When I was little, I overheard my mother and grandmother talking about my great grandmother who was dying of cancer and was jaundiced and I remember them talking about how yellow her skin was. From then on, I thought that if you colored your skin with a yellow highlighter or marker, you would get cancer and die. I still get a little freaked out if I get some on my hand. Kids associate the wierdest things.
