Bunny,

Check has proven, by his/her own words, that they were preloaded with gobs and gobs of myth prior to reception of that ultimate "gift" that never gives. 

You asked a poignant question...... Exactly what was M saying at the age of four?  Probably things like, "where's my horsey," "I want my turban" and "where's my drum."  (Remember that silly section of WIGMJ where they show him wearing a turban and pounding on a little drum?)

Actually, knowing his penchant for chocolate, I'd bet that was his major concern at the age of 4.  Sheesh...... "totally immersed 24/7" my arse!  Yeah, totally immersed in dreams of Willy Wonka, maybe.....
