Around the age of 6 I was convinced that the world inside the TV was real, and the only barrier between that world and myself was the glass screen. I REALLY wanted to go inside that world to explore and play, and spent a long time trying to decide whether or not I should break the glass so I could jump inside. I remember sitting and weighing my decision. "If I break the tv screen, my grandmother will be extremely mad, but she won't be able to catch me, because I will jump inside TV land..... of course, she could follow me and find me..." In the end, I decided it wasn't worth the risk, thank God!
