When I was about age 7, I had a nightmare where a gorilla came
into my room, picked me up, threw me out the window onto the
patio, then jumped on me.
I woke up, looked around to see all was safe,
and just at that moment my Mom walked into check on me
having heard something amiss.
I started screaming.
Had a hard time explaining that to Mom.
She didn't like thinking she'd been called a gorilla.
