Told her about the time I was hospitalized because my dad thought is was crazy.

I remember being at Milwaukee Children's Hospital, I think.

My mother would come and visit me in the room with all the other children.

I remember being given what I think was Electric Shock Treatments.

They would lay me down some kind of padded table and put something in my mouth with a tube so I could breath.

Then they wet my head with something and placed a thing on both sides of my head.

Bzzzzz.... It would go blank for a while.

The only thing I got out of it was IT - PISSED - ME - OFF!!!

Later on after I was released, I had to visit with a school psychiatrist.

I remember him giving me a series of tests.

One of those tests I've thought about since then.

The guy filled a glass with some water and asked me, "How much is in the glass?"

I answered, "It's full."

Puzzled, he asked, "What do you mean it's full? There's only so much water in the glass."

I replied back, "It's full."

He asked, "Explain."

I explained, "It's full of water and it's full of air."

The guy asked, "How do you know it's air?"

I grabbed his hand and blew on it and said, "Feel that? That's Air."

Not sure how old I was, must have been less then 10 years old.
