When my sister was about five, she overheard my parents talking about the drafts in our house. I guess she must have misheard them, because when her teacher was teaching them about animals and mentioned giraffes, my sister insisted that she had a bunch of giraffes at home. She held to it steadfast, and couldn't be convinced otherwise.
