i used to believe that when i saw the signs "Speed Limit Radar Enforced" it meant that, at the police station there was a cop looking at a really big radar screen of the city, with blinking lights for each car and could tell which ones where speeding and would then use the radio to call someone out to stop you.
Bigdaddy
When I was a little girl, about 5 years old, I believed drinking any beverage in the car was illegal. If we would get into the car and my dad would bring a Coca Cola or something, I would ride in silent fear that the police would get us because my dad was "drinking and driving".
When I was little I used to live in an apartment in a bad neighborhood. One time on the news, there was an alert issued for two kids that had been kidnapped and had been driven off in an unverified vehicle.
I guess it kind of scarred me because I started to sleep in bed with my parents, and I put the blanket over my head when I slept, so if any bad guys climbed up to the window, they wouldn't see any kids to kidnap.
I don't believe bad guys will steal me away in the night anymore, and I don't sleep in bed with my parents anymore, but I'm so used to sleeping with the blanket over my head I still do it!
When I was in elementary school, my mom would always complain about the large amount of cops on the roads at the end of the month. She always said that they were "getting their quota in"....I thought she was saying "quarter" and for the longest time I thought cops got paid a quarter for every person they pulled over.
