My mother caught me eating biscuits in bed. "Look at the crumbs, you'll have mice". To a four year old this sounded like an exciting opportunity, so each night I would put crumbs under the bed in the hope, not that they would attract mice, but they would turn into mice! After about 3 months and a tell tale mound of crumbs the awful truth was finally broken to me.
