I thought the term for vag*na was actually China, and I remember asking my mother why on earth anyone would ever call a country the same thing as a private part.
I thought it was just as bad to say euphemisms like "the F word" as it was to actually say the real thing, and for some reason, I had it in my head that God would literally strike me dead with a lightning bolt if I did. (My family isn't religious, so... yeah, I have no idea, haha.)
I thought 7Up was actually called Zup for years.
I had the traumatic experience of seeing Jaws at age five, and for ages afterward, I was petrified Jaws would appear in swimming pools and devour me.
I thought in preschool that brown eggs were for brown people and white eggs were for white people, since I noted my family never bought the brown eggs. I asked my mother about this loudly at the supermarket... needless to say, she was mortified :'DDDD
For years and years, I ate the crust on all of my sandwiches, even though I hated them, because my uncle told me it would make my hair curly.

I was scared of dolls for a long time ever since I watched "Child's Play" as a kid. I felt that was the scariest movie I ever saw at the time. I thought "hip hop" was just a fashion thing, and it somehow involves basketball thanks to the "hop" part. I misheard "sack race" as "sacrificing", and decided to take part in that event in our elementary intrams since the word "sacrificing" sounded cool. During kindergarten, I thought it was necessary to put color in black and white pictures in my school books and exam papers, out of habit of from coloring books. I actually brought an exam home just to color the pictures on the exam, even though the exam was to be passed during that day. I didn't cheat at all in that exam (since I didn't know grades and such yet at the time), so the next day, I returned it to my teacher, with my dad telling the teacher about this situation. I can probably think of more once I remember them Not a kid thing, since it's still true even up to now: I usually ate the bread crusts since I felt they're the tastiest part of any bread, and the browner the crust, the better. But wow, thinking about my childhood made me realize how happy it felt putting myself in my 7 year old self, being in 1st grade and always being excited for either my legos or my aunt's Game Boy.

Ah, I also forgot one. Not really a silly belief so much as it was just a very silly thought process.
Even though my parents aren't religious, they sent my sister and me to Sunday School anyway. I learned there that if you prayed to God, he would grant what you asked for. My faith in God officially died in 2nd grade when I decided one evening that I was going to pray for God to rearrange the furniture in my room to test whether he was really real. God of course did not rearrange my furniture, and I became an atheist that night.

I thought 'sleeper' was spelled 'hor' and that it meant a young horse

I thought nothing.
No, I don't really remember anything silly I thought. I was too busy beating Squaresoft games.

I used to think my old man can make money by drawing it from a magical closet in his work place.

I used to think drinking Milo actually made me run faster... then my older brother proved me wrong.
