A childhood belief about speaking

I used to think that there was such a thing as baa lambs,I only found out they were sheep when I was publicly humiliated by the teacher aged 8.My second astonishingly wrong belief was that we had neck curtains at our windows, not net curtains. This belief was only corrected when I was about 12. That there was such a thing as Ringing Carnation, I later discovered the word was actually Reincarnation! Parent's who'd have them?
