When I was about 6, I saw JAWS at the drive-in. Well, actually I spent most of it hiding in the back seat of the car telling my aunt and her boyfriend, "Tell me when the scary part's over!" When I got home and was getting ready for bed, I was very careful where I stepped, because I was afraid part of the floor would suddenly open up like a trap door and there would be a shark in a tank of water down there.
