Mr. Ballin

So it sort of made sense.

Okay, fine.

Maybe...

My son's dream is about something that happened at the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Don't know how this even happens.

Don't know how this is possible, but I'm going to do some research.

And so that's what Bruce does.

He begins researching the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Doesn't even really know what he's looking for, but he just wants to see if there's anything connected to what his son has been saying.

And what he eventually discovers actually is sort of a relief.

He discovers that there is no record of any Corsair airplanes crashing during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

In fact, no Corsair planes at all were flown during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

And his son James had been saying specifically, I flew a Corsair plane, like that was the plane that crashed.

And so he's thinking, okay, there's a hole in my son's story.

Like, he clearly must have latched on to some event somehow.

Somebody said it to him.

He heard it, whatever it is.

And in his two-year-old mind, he sort of warped it.

And that's what he believes happened.

But it's not real.
