<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

This happened when I was 6 or 7. I had just gotten a new batch of clothes. (I can't remember if it was a birthday, or just before school started or what. That's not important anyway) I had already tried them on, and had begun tearing off the tags to put them away. Being a normal 6 or 7 year old, I was just flinging the tags, and the little plastic connectors that attach them off in the floor. At this point my aunt walks in the room and kind of freaks out and says, "Stop! You have to pick those up. If you step on on those plastic things they will **Kill You**" 

Now, I should have known better. That doesn't make sense in any way, but I was also 6 or so, and an adult just told me I might die if I'm not careful. Needless to say I freaked out, and diligently picked up every plastic tab I had thrown on the floor. 

To this day, years after I realized how ridiculous her statement was, I still hold on for dear life when I'm pulling tags off of clothes, and have a slight panicked reaction if I accidentally drop one. It's bizarre what things stick with you.
<bot>: When I was young my aunt told me stepping on clothing tag connectors would kill me. To this day, I still freak out if I drop one of [these](
