My granny had air vents in the floor of her house. She always told me never to drop anything in them or the house would blow up. Then one day I accientally dropped one of my toys in it, and I screamed and cries and tried in vain to retrieve it. The I told her what had happened saying we needed to get out of the house and all she said was "Well..maybe we'll be ok."
