I used to think that if you turned back the hands on a clock, you would go younger until you were a little baby. I didn't want to be a little baby and I did not want to die so I put a stick in front of every clock's hands I could see. For a few weeks, my mum would keep on removing the sticks and I would put them back again! She wondered where all the sticks came from! I really thought that I could stop myself from aging!
