When I was a little kid I wanted to watch Pippi Longstocking on TV, because all the other kids were talking about it, but it was on at 7 o'clock, which was my bedtime. One day my mother had had enough of my whining, so she let me stay up until 7 o'clock, and then turned the TV on -- on the wrong channel. She said: "See? There is no Pippi Longstocking on our TV." I was very disappointed of course, but I believed her! (Unfortunately this will never work with my child, she'll probably be able to program the VCR by the time she turns 3!)
