I was a very messy child. Whenever my parents would tell me to clean my room (which was extremely often), like so many other kids I would just shove everything under the bed. Well, eventually I'd want something back that I'd stuck under there. For some reason, whenever I went looking for that particular object, I could never find it, no matter what. So I soon developed the belief that there was a hole under my bed controlled by leprechuans, who kept stealing my stuff and throwing it down this hole in a desperate attempt to make me cry. Needless to say, it worked.
