I used to think that paying someone's bail means you pay to get them out of prison forever. Like even if you were sentenced to life in prison you could buy your way out.

This is quite similar to the belief about gunpoint being a physical place, but when I first heard about certain items being sold "on the black market" on the news one day, I believed that the black market was an actual place. I imagined it to be a famous and popular marketplace somewhere in the world, just like any other market in a big city. When I found out that it was used to sell many illegal items I asked my mother why the police didn't just go there and shut it down, since everyone knew which city it was in.

I thought you could get banned from checking out books in a library if you accidently rip a page. Whenever I'd rip a page accidently, I would be scared when we had to return them, thinking I will never be allowed to check a book out again. Luckily that didn't happen!

I used to believe the UK wasn't really free. I always heard that the US was special because it was a "free country", and learning about the American Revolution confused me as well, so I assumed the UK still wasn't "free"

I used to believe the world was a horrible place full of selfish people, hypocrites, liars and murderers. Now I know the world is only like that if you look at it that way.
