I used to believe that people could read eachothers' mind by pressing foreheads together. This came about from my being the youngest of several (very bored?) siblings. My brother would agree that whatever word I said was indeed the one he had been thinking, and he would magically be able to guess the word I was thinking, thanks to the sister that I had told before-hand.. they had to make sure I wasn't cheating.
