I'm not sure how old I was exactly but it was pretty young. I had a piece of wrapped up Christmas candy and I was playing with it. For some reason I was trying to sell it to all the adults. I started out with a dollar and my aunt said no. Then I said a penny and she said "That's way to expensive for me!" Obviously she was being sarcastic but for the longest time after that I though the less amount of money you had the more it was worth.
