When I was little I thought girls had penises (I am male). In High School, I was very confused about reproduction and how it could work. The great part of living in a red state that does not believe in sex education. I was in college before I learned that women do not have a penis.

As a kid, I thought women had a penis. As a teen, I thought none did.
As an adult, now I know some women have one.
i thought girls just peed out of their butts.. and i dont think ANY girls do that, haha
Look, male, female, or otherwise, we've all peed out our butts at one point or another. And it's never fun.
To my perfectly logical child brain, regular milk came from white cows with black spots, and chocolate milk came from white cows with brown spots!
I never moved house as a young child, so I believed that when you wanted to move, you had to go find someone else who wanted to trade houses with you. It seemed like a very difficult process to find a person whose house you wanted but they also wanted yours.
When I was 10 I thought Elton John was singing goodbye aubergine instead of goodbye Norma Jeane. To this very day I have great difficulty in understanding song lyrics :/
Oh, draw me closer Tony Danza.
I believed chinese/japanese ink was made from cuttlefish "ink".
My brother told me and I belived for years...
Cuttlefish ink used to be used as ink. Primarily in ancient times, but... that is real.
I thought movies were real and they just literally followed people around with a camera for the events in movies. Of course, animated movies were a little difficult to resolve with this logic. So, I just figured there was an alternate universe where everything was animated and that's where they came from.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit must have been a tricky watch for you :)
Not going to lie. As I was writing my response, I was thinking Who Framed Roger Rabbit might have been involved in my forming of this belief.
I thought the old days were actually black and white!
I thought eggs were a dairy product because they were sold in the milk aisle and were also white.
Not an unreasonable belief, since eggs are often displayed under a huge sign that says "dairy".
