A childhood belief about general

When I was about 3, my family used to go camping every year by a lake. Now, since I was in the water from straight after breakfast until dinner time, my skin would get really dry and so my mum would have to put aloe vera gel all over my body. I hated having it put on and used to scream and kick. The tantrum problem was solved when my mum said that if I didn't have the aloe vera gel on, the bears would come and eat me... I believed her... Now, considering we live in Australia and the closest thing we'll get to a wild bear is a koala, i now think it to be really stupid!
