It may be of interest to those interested in General Semantics that the first time these phrases get interpreted in the bank is the one which is liable to be used by the reactive mind.

Lecture: Processing Children (2)

The next area is that of semantics. When all else fails on a child, when one [...]

Book: Child Dianetics

Education: What do you know about your schools? Your children spend a good portion of their lives there.

Lecture: Dianetics: First Lecture of Saturday Course (3)

The theory of delusion: Insanity starts by delusion. Childhood delusions become insanity and therefore what one remembers as having done is delusion.
