Oh geez, I learned that the hard way in elementary school. A (very dark black) friend of mine had one of those rubber popper toys and was popping it on his arm. It made a silly noise and looked like fun, so I tried it, and decided to up the ante by popping it on my neck and face... Turns out, it was making little bruises that were invisible on him... not so much on my white self. They took a bit to show up though, so I probably popped that thing ten times.
Suffice to say, I got some odd looks from teachers wondering why a ten year old was covered in hickeys

Back when I was about three years old, my father did that old "I've got your nose!" trick on me.
I laughed aloud, then asked if I could try to take his nose.
Apparently my grip was a lot stronger than he'd imagined.
