When I was a kid my dad would tell me that if I would take a nap there would be food ready for me when I woke up. Now I was really young, so I thought that people really only slept for as long as it feels--5 or 6 seconds--so when I would wake up and my dad would have lunch all ready I thought that he must have super powers, like food vision or freezing time.
