Years ago I magically got some little grey beetles in the kitchen. I moved them outside, but the next day I got more. After repeating this process for several days, I ceased the relocation process. That's when I learned that they weren't actually sneaking back inside, but were spontaneously generating from the ether.

I thought it was cool to have magical pets, but then they started to die. I named them all Fred, so I didn't feel bad when I had to sweep up dead Freds.

After about a month, there were no more Freds. A year after that, I found a bag in a cupboard that was half beans and half Freds. That's when I learned that they weren't magical after all, and I was sad.
