For some reason I had two weird beliefs related to octopuses when I was about five (maybe four, maybe six but around that age). The first was when Dad told me that my aunt and her roommate were visiting and for some crazy reason, I thought that they'd bring an octopus with them.
The second was that I thought that at some point in history, an octopus had tried to be Santa but then realized it couldn't breathe air, so it gave up and let Santa do the present-delivering.
