When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.

    I’m gonna sound so stupid, but I thought checks just gave you free money. I thought my parents were wasting a check by writing such a small amount, and ask them something like why not write a bigger number?

    Then they explained that you need money in the bank to work. I was too young to even be embarrassed, I was just like ok cool, didn’t even realize how dumb I was.

    In my defence, I was like 9 and I just arrived in the US and never heard of a “check” before.
