When i was younger I watched a programme where a woman collapsed and stopped breathing, and a man had to give her the 'kiss of life' to save her.
One day i came home from school to find my brother and his girlfriend snogging on the sofa. Immediately i assumed she'd stopped breathing and was ressusitating her. I burst into tears. It was only after Id stopped bawling he explained he was kissing her.
