Alien Registration
When I was around 3 or 4 years old I saw a commercial on TV about alien registration. It blew my mind. I watched sci fi even then and I knew what an alien was. And that spacemen and martians didn’t really exist.
So I went to my mother, kind of freaked out, and asked her about these aliens that seemed to exist outside of the TV. She told me “I’m an alien.”
Boom! Head explodes. I asked her, “Where are you from, Mars or Venus?”
This must have been before my first trip to England – when I was 3-1/2 or so.
We spent the summers at the shore and I used to stare out over the ocean for hours trying to see England where my grandmother lived.
