7. I remember

coming home from babysitting, nobody was home, this was Halloween. What was on the radio was 'War of the Worlds'. This was in '81-'82. I was freaking out and called my mother at work. she just started laughing, while fear tears were streaming. Then she told me the history of 'War of the Worlds'.

I shared that because I couldn't imagine the panic of something like that truly happening? I think we are pretty numb, to....well, pretty much everything!

This is all turned into a very dark comedy to me. It's so unbelievable, everything is unbelievable now.
