Sometimes it's not good to be right...
=(
Well...all my life I was told by my mother, that she had 8mm films from the Disnland Fire, that made it through. That her uncle got her a couple months before it burnt to the ground. Everyone once and-a-while, told that they were worth so much money, sometimes it was $5k each, sometimes up to $250k for all, and would get us at out any pickle that we were in if we had to sell them. 3 years ago, we brought them down and watched them, took notes of the titles, and wrote them down. Today, I looked online for prices. The prices had 5 in them...but not in the right place. 25$ was the most I could find for one. I guess her uncle lied to her where he got them. As they were Castle Films Inc. They would sell copies of the cartoons for home use. And her uncle must of bought them, either said that they were from a fire, or my mom lied about her whole life, that she started to believe it. I feel sadded to figure out that they were worth that much, and from the last 3 years told her that I was right about the price and not to get her hopes up. I told her all the time that they were only worth 16$ without the box. And I was right. I don't want to be right, this time. I know she's sad. She's probably going to cry about it. Maybe she's going to lie to herself and keep on telling her brain that they are worth that much. But I would like it to get out of her system now. Because later, when she's really old, and me and my brother are gone, and she gets them acualy apprazied, and the apprasier says, they are only worth $(little amount money here), I don't want her to break down. Why did this happen?
