when i was little (perhaps only 2 or 3) my older sister had me convinced that i had a mouse living in my head. this, she explained, was why i got the sniffles all of the time. she further explained that the only way to rid my head of said mouse was to take a cabbage, cut it in half and sleep with my ear against it; this way the mouse would leave for a better environment & no harm would come to it or my brains. this went on for about a year, until one day we had to explain to our mother why there was a head of lettuce in my bed. . .
