Thanks to the imagination of my mom & dad, I used to believe that eating green beans would put hair on your chest; that if you sat too close to the fan your face would become paralyzed; that if you sat too close to the TV you would go blind and that if you walked on your tippy toes you would be prescribed cement shoes to wear so that you would stop!
