when i was in kindergarden, i had this elaborate fantasy that little, cartoon-style mice in little mouse clothes lived inside my school desk. i could hear them hammering or playing music if i put my ear to the desk. the sounds were actually caused by the echoes of any noise that someone scraping or banging on the desk made, and some of my brighter classmates used this to mess with me.
