grown-ups: work

I used to think that the phrase "Why don't you get a day job" ment actually "why don't you get a job that gives you employment during the day?"

So when my dad, who was working night-shift at the time, was grumbling about working at night,
I asked him Why don't you get a day job?

He started laughing...
I now no what that phrase means

I always thought the coast was the best place in the world, and so I didn't think anyone had to work there unless they really wanted to. So I wanted to get a house by the coast so I wouldn't have to work.

when i was little (like 4-5) i wanted to be a clerk in a big market because i thought that all money people give me is mine.

One summer I realized all kids got a break from school in the summer. So I asked Mom, "Does Dad go on summer vacation from work, too?" I guess I thought Dad was going to some kind of grown up school.

I used to think train drivers lived in the small huts or train sheds at the station'?

My friend's grandpa was in the Navy. He would always go on the boat. When she was young, she thought hewas a fisherman!!!

When I was younger, I used to believe that my mom worked as the tooth fairy. I thought that she got gold dollers from the bank, put it under my pillow, and took my tooth and...well I don't know what she would do with teeth, but that is what I thought.

I wanted to be a fireman when I was around the age of... 5 or 6, I guess. My 2 years younger sister objected; Then I couldn't be the uncle of her children!

I THOUGHT PLUMBERS PICKED PLUMS FROM TREES ALL DAY HAAA HAAA

I once told my whole family i wanted to be a dancer as in the movie Fast Foreward where dancers dance up and down the strip. Not having a particular title for the profession i called it strip dancing and being 8 years old i got some really weird looks.

when i was three years old, and at home while my parents were on the work; i saw parliament assembly on tv, and thought, that my parents are probably there, working all day.

When I was younger, I didn't take into account that the world was round.... So I used to wonder, "If we're the first car stopped at this stop light, then who's the very first car, in the very front of all stoplights on all the highways?" I assumed it must have been the President. THAT must have been what his job was: to lead the cars around all day.

So, I grew up with the thought of Bill Clinton sitting in a little black sedan, the first car at the very first stoplight in the world.

I used to believe that "when i was an adult" in a past life i was a food taster!

i thought that being a stripper ment that i got to make clothes.

When I was about 4 I used to think that my parents would drive off to work and sit at their desks and then pull a gear-shift like lever at their desks and that was all they did for 6 hours a day.

I used to think that my uncle was a secret agent because everytime he came round to our house when I lived in Glasgow he used to speak to me in a series of grunts and whistles and stuff rather then in english. He'd then sly-lee give me money.
