When I was being ugly to my parents or whoever, my parents would tell me I was acting like Hateful Hannah (my names not Hannah and I didn't know anyone with that name). The first time they said this I asked who that was and they told me she was a mean ugly old lady who lived at the dump and if I didn't get my act together they would take me to live with her. They used this threat pretty regularly when I was little. And I believed she was a real person for a long time after I stopped believing they would take me there.
