As a child, my parents put "tot finder" stickers on our bedroom windows so firemen would be able to quickly locate us in case of an emergency. When I was about 2 I remember looking at the sticker and being afraid of it. I decided that making a clucking noise with my tongue would keep the evil at bay.
