When I was quite little (I am 15 now) I asked my mum what a certain button on the car did. She told me that it made the car fly into space. I never touched that button and then one day on a long car trip mum pressed it and I panicked! It made her confused until I told her what she told me. Then all she did was laugh. How gullible I was. She also did the same thing to me with a television remote. There was a purple button and she said it made the tv blow up. I never did touch that button...
