I used to believe that there was a tiny person who lived in my refrigerator who turned the light on when i opened the door, and shut it off when i closed it. I believed this for years until eventually the fridge got old and one day the light didnt turn on and in panic I asked my older sister if the little man in the fridge had died or have moved away and she showed me that the light bulb had blew.
