My mom used to tell me that there was an invisible powder that people used to sprinkle on their carpets and floors that could tell where you had walked through their house. I was always scared to death to walk around someone's house. Especially to the bathroom. Sometimes when I go to someone's house that I don't know very well I still think about that powder. It still gives me the creeps.
