I used to think a car direction indicator was a GPS guiding system, and not manually operated.
That a bon fire was a “bomb” fire and therefore, very loud and very dangerous.
For anyone wondering
bonfire (n.)

late 14c., bonfir, banefire, “a fire in which bones are burned;” see bone (n.) + fire (n.). The original specific sense became obsolete and was forgotten by 18c. The general sense of “large open-air fire from any material for public amusement or celebration” is by mid-16c. and that of “large fire for any purpose” from 17c. also from late 14c.
I used to call it a “bomb fire” too lol.
One of my brothers was friends with a pair of twins named Eric and Ryan, but I thought that they were a single entity that somehow had two bodies known as American Ryan
Russ and Oli Gark must have a hard time fitting in
The semaphore homunculus lived in the stop lights at intersections.
In my Superman onesie (w/ cape), I could fly, but was never brave enough to launch from a high enough step on the stairs. I knew I was flying, but…

*By movies & books & games and shit, not by teachers. Well, maybe some teachers…
Freddy Krueger was two people. I thought it was like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. I thought it was Dr. Krueger and Freddy was the monster he created. When I saw the movie I was like where’s his creator, the one that brought him to life?
When I was a young lad I thought milk was cow pee and was super confused by the world.
Cthulhu is a Hindu god
Not me but really funny - when my mom was little she thought white people weren’t real. She thought they were made up for tv
That every time people had sex, the woman became pregnant. I thought that every sex scene in a film meant the film had to be stopped for 9 months until the actress could give birth.
that you’re supposed to show a middle finger as if you were showing it to yourself
When my daughter was about 1.5 she would wave like that, waving so she could see her hand correctly.
Not long after that she’d dismiss people she didn’t want to deal with with a little blown kiss and a wave. So at the doctor’s office they had two nurses come in to give her some shots and she kept doing the little kiss and wave and they went “aww she’s blowing kisses” and my wife said “no she’s actually trying to dismiss you”
that i was a boy
Two that come to mind:
People would say that’s an “old timey” car or something and I thought that was a brand name.
I thought the people who had really tall spiky mohawks had hair that just grew like that.
