once when i was about 6 or 7, my class went on a field trip to the playground. i was in the sandbox, set on digging a hole to china. one of my classmates joined me, and as we sat across from each other, our separate holes connected and a caught a glimpse of his hand. for the longest time i beleived that i had actually dug all the way to china and that there was another kid in china who had dug a hole to california!
