I used to believe that all the stars in the sky were little living things called diggits. I gave them this name because whenever they appeared I would always hear this diggit noise. This was of course only the crickets, but at 6 years old I could know no better. Anyway, I made up a whole history about the digits and how they followed their leader, the king diggit, the moon.
