24 Years Ago, Yesterday

My wild, gullible four-year-old imagination let me believe my older sister stating that all movies were real. The twister really happened in Oz. The Bond movies led me to sleep with the covers over my head, from fear that an assassin would crawl through the air vents and shoot poision in me while I slept.

What about cartoons? I asked her triumphantly, my smart-ass streak showing early. No way Aladdin is real.

She assurred me it was. Disney movies were all filmed in a different dimension.

Suspension of disbelief, they call it.

I have her to thank for my career.
