When I was little, I was a huge fan of the Rugrats. My favorite episode was the one where Chuckie adopted a roly-poly bug and named it Melville. There were a lot of roly-polies in our backyard, and we used to collect them in jars, but until I was in about third grade I thought that this type of insect were actually called Melvilles.
