When we were in kindergarten, my friends and I believed that if we crossed our eyes and stuck out our tounge, and someone slapped us really hard in the back, that our faces would get stuck that way! Sometimes, we would play tricks on eachother and wack eachother in the back while we were crossing our eyes. When our faces didn't get stuck like that, we thought that our guardian angels were watching over us and that they made sure that our faces didn't turn ugly!!
