When I was 5 up until I was about 8 I used to hate eating roasts and meat with "chunkies" in it. Mum wouldn't let me have desert until I finished so I used to throw the chewed-up and spat out bit of meat under my dad's chair, I either thought it disappeared or he got the blame. A few days ago I asked my mum whether she knew I did that, she replied "Well I never swept the floor so by that time it would have been all shrivelled up!" Ewwwwww!
