The one my husband and other family members still find funny. The difference between a bull and a steer. I thought bulls had horns and steers didn't (My Uncles polled their steers which I had never been near enough to know).
Man you can tell I come from the city with this one.
Oh yeah, my son thought chicken's laid eggs in the cartons and that they were always clean. I thought he'd never eat another egg when he found out differently.

My granddaughter is 3 this summer, her name is Lily. I showed her some lily buds in the yard a few weeks ago and told her they were almost ready to bloom. She said, "Yeah, they BOOM!" I tried in vain to explain. She'e thinking fireworks. Two days ago she was over and I showed her the blooming lilies. She ran around shouting, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" She didn't want to understand it any other way.

I did get hit by a car, into the path of an oncoming truck. I was 15. My face was pretty smashed up, broken leg and hip, ribs and shoulder, and my mothers first question: You weren't wearing those yellow undies, were you? The undies in question had WOW embroidered on the rear end. And I still have not let her live this down, 30 years later.
My silly misconception: too much TV will make your eyes square. My neighbour had square glasses, and he would nod wisely when Mum or Dad said this.

OMG you guys are so funny lol Ok, here's a good one. And this one is from my husband, a grown man! I sometimes eat strange "healthy" things, lol, like sprouts, yummy. Hubby has always turned his nose up at healthy stuff. So a few months ago, he got curious, and pulled my sprouts out of the fridge, and he says to me, uhmmm, these are live, right? I say right. He says, that's why they're healthy, right? I say right. Then he looks at me and says, but if they're live, and i eat them, wont they keep growing in my stomache????????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously! lol lol
