My brother (who, I might add, convinced me
of many strange things) told me that when a
plane flew over our house, if you looked up
and saw lights flashing, it meant the plane
was opening its hatch to drop a bomb on you. For the longest time my mom couldn't understand why I would cry and run into the house if a plane came near.
