Once when I was little I read one of those kids' magazines -

[snarp]

- Highlights or something? - and it had a story in it about some anthropomorphic forest animals who lived in trees making "yellow cake." The cake was just yellow. We do not know what was going on with this cake otherwise. I registered this as odd at the time, but not precisely as sinister.

My point is that I just decided that those forest animals were enriching uranium.

This revelation would have been much funnier had I had it at the age of seven, and inflicted it on whichever teacher had given me Highlights to shut me up.
