I once sucked the liquid out of a purple magic marker when I was about 4. When my sister saw my tongue she said, "Oh no! You're going to die!" A couple of minutes later my mother saw my tongue and immediately started scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush. She too said, "You're going to die!" I didn't fully understand the concept of what death was, I said, "Oh, umm, okay."
