I used to think that Horoscopes were actually Horror-scopes, and I never wanted to read mine because I didn't want to know what horrors I would be encountering in the near future.

I used to think that 'awesome' was spelled 'awesmne' and I was proud of myself because I thought that I was the only one to ever spell it right.....

When I taught preschool, I had a class of four year olds, and we were talking about rhyming words. I was asking what words rhyme with truck. I got words like duck, luck, etc. One girl said f**k. It was so innocent, though, I just think she was putting the sounds together. I don't think she knew it was a bad word.
Another girl in the same class, drew a picture on the back of her 1 paper, she was supposed to draw a picture of 1 thing. I asked her what it was and she said it was a bitch. It took me a long time to figure out she was saying fish, I guess she just couldn't quite form the word right.

When i was about 4 i was on a boat in a childrens play room and there was a a girl there talking french. I tryed copying what i thought she was doing, talking giberish once i was done she slaped me. I have a feeling i actualy said something, but it wasnt very nice though.

I used to believe that the only types of math problems that existed were addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

I used to believe that all numbers and letters had gender, ACGKNPQRSZ were female and the rest male. Girls could only have names that started with those letters and someone named Barbara or somethign just had parenst that messed up

Not so much an "I used to believe" but...

When I was in 2nd or 3rd Grade, my parents made sure I knew my multiplication tables up to 12x12 (or I wouldn't get to go out and play). We hadn't yet been taught this in school, but I darn well made sure I had them memorised, as summer was soon coming around.

One day on the playground, I ended up in a fistfight with another classmate, as we got into an argument about 2x2. His stance was: "There is NO way 2x2 can equal 4, as 2+2 equals 4. Multiplication is different than addition, so you are lying!"

I'm not sure how it escalated to blows, but needless to say, the Assistant Principle could barely contain her mirth after we were pulled into her office.

I heard someone use the word "slut" and I thought that was a really cool nickname. I called just about everyone I knew a slut until I finnally called my mother a slut. Then she filled me in on the real meaning. :)

When I was little (about 5 or so) we were all comparing our packed lunches in the dining hall. Somebody asked me how many sandwiches I had and I said two, and stuck up my index and middle finger (in the UK this is rather rude). OPne of the older kids reported me to the dinner ladie for swearing, and I had to stand at the naughty wall all lunchtime.

I hadn't even heard of swearing at the time and was really upset because I had no idea what I'd done.

My cousin used to think that the lowest number in existence was negative zero. He knew that negative numbers were all lower than positive ones, but he wouldn't believe me when I told him they were in reverse order.

In Kindergarten, my teacher said she was "tired of all this tattle tale crap" and my jaw dropped because I thought crap was as bad as saying any swear word... I told my parents and they laughed.
