When I was four or five, my grandmother always told me not to drink my tea with the spoon in the cup. She told me I would have an accident. It wasn't until I was in my teens that I realized that I would poke out my eye. I actually believed that I would fall down the steps or get hit by a car or some other horrible thing would happen to me.
