When I was a child, I believed that years before my birth, the whole world was black and white. Until NASA launched a satellite that brought color too the whole world. I believed this until I was about 9 or 10.
I also had the same explanation for gravity. I used to ask my mom how grandma used to take a bath when the water was floating all over the place. She used to respond with remarks like " Oh Willie, youre the only one who gets water everywhere when they take a bath."
