My parents used to watch Americas most wanted when I was younger. When I was about 6 or 7 I remember hearing the word serial killer (home and friends), and thought that it was a person who killed people for their cereal. I was so afraid to eat cereal. Since my parents ate cereal, I was afraid that they would come after us to kill us while we slept.
