once when i was about 5 i was in the car, and i was just sticking my tongue out (i dont know why) and we drove past an old lady watering her plants in her front garden who saw me sticking my tongue out. i cried and cried for hours that night, terrified that she was going to call the police and id get arrested or killed for it...
