When I was 6-7 years old, I used to think that a penny costed a dollar, so I walked to a liquor store (by myself. it was next to my house), with some pennies to buy a starburst. I took a starburst packet and gave it to the cashier guy with my pennies, but he said it wasn't enough. I was really bummed out.
