When I was very small, I over-heard an adult conversation. My next door neighbour was crying and told my mum 'it was burglars..they came last night'
I believed for a long time that a burglar (beargular) was a real bear that wore black.
I never read Goldilocks again, didn't want my mum to buy porridge, and I suffered a recurring nightmare for a long time about three bears wearing black coming in to my bedroom looking for porridge.
