I used to think that a "mafia" and a "gang" were the same thing except for what gender made up each one: A mafia being for girls, and a gang being for boys. Since the word "mafia" sounds like a girls' name, while the word "gang" sounds less feminine and therefore more like a boy's name, this belief made perfect sense to me and i believed it until middle school.
I thought the reason people took illegal drugs is because they tasted so good. I had no idea it had anything to do with getting high.

I used to think that it was illegal to carry a very large sum of cash on your person unless you're on the way to the bank.

I had a drug prevention coloring book. I ate snow at the time and wondered if snow was a drug. I was very paranoid about this.

When I was little, i thought a "loan shark" was a literal shark. I remember hearing my parents talking about loan sharks and thought they were going to get bitten by a shark if they didn't pay any money.
