When I was little, I had asked my Aunt for a glass of water around midnight. She told me that she wouldn't get it, because if she opened the refrigerator door, the light from the fridge would go on, and wake up the food, because it was alive. For the longest time, I really thought that the food was alive, and would refuse to open the fridge at night. Little did I know, that she just didn't want to get up.
