In our laundry room there was a single light bulb hanging from the middle of the ceiling. I noticed that my shadow overtook me everytime I walked from one wall to the opposite one, and that really amazed me.
When I was 5 I thought that if I could run fast enough I could get to the opposite wall before my shadow gets there as well.
