That cashiers/shopkeepers gave you change every other time you bought something, even if you gave them a £5 note for a 10p sweet. I didn't really care about money at the time (I was 4 or 5), Lion bars were much more interesting!
That the little stone angels found in gardens and as headstones in graveyards were evil and moved towards you when you turned your back on them.
I remember visiting a very old graveyard in St.Andrews in Scotland and seeing a 7 foot tall angel headstone that was crying blood!.
Of course, it was just rust seeping from the framework inside the angel, but I didn't know that and struggled to sleep for months. I still feel uncomfortable about them to this day.
Edit:
It was this exact statue!

I don't know about you guys, but back in elementary school, on the days we received report cards, everyone always behaved super super well, sat up straight, paid attention in class, and actively participated in hopes that would "squeeze" in some marks before the grades got handed out at the end of the day.

I still do that, it works somewhat.

I used to think teachers lived in the staff room at the school. But then one day I went up in there, no beds, I was a confused little chap.
Edit: This was primary school I might add..

Things my father told me that i believed when i was kid.
Monsters were real.
If i farted too much i would blow a hole in my underwear
Cottage cheese was cow brains
If you pick your nose too much one day you'll pull your brain through your nose.

That one is true, I have done it.
Only stupid thing I can think of that I once thought this blue building a couple blocks from my house was the state of Florida. Don't know where I got that from.

I used to think that telephone poles actually carried the sound of your voice when you talked on the phone in the same way my toy string and cup phone worked, but on a big scale.
I also thought that space was about 100,00 miles above the earth's surface, and that when someone claimed they were an orthodontist, they were referring to their religion.

When I had my first computer, I gawked at all the "new" features at the time.
<geek> I dunno, it was some sort of Pentium III 933mhz with about 256MB of RAM, and it came decked out with 5.25" drives in it. </geek>
When my dad opened up the CD ROM drive for the first time, I said "It even comes with deluxe cup holders!?"
I, as a matter of fact, placed my juice mug on the CD tray...
Also, I ate Spaghetti O's because "Sonic also ate them"; there was advertising for Sonic Adventure at the time I think...

Just remembered one.
I used to think that the world is bigger than it is, maybe because I haven't learn geography at the time. I thought there were some far away land which I can explore and claim as my own. And when I finally seen the world map for the first time, I thought, "that's it? that's all the land in the world?"

This reminded me... I used to think the whole world was just the Continental US (not even Canada or Mexico) surrounded by endless water on all sides(I know you all are thinking "Typical american"). Now I know that The US is surrounded on all sides by water but there are islands far off into the distance where we send people wearing camoflauge and holding guns when we want oil. But thats beside the point.

It's not really a belief, but when I was little I didn't "know" what sleeping was. All I knew was that you lie down on your bed for a period of time. One Sunday afternoon, my parents told my sister and I to go take a nap. We both hopped in our bunk beds, I lied down, and then I starting counting to myself, because all I knew about sleep was that it was like time-out for who knows how long.
Back then I only knew how to count up to ten, so I counted. As soon as I reach ten, I get out of bed, go downstairs, parents spot me and tell me to go back to sleep. "I finished sleeping" I said. "Go to sleep" they replied. So I did that, counted to ten and got out again. Did this probably 2 or 3 times until I actually went to sleep.
