When I was very young, I can't remember how old I was, but anyways..I thought a miniature witch lived in my stomach. I used to think that whenever I ate, the food would drop into a couldron and the witch would mix away. And if I was a bad girl, she would put magic spells in the couldron and make my stomach hurt. And it would make me mad, so I would repeatedly punch myself in the stomach yelling at her to fix me right now! Ah..so naive.
