I remember watching Captain Planet...He's this superhero who has 5 human friends with powers of things like water and fire and wind and junk...they all would get together with their rings, and I had a cheap junky ring that I thought made me like those superhero's friends. So whenever I wore the plastic ring, I believed I could see and talk to Captain Planet...Like he'd be hovering three feet above my head...I'd even get mad at him and yell...My mom thought I was insane. Apparently an over-active imagination wasn't an explanation.
