What weird false belief did you have as a kid?
You're viewing a single thread.
My mom told me that Dad went to work to make money, and I actually expected to see money making machines when I visited him at the office.
Plot twist: OPs father actually works at the United States Mint (but in an office job)
Unfortunately, he worked in a school district setting the routes busses take.
Oh dear. I hope for his sake that he understood polynomial expressions, otherwise he was constantly being berated for "his stupid decisions," by parents that also didn't have any data to back them up.
I imagined work as a building with a big neon sign out front that said "work".
