I blame Enid BlytonI'm probably not alone in this, but as a naive 8 year old I used to believe that people who were 'helping the police with their inquiries' were enthusiastic amateurs in the Famous Five mode who took time out of their busy lives to do some detective work on the side.
Can't remember ever telling my parents that I fancied doing this later in life or not, but for a time it did rank above being an astronaut or even a footballer.
On a similar note, at about the same age I asked my Dad what 'rape' meant, after reading a story in the local paper. He eventually came out with the explanation that it was when a man had sex with a woman and she didn't want to. 100% accurate, but for a while I believed that this just meant that the woman had a headache or something and the hefty sentences these blokes were getting was rather harsh.

In Sweden it means not telling her the condom split.So it's not as far off as you'd think.
