Long, long ago, sometime before I was in first grade, I'd occasionally watch the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. There was one episode where a little boy got out of bed in the middle of the night. The floor around the bed started glowing, and he got sucked underneath and into whatever alternate dimension the cartoon took place in. For quite a while, I was afraid that if I stepped too close to my bed, the same thing would happen to me, so I'd jump on or off to avoid that 2-foot buffer of floor space. I can't remember what made me figure out that there was nothing unusual about my floor. I just stopped doing that one day, I guess.
