As I was a child at the age of 2 or 3 years my brother (who is three years older than me) was put to school. So my relatives asked me if I was already keen on going to school, too. My answer must have been quite surprising for them and it was about this:
"No, that´s not a good place to be - everyone who is put to school looses his teeth."
After all, maybe there´s really a causal coherence and school is just a enormous tooth-fairy-conspiracy to get the childrens´ teeth.
Well, that was a really strange thing to believe in and I wonder if anyone else did!?
