I would always play hide-and-seek with my sister, but i would NEVER hide under the bed. My sister once told me that there was an octopus just waiting for me to get in there and become sucked up. And I believed her! But one day, I fell asleep on the floor beside my bed, not-knowing that my sister pushed me under it! When I woke up, I screamed my head off but then i noticed- THERE'S NO OCTOPUS! But then I threatened my sister the next day for threatening me, that if you went under the bed, it will fall on you if someone sits on it. SHE FELL FOR IT!
