I have a freckle on my hand which I used to think it was a magic freckle that i could use like a button if I pressed it to turn on the light inside the fridge. This strange idea was not put to rest by my parents - my mother in fact encouraged this fantasy by standing next to the fridge and opening it as I "aimed" my freckled hand at it like a remote control...
