I saw something on a cartoon show when I was about 5, that a little kid put toilet paper on the floor claiming it's a river, and a chair over it claiming it's a bridge. He got someone to cross the bridge, but he fell in, so he was in real water and drowned. I really wanted to go swimming, but my parents said no, so I wasted a whole bunch of toilet paper putting it on the floor and putting a chair over it. I kept on stepping on the toilet paper, but it was still dry. Then I found out those cartoons were just making stuff up to amuse little kids.
