When I was a young one, and the movie E.T. came out, I bawled so hard I had to be taken out of the theater... and became completely enamored with all things E.T. (birthday cake, sweatshirt, plastic candy containers...)
Given that I *LOVED* E.T. and thought he was the most adorable creature ever- I didn't think I was amiss in commenting at Thanksgiving dinner that my new baby cousin was a cutie- he had huge blue eyes and reminded me of, of course, E.T. My aunt was so taken aback at being told her firstborn looked like E.T. that she cried. Everyone was angry at me, and I recall being terribly confused by the uproar.

I was eventually forgiven :P
