Slivers of E.T.

I have a confession to make. I've never seen the movie E.T. all the way through. I think that the longest clip I saw was when I was a little kid and my mom was pulling lots of slivers out of my arm. We had a wooden fence around the outside and I thought I was a clever little daredevil by riding so close to it that the handlebars of my bike would scrape along. The faster I went the more thrilling it got. I kept pushing the limit until the handlebars caught one of the slats and physics sent the side of my arm crashing into some rough wood. I had splinters, like a hundred, all up the side of my forearm. OUCH! I was watching E.T. while my mother did the surgery to remove them with a needle. I wish we had known the elmer's glue trick to getting them out.
