What things did you learn wrong as a child that would embarrass you now?

Question:In my case I didn't listen to the teacher I guess and for months I thought that a million was 1000 and a thousand was 1000000

Answers:
Ha ha I thought that in the Star Spangled banner they said "daunserly light" (Daunserly isn't a word) instead of "dawn's early light", so in choir I made a big scene in correcting my teacher when she handed out the choir sheets, telling her she made a typo. She freaked and ran to my english teachers room and made her explain to me infront of the whole class that daunserly wasn't a word.
swearing,and swearing in front of kids.
Long division - I was "off sick" the day they did that in class!
smoking weed is wrong my dad was a hippie and told me it was ok for years
That it was ok to sit on my teachers knee even when he wasn't dressed as Santa.
That people were good and would not hurt a child. I didn't know I had to be Leary of adults I didn't know.

Of course then life wasn't as full of low lifers that would harm a child...at least where I lived.

What I took for granted most people now would consider me naive and just plain stupid. I was neither, but unless you lived where and when I was a child, no one believes such times existed.
that innocence was a good think too have learnt the error of my ways very soon after that too xxx
When I was a child, I thought dimples came from an injection that the doctors should give you at the time you were born and it has to be requested by the mother or the father before it would be given. It was only in my biology class that I learned that dimples were actually hereditary.
I was taught that I was found under a gooseberry bush in my Dads allotment. He liked the look of me and bought me home, Mum thought I was ok and they decided to keep me!

I got a big surprise when I got married.
Not to chase sheep.
