A childhood belief about around the house

One time our house was robbed, and my birth certificate was stolen. As a result, I believed that the Hamburgler was going to come through the window at night and steal my birth. The only protection was to make a nest out of blankets and have my hair in a braid. If I did that, the Hamburgler wouldn't bother me.

I was nice enough to perform this little service for my sister, too, while she was too young to braid her own hair.
