I use to think everyone had unlimited cash, all you had to do was go to a cash machine.

It's my dad's fault for lying to me about the car being our pet when I asked if we could get a dog

I also thought this when I was a kid

I thought that when the F1 commentators said Michael Schumacher was the reigning world champion it meant that he was good at driving in the rain. I learned that I was wrong when I said to my dad that Schumacher will probably win because it was raining and he laughed at me.

I use to think that I shit my pants after a wet dream.

To be fair you weren't wrong

I used to believe that people died in order of age.

Also that ATM machines gave you all the money you wanted, and that bank checks were free money...

When my brother and I would watch football together, the commentator would say that a player has been 'rested'. 

What I heard was 'arrested'. Ended up thinking players missed games because they'd got nicked during the week then came back from their police time the week after

China for us

My grandparents lived in an entirely black and white world.

On the way into town when I was little, we would drive by a distillery, that had a big chimney that spewed out thick white smoke. 

I thought it was a cloud factory.

I use to think when we got our first tv in the 1950s when I was a wee nipper that there was a door at the back of the tv that people walked in and out.

My mother told me that when we first got our tv when I was about 5 years old I was staring at the tv with my mouth open, I then walked and looked behind the tv and my mother asked me what was I doing and I replied "Looking for the door that them people got into this box with a glass?".

I used to think it was "I use to" instead of "I used to"...

Southern Hemisphere is the best isn’t it mate?

I remember when I started whacking off I thought I should probably stop after doing it a few times because I'd run out of sperm and never be able to have kids.
