A childhood belief about money

I used to think a tip was a fixed amount of money you were required to give to someone after shopping at their store. When I was little, my friend and I would have a lemonade stand and we put out a paper cup with "Tips: $2" written on it. A woman bought a cup of lemonade from us (for 50 cents). We then started yelling at her because she didn't give us a $2 tip. Then my mother came out and yelled at us.
