because when you're five and you've heard of the theory of relativity but don't know quite what it is, but it has to do with light, and then (narrative voice switchover) i was jumping up and down on my bed, looking at the door frame, which had a spot of light on it from the dining room (this is the old house). and when you jump the light jumps too! but not because the dining room light is moving. and i thought that was relativity. yup. that was me!
