My first memory

My first memory is a bit hazy, but I remember seeing the movie The Wizard of Oz and getting to the scene where the trees throw their fruit at Dorothy and I was terrified. I am not sure if this points to some deeper problem that I have with either fruit or malicious trees, but it resonates as one of the earliest things that I can picture along with the primal emotion of fear that something horrible has happened. Interestingly enough the book The Wizard of Oz has no such evil tree scene, and so the movies cruel interpretation and my discomfort are both the fault of the director of the film.
