The only problem was that I didn’t know that was the BYU fight song. I thought she was trying to scare me out of bed because cougars had escaped from the zoo.

You might think I was making that up- but at the same time they were talking about gorilla warfare on the news (going on somewhere in Central America I think). For a kid who saw Planet of the Apes, the concept of gorilla warfare and cougars running loose in the neighborhood was easy to imagine.
