one day when i was quite young i was helping my mum set up a party for work, you know, decorations, balloons etc. i tried blowing a balloon up, and because you have to stretch them to make it easier, i couldnt do it, so my mum blew it up half way for me. but me being me wanted to do it all myself now, so i let the air out.
"well that was a waste of breath" she said, but i took it literally and thought we only had a certain amount of air to breath and we'd all eventually die when it ran out because of people who wasted it on whistles and sneezing etc.
weird eh?
