When I was little, my teacher would always tell us that she had eyes behind her head. I really took it seriously! I always used to try and see them, but if I tryed too hard I knew her eyes would see me. So I would throw paper when she bent down so her eyes were facing up, and I would try and hit her 'behind her head' eyes. Oh well, I thought, man will I show my kids when I have eyes behind my head, when I grow up!!
