In pre-school I believed that pennies would come out of my cuticles if I cut them and I also believed that my nose was a sort of pouch that I could store small treasures in. Needless to say, my parents were called a few times after I had tried to store my treasures, i.e. seeds, small washers and the like, and had I had quite a time trying to retrieve them.
