When I was in kindergarten, my teacher told me she had eyes in the back of her head (so we wouldn't do anything bad while her back was turned). She "proved" this by putting a pair of glasses on the back of her head for a few minutes. I thought I couldn't see out of the back of my head because I needed glasses (I had them in the front). I felt like such a dork when I asked my doctor for another pair of glasses, for the eyes in back of my head!
