- When I was four, I really wanted to go to school since my brother could and I couldn't. I saw a bus go by in the window [not a school bus, but I was too young to know the difference] so I quickly ran and put on my shoes hoping that the bus would wait. It didn't, astonishingly.

- When I was five [2002] I remember seeing the year anniversary of 9/11 on television. I was confused as to what I was watching, then my dad told me that someone flew a plane into the Pentagon, but that it happened a year ago. I incorrectly concluded that if you set the date on your television to a year ago, that it'll play shows from a year ago.

- When I was six, I remember passing a nuclear power plant on a road trip. I asked my dad what it was, and he said it was a cloud factory.

Once again, your dad sounds like a really interesting guy with an active imagination. Good on him for attempting to pass that along.
