Cyclops Response

I have yet to encounter a person who resembles a character from the story Cyclops by David Sedaris.  However, I used to tell my little brothers made up stories that were meant to scare them away from all sorts of things.  “Cameron, stop watching so much TV!! “ I would say when I wanted to annoy him.  He would then turn to me and most likely make a face as if to mock me.  “You know, so much TV will turn your brain to mush…then your brain will come oozing out of your ears!!”  He would then get up off of the couch, with a perfect indent of where he had been glued for the last few hours.  “Stop!” he would yell, then come lunging towards me.  When my other brother, Matt, was younger, I used to tell him that the Boogey Man lived in the trees at the edge of our back yard.  I told Matt that he lived in an invisible hut and fed on little boys.  He even believed me when I told him that the Boogey Man especially liked 6 year old boys, named Matthew who had brown hair and blue eyes.  Though I have long grown out of my days of scaring my brothers with made up stories, it is quite fun to reflect on the crazy things I used to tell them!
