I thought that when the clerk at the checkout asked, "would you like cash back?" That you could say yes and they would just give you cash straight out of the register for nothing lol.
I figured that most people were very honest and didn't need the money, so they would just say no thanks and leave it in the register for somebody who really did need it.
Similarly, I thought one could get more money by asking for change. You give one bill, you get more bills and coins in return, it's gotta be more, right?

Thanks to DARE any time I saw a skittle with the S missing I thought it was drugs even in a newly opened package

Actors have to be married to kiss on screen
I thought deaths on screen were real and that people volunteered to die to create the production and wondered why in the world someone would die just to make a movie.
I thought the priest at church was Jesus.

That Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler were the same person.
American propaganda is a hell of a drug. Now they do the same with Putin.
"Putler" springs to mind
That night was caused by really thick clouds. I think I saw light through dark black clouds during twilight and assumed night was caused by black clouds covering the sky. I went to test this theory by flying out of London at night but I fell asleep before we took off.
What were stars, the milky way and the moon to you?
Pinholes. No idea how I explained the moon.
