Not to nitpick, but don't you mean the outer part will spin faster?

But anyway, sometimes if we were on a car ride home after visiting relatives and it was late at night (so we were asleep), my dad would wait until we were on a deserted road. Then he'd swerve around and scream "We're all gonna die!"
It was great.

:-) I told my daughter (in the next room) to stop jumping on the couch. She promptly got down and came to see me - asking if I could see her through the wall.... well... too good to pass up. "Yes, daddy can see through walls.", I say. Did I tell her it was just the squeaky spring that made it *obvious*?! For the next couple of days, she'd do something to "test" me, but I was too wily for her. Now it's about six months later, and mommy cannot convince her that I *don't* see through walls! ;-)

My (soon to be) stepdaughter was asking me a question regarding her English assignment and I told her "You can have past perfect tense because hindsight is 20/20 so we know this is right. If it was future perfect tense you'd have to write it down, then wait until tomorrow and read it again using past perfect to see if it was correct." The fiance' doesn't let me talk to her anymore.

When my friend was young (6/7), she had a nightmare where she believed that all of these snakes were coming to attack her and her family. So of course, she got up, ran into her dad's bedroom, woke up, and told him her plight. Her dad tried to convince her that the snakes were not coming to eat her and her family, but as young imaginations are wild, he couldn't talk any sense into her. So in his desperation, he got his wife up, and took their mattress off their bed, and barricaded the top of the stairs of the house (all bedrooms on top floor) in order to appease her fears. Comforted, but still panicky, she asked for something else to secure her. The quick thinking dad, ran downstairs, and grabbed a few cloves of garlic. He spread them around the girls bedroom while spinning a tale about how snakes are horribly afraid of garlic. Calmed, and feeling safe, the girl went to bed.
A few years later, in grade six, we had a discussion about snakes in class. The conversation drifted towards 'what should you do if you run into a rattler snake", and of course the girl put up her hand, and said "Throw some garlic at it. They hate garlic."Her comment received alot of weird looks and a lot of disproving from her classmates.
Hrrm, now that I have it all typed out, it isn't so much a screwing with children's head story, but more of a cute story.
