      Side benefit of being an occasional wheelchair user is that on some days you spare yourself that “avoiding tile cracks” unbalanced stride that your brain just will not stop doing (had my condition for decades and unexpected sympathy can weird out my brain. So just imagine me gliding over the floor without stepping on cracks without having to work at it, on a day it feels like I’d be working at it. Whoosh, straight to the tomato sauce!

    I remember in elementary school some kids would would purposefully step on cracks to prove it wasn’t true. Then one day a kid said his mom had actually broken her back and we all were extra careful that day.

Lore has it that if you manage to call her she’ll be super mad and scratch/scar your face she went into the mirror to find her unscarred face.

And these real guys did nothing wrong to me for me to have this kind of imagination. But I was a kid and my imagination ran wild.
    But these invisible little men would follow me everywhere I'd go and I was afraid of them. So I imagined them running after our family van. And sometimes I worried that they would outrun the van and jump in it and kidnap me 😂 so I would will my parents to drive faster.
