When I was young, the "Planet Of The Apes" film series was popular and I was into them in a big way. I used to think that I was the only "real" person on the planet and that all others were really gorillas like in the movies! They simply wore human costumes whenever I was around. Of course they were smart enough to know when I would be watching t.v. or movies, so they put on their costumes when they knew I would be watching. When they were alone and away from me, the masks came off.
