If I bite the cactus, it will bite back.
When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house.

Computer and TV screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.
I will not drag dirty socks onto the bed at night and then yell at the top of my lungs so that my humans can admire my "kill."
I will not perch on my human's chest in the middle of the night and stare until they wake up.
