I did go a couple of times to real movie theaters, in San Francisco. One year my mother and I hitchhiked to the city and saw For the Love of Benji; afterward I ate fried prawns in a Chinese restaurant with my mother's godmother, whose hands shook as she tried to pour the tea. I gave her a drawing of a deer mouse, copied from a photograph in a magazine.
