Years ago, my brother (5 years old at the time) kicked a mushroom that had been growing in our yard. I told him that he just murdered a bunch of Smurfs. He went crying to my parents about it. We grew up with Smurfs on the Saturday morning cartoons. I always think of the Smurfs when I see a mushroom in my yard.
