I am from Canada. When I was about 6 years old and in the first grade I was apparently pretty gullible. I broke a boy in my class's "skin coloured" crayon and he told me that if I didn't give him my "skin coloured" crayon to replace his that he would tell his Dad and his Dad would send me to "kid jail" in the United States. I totally believed him and was terrified. However, I really did't want to give him my crayon, so I finally burst into tears and told my Mom and she clarified things for me!!
