When I was growing up Melissa was not a common name so I thought I was the only Melissa to grace the planet. One day at the end of Romper Room the show's host would look straight into the camera say "good-bye" and a kid's name. One day she said "good-bye melissa". I freaked out because I thought this woman could see me. Naturally my good parents convinced me that whenever the tv was on this woman could see me and if I did anything bad she would tell my parents.
