when i was younger my two sisters and i would always go to our neighbors' house and play various games with them. one night we were playing hide and seek in the dark and to make it less scary(we were all under 10) we got into groups of two,i was with my neighbor's brother who was 9 and i was 8. i suggested we hide in the weeping willow tree in his back yard. he asked me if i knew about the bats,i said no. he then informed me that large bats the size of owls lived in weeping willow trees and pee on anyone's head that walks by at night. since he was older i belived him. to this day i aviod walking under weeping willow trees at night.
