Like I thought LMNOP was a letter of the alphabet because I would always say it too fastand when the vaccuum was turned on I thought we were being robbed.
That's all from the top of my head I'll try to remember more.

That nurses were female doctors...
That Japanese Promo Pokémon Cards wouldn't come out in English.
There was a chocolate factory beyond the woods behind my house...
Red lights mean you had to stop regardless (as in no right turn on red.)
Yield meant the opposite of a "Do Not Enter" sign
That Yaoi and Hentai were people...
goddamn, I was a dumbass when I was younger....

And I believed that when you got married, you automatically had children.

Before you peg me as a racist, let me explain. When I was 5 or 6, I saw an older black person with a skin disorder which had sections of their arms losing pigmentation, leaving white skin. I think I even told my parents my "scientific" findings and they BOTH looked at me like I was crazy.

I was always afraid to walk around my house at night because I thought a velociraptor might be lurking around the corner ready to pounce on me.
One night I watched the movie 'Volcano' and thought a volcano might spring up on the hill near the village I live in.
One night I thought a tree outside my window was an Allosaurus.

-I accidently called this Hotel place (Dai'ichi hotel) to get my bedroom.
-When I first played Street Fighter II Turbo for the SUPER NINTENDO, I thought Vega (Guy with the claws) was the LADY PERSON (I used to called that) and I got scared and ran to my mom.

All right, that's all know. (Now start laughing)

When I was 5 yrs. I thought the vacuum was a monster and would suck me up.
I did too. As a little kid I had a morbid fear of the vacume noise and would run and hide under the table (I always hid under tables when I was scared for some reason) when ever my mom brought it out. One time waiting in a doctors office, I found a Parents magazine with an artical about helping with childhood fears and thought it might explane something about the evil vacume. Inside the book I see a cartoon on a little girl running from an evil fire-breathing vacume with big razor teeth and devil eyes and instantly think that the vacume really was a monster that breathed fire and ate little children.
I used to be afraid the Incredible Hulk was going to come crashing through the big window in my sister and me's bedroom. I was also scared that one night Jason would come through the window with a chiansaw....well that was before I saw Friday The 13th. After seeing it when I was a little older, I felt better that Camp Crystal Lake was in Illinois, but then got scared that there might be a flood there and Jason would get washed down the rivers and end up in the creek behind my house...and then find a ladder and come through the window with a chainsaw!
I had some issues with that window, the hulk and logic as a kid.

Before I was nine, I believed all ambulance drivers either couldn't spell or needed glasses, because of the backwards spelling on the front of the ambulance.
I thought lunch ladies stayed in their kitchens cooking all day and night, and that during the summer they cleaned all the dirty dishes and utensils for the coming school year.
Until I was six/seven, since I live in New York City I thought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actually lived in the sewers. Whenever I went downtown with my family, I'd randomly say "Hi Ninja Turtles!" into sewer grates and manholes.

Nah, you really can be whatever you want to be... within reason. I mean, not everyone can be a mecha pilot, a starship captain or a cyborg, but there's still quite a few suitable options out there.

Again, says you. If I want to pilot a robot, I'll damn well make my own mecha. And then you guys will be so jealous.

Same here D:
Well, really only because my parents didn't really tell me anything about relationships at that stage so I just got the "MEN LIKE WOMEN K :D" message from observation and such, so when I first saw a pic or something of homosexuals in like...a magazine or something I stared blinking for like a full 20 minutes all "WAIT I'M CONFUSED IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE POSSIBLE? o.o" So I thought it was odd and wrong when I was real little...but I think that most young children find it odd unless they've been raised to be used to it because they haven't been exposed to it so they don't understand it.
ANYWAY. Rambing unintentional :'D
Thought nurses were female doctors.
Thought that everybody in the world had the same belief system as me >>; Naivety is fun kids.
I recall mistaking a fantasy novel for nonfiction because the author had one of those "THIS IS A TRUE STORY :'D" notes in the back >>
Thought there were aliens in my closet. Kept it shut at night for several years, if I recall >>
Thought that a poem's worth was directly proportionate to the amount of pretty adjectives.
Thought that it was totally necessary to tell everyone what color the grass was when I was writing :'D (oh em gee it's GREEN can you believe it? :OOOOO)
Thought that tantrums were a solution to 100% of problems.
Thought that my family was perfect and thus it was wrong that I wasn't.
When I was 4 I thought that I would learn shiz in kindergarten :'D (All I did was forget my multiplication tables due to the lack of any sort of mental stimulation ><;)
And I don't remember much else, but if it tells you anything about what my other misconceptions must have been like, I believed in Santa up until like 4th-5th grade :'D (I still think he's real hush)

You could, you have just got to realize what you really want to be at a young age, have motivation and determination, and then you can be whatever you want to. ^^

I thought my toys were alive.
I thought sex was just two people lying in bed naked. O_o
I thought lightning bug's asses were lightbulbs.
I thought there were monsters in the car wash. XD
I thought all the things live action movies really happened.
I thought my grandma's house smelled weird when the news was on. I know, WTF?
I thought snapping you're fingers was just clicking you're fingernails.

Heh, and I thought it was two people rubbing their genitals together while panting heavily. Er, without the penetration, that is. And I thought it was some evil, forbidden thing, because I remember watching Jerry Springer as a nipper and seeing these guys get really pissed because "he had sex with my wife!!"
Nah, I didn't understand the concept of adultery much, either. I thought you could have a girlfriend/boyfriend as well as a wife/husband. XD
Ooh, that reminds me of an interesting story. I should tell it sometime... But not now.

I belived in pretty much every urban legend I heard. But then my mom also belived in the 'snakes in the ballpit at BK/McDonalds' one so I thought they had to be true if an adult thought so too.

I thought everything was sentient and kept quiet about it. Sometimes I'd try to sneak up on my dolls having a party under my bed at night, and think of how good they must've been to hide it so well!
I also thought cussing was one of the worst things you could do, and, that if you started using a few swears here and there, that it quickly and uncontrollably snowballed into a life of cussing and general delinquency.
I thought anyone could use magic, but that no one these days was dedicated enough to bring out such potential. Sometimes I'd try to move something with my mind or turn into a cat, and I'd concentrate on it reeeeaaaaal hard, to no avail.
I thought that a woman got pregnant because she and her husband loved each other very much, and eventually, that love just kinda materialized a baby in her stomach.
I hated watching or reading anything horror (even Goosebumps) because then I'd believe in those stories and go to sleep scared that whatever monster was after me. I also believed in all those ghost stories friends would come up with. My least favorite was the one about the ghost dog that killed people in their sleep, because it sounded so scary and everyone around me seemed to love telling that one again and again...
So, since I was little, I would pull up my blanket all the way over my head, and hope that, because the monster would see a human-shaped lump of blanket on the bed instead of an actual human, they would walk away and leave me alone. I still pull my blanket way up high nowadays. It just isn't comfortable for me to sleep any other way 
Hm... s'all I can think of at the moment...

Everytime I played Mario Party and the computer player owned me I would go to the monitor and start yelling at it.
I thought babies were made when a woman eats so much food the food starts to be like k'nex and form specific body parts.
I thought "stupid" was the worst swear you could possibly ever say.
I thought MP3 players were overated.
I thought I and a select few actually new of video gaming.
I'm sure there's more...

HEhehe. No, it wasn't Michael Jackson. When this incident happened, Michael Jackson was still cool as hell and not a creepy old man like he is now. I think I was at some kind of precursor to Chuckie Cheese's and I saw a person who looked like that.
