<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I have so many fuck ups in my childhood. This subreddit is an awesome place for me :D

Alright, so when I was 8 years old (not today, sorry :p) I was a dumbass. Like many kids. My teacher taught us about contradictions. Here's an example that she told us:

"You're so poor, you can afford a car."

Which basically means that you're actually rich (I think that's what you would call a contradiction, please correct me if I'm wrong).

I thought I would tell this to a friend, who I met a lot during recess. She wasn't a classmate.

She was talking with a friend. I poked her on the back and she turned around. I said the usual "Hi" and told her the quote.

She didn't listen correctly, and so did her friend. They thought I said:

**"You're so poor, you can't afford a car."**

I tried to tell them that I said CAN, but being kids, they didn't listen and ran towards the teacher.

I spent a good 5 minute timeout during recess the next day.
<bot>: When I was 8, I told a girl "You're so poor, you can afford a car" and she misheard me. I got a timeout in recess after that.
