A pupil thinks about it then replies "your feet".
Teacher: "why do you say that?"
Pupil: "last night I saw my mum and dad in their bedroom and mum had her feet in the air and was screaming "God, I'm coming!"

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
