When I was eight or so, I was at the mall with my mother and got bored, so I looked through the greeting cards for something to do.
One of them had a message "you're not old until the fat lady sings" and when I opened it, it had an illustration of a large woman singing. I was worried that I'd then turn into an old woman.
