My grandparents used to tell me that there was a man named Mr. Smith who lived upstairs in their attic, and if I made noise I'd wake him up. Naturally I wanted to meet this stranger who lived in their house, but they'd never let me go up there. Now I know that it was just a story to keep the volume down.
