I was under 5 years old when I learned that lava (VOLCANO LAVA) was actually really hot, molten rock.
I remember looking out my window and feeling REALLY scared because there was a big rock in the yard RIGHT BY MY ROOM! I always used to imagine it one day bubbling up or exploding, with the hot lava coming to get me in my sleep or something...
