When I was young, I was told about the whole immaculate conception thing. Later on, when my fifth grade teacher told the girl next to me that she had a misconception, I honestly thought that it meant she tried to have a baby but it didn't work. For the rest of the year, I thought (and told all of my friends) that poor kid had a miscarriage.
