When i was in about 1st grade I used to play with my lil Fisher Price people in the kitchen where mom always was. Slowly my pile of people shrunk. I never knew why. When i was in high school my mom informed that after i was done playing i wouldn't get them all and they slowly died in the oven. Til there were no more.
