I used to think that if I got stuck or locked in a closet or sat in there with the door closed, that no air could come into the closet and so I would slowly suffocate to death. It wasn't until I was 10 and saw an episode of Jimmy Neutron when Jimmy got locked in a closet and told his friends "he had plenty of air" that I knew closets weren't airtight!
