What Ozpin was probably thinking: Hahaha... you don't even know. What Ozpin said though makes no sense.

Saying that a story has been around since you were a child doesn't imply that you are old but the story is.

If I said that the story of Beowulf has been around since I was a boy means that it's not a new story.

If I said the story of Beowulf wasn't around when I was a boy implies that I'm older than the story. It was more so the "Would you believe" part, as if it's unbelievable that this old, old fairy tale was actually around when he was a child.
