13. The straight children, maybe?
For years, when I was a little boy in the 1960s using the six-floor men's room of the department store my mother or my aunt would take me to downtown, I puzzled over why those shopping bags placed on the floor behind closed toilet stalls would be moving around, seemingly autonomously. Were there Mexican jumping beans in those bags, I wondered? What was it that made those bags move around?

It was only much later, in my teens, when I happened into that Woodward & Lothrop department store men's room downtown again and saw the bags were still there, still moving, did I realize the answer to that childhood puzzle.
