When I was little I used to love having a bath, and would quite happily spend hours in there. Obviously fed up of this my mum told me that when my fingers wrinkled up, it meant I had to get out of the bath straight away. I accepted this without question.
I completely believed this until I was (shamefully) about 14 when my mum questioned why I had taken such a quick bath. My reply was "my hands were wrinkled..."
oh how she laughed...
