One time my family was on vacation and we had gone to the beach, I had brought a bucket and put a lot of snails with pointy shells in it. That night they had started crawling (?) aroung the bucket and my brother told me that while I was sleeping they would escape, crawl up my nose, and eat my brain. My sisters played along too, needless to say I a scary sleepless night. Mean!
