Ah, the things kids do.
My wife tells a story from her childhood. She didn't like mashed
potatoes and peas, especially peas. During the meal she would reach
under the table and stick mounds of potatoes and peas to the underside
of the table.
Months later, her mother rearranged the seating, and after a couple of
days her little brother managed to kick the table, and a glob of old
potatoes and peas fell to the floor. Her mother looked under there to
find a veritable upside-down *mountain range* of dried food.
Little brother got the blame. :-)
