My friend read this book about a girl who had saved up her coins as a child and later on she turned into a millionaire...................well we were convinced abt it & tried the same (no success)
:)
When i was a kid i though rubber boots were called Welfare Boots
i used to believe that i could store all my money inside my vagina and it would grow cos that's where i grew in my mummy.
Not mine, one I heard from a customer. She wanted to fax us a check to pay her account, thinking that this would serve as a legitimate form of payment. (can you imagine if she'd wanted to fax bills and coins?)
My little cousin Robbie who is about 6 thinks that all American money is the same---he counts a penny as one, a 20 dollar bill as one, and a 5 dollar bill as one dollar, it doesn't matter what type of money it is. All bills and coins---to him---are counted as one dollar!
For example one day he had a five dollar bill and a one dollar bill in his pocket. He took the money out and counted it aloud. "I have two dollars". He actually had 6 dollars!
As a kid I didn't know that one dollar equals 100 cents (like in any other currency) So when I was 7 or 8 and I was reading new issue of my favorite "Donald Duck" comic magazine, there was a story od Donald hired by uncle Scrooge to take his place in worrying so he would have more time to count his money. The rate was thirty cents per hour. When after four hours they realized that Scrooge had forgotten what was Donald supposed to worry about and he started panicking that one dollar and twenty cents was wasted for nothing. Forgetting that this 1,20$ was for four hours, I assumed that since dollar and twenty cents was like thirty cents, then one dollar was ten cents! It even seemed logical to me, since ten cents was such a nice round number, and this money amount was so often referred to in movies, so it must have been equivalent of one dollar! It was way later when I read it again and realized about these four hours, and that 0,30$*4=1,20$, and that if one dollar was really ten cents, then thirty cents would just make three dollars, instead of 1,20!
I used to believe that I would be a millionaire
