The first time I became aware of Americans I was four years old. (space-related anecdote)
One small step for man ... etc.
I was doing a puzzle at the dining-table and my grandparents were watching the black-n-white telly, for fuzzy pictures - of a foot coming down the little ladder. (taken by what camera,? was my question at the time) . They shushed me, and were sitting on the edges of their seats, all agog. I felt a little lonely over there at the table.
My grandies tried to say, afterwards, it was a 'film camera' mounted on a little remote-contolled wheelie thingie.
"But then they would have to first put it on the ground, and that would mean IT'S NOT REAL". I felt betrayed by a make-believe-for-the-camera.
I was a difficult child, prolly on the aspie spectrum. Afterwards I would wrap myself in towels or tablecloths, so that they could not take pictures of me 'playing with a tea-set' that they had put on the lawn, for me 'learn to do the dishes', because I felt that it was ALL make-believe, as soon as the camera came out. And anyway, the whole thing was plastic, and the sun looked neat through the cloth. They got all concerned: "Is he sleeping?"
Showing my jolly age and some weird ancestors, and revealing personal details on the internetz. Gee.
