That's amazing; my six-year-old stepdaughter (first grade) and I just had a conversation about this exact misunderstanding the other day. Except in her case, she was worried that she was going to go to jail because she knew we had given her medicine in the past.
But we talked about how there are different kinds of drugs--some for kids, some for adults, some for animals, and some for nobody--and after that she understood just fine.
As your daughter gets older, you're going to get even less communication from her teachers, and the things she learns will very often be poorly explained (I had a couple teachers presenting outright falsehoods in math, for example, simply because they were ignorant.) You should actually be glad to start a pattern now of "bring what you learn to me so I can help you put it in perspective."
