      My family went to a mall once and a mime was performing. To everyone's surprise my 6 year old niece became hysterical. We asked him to break character and he finally did, but while that helped, we finally had to just pick her up and go back to the car. At home, she slept for a while, then was fine.

The next day which was actually a few weeks from when the class was supposed to graduate his teachers told him he would be leaving Julliard since they had nothing else to teach him.
