When I was around 6 or 7 my family went on a family outing to the bowling alley. My older brother and I developed a habit of crossing the line when throwing the ball. My mother, in an effort to teach us to play the game correctly, told us that little midgets would come out of the gutters and steal us if we kept crossing the line. I imagined in my mind that little oompa loompas would come out and grab me if I crossed the line.
