What’s something you believed as a kid that you’re embarrassed to admit you believed for so long?

That goats were male sheep. I heard it on the Simpsons but didn't realize it was a joke.

Christmas was on the 24th of December. Don't know how I got it into my head but I must have been like 11 when I figured out I was wrong. I was very used to using school as a way to tell what date it was, so when the holidays came I never paid attention to the date, and this never questioned it.
