When I was about 5 my older brother who was 8 at the time would tell me that little gnomes lived under my bed. So every night I would try to talk to them. I would say "Hello" and then I would hear a little voice saying "Hello" back. It wasn't until I was about 6 when I found out that it wasn't any Gnomes it was my brother under my bed pretending to be them!
