When I was young I slammed my finger in the car door. We were at IHOP and my brother told me that if my finger got too close to my hot cocoa that it would shrink. From that point on, until I was considerably older, I held a belief in my subconscious that there were people walking around with shrunken fingers, until one day it came out in conversation..."you know those people with shrunken fingers..." oh my.
