money

When I was a little girl, I used to believe that if you planted a banknote, a banknote tree would grow.

I used to not get how they could figure out the odds of winning the lottery ahead of time, as how could they know how many people would buy tickets? (this was before I knew about how combinatorics and the like worked.)

I was a little disappointed when I got my first piggy bank to discover it had a rubber stopper in the bottom where you could take the coins out. I had assumed the only way to open a piggy bank was to smash it open with a hammer like they always do in cartoons, which seemed so fun.

When I was in the school I used to believe that inside the automatics cashiers there were people working and they were the ones who delivered the money. Then I asked my father about this and he told me how atomatics cashiers worked.

When I was a child I used to think money laundering was about putting money in a washing machine and that was illegal because with water the money spread some liquid with color and you can print bills with this ink

After hearing the phrase "time is money" I used to believe that money and time were essentially the same thing. So since 60 seconds equaled one minute, I thought 60 cents were equal to a dollar.

I use to believe than when my dad gave me a one dollar bill, I was a millionaire.

I used to believe what I was drawing in my book became reality. Indeed one day I draw one beautiful bed and my parents bought this bed.

But one day, I draw a lot of money and this drawing didn't realize because I'm still not a very rich man.

When I was 8, I thought I could become a multi-billionaire by selling a bunch of cups and magazines that were in my house. The reason I wanted this is because I wanted massage chairs that vibrated.

I used to believe the opposite of "expensive" was "relading". I didn't even know what expensive meant. I was just told I couldn't have something because it was expensive, so I said, "No! It's relading!", not knowing what the word meant but wanting that.

I thought that you could just go the bank for unlimited money, and my mom taught me the concept that you have to have an account there to take money out of and that you can't just go the bank for unlimited money.

I could never understand as a little kid why my grandma, on long shopping trips to various stores around town, would say that she didn't have enough money for something. After all, every time she paid at a register, they gave her back more bills and coins than she gave them, right? Didn't that mean she had more money as the trip went on?

I used to think that all countries had the same money as the United States, because the only currency I knew about was the united states, I never knew about the other countries and that made me believe that the currency was the same in poland, japan, germany, etc.
