From All These Years authorized biography 1994 edition: Tori's mother delights in telling her own cornflake girl story, set in a London high street. Mrs. Amos and her daughter were strolling along, minding their own business and looking distinctly unfamous, when two little girls came screeching up to them shouting, "The cornflake girl! The cornflake girl!". After a quick disappearance, the girls breathlessly returned with their own mother in tow announcing, "Mum, it's Tori Amos!". Much to her daughters' embarassment, the mother on the spot enquired politely, "Do I know you?". A single shriek of "the cornflake girl Mum!" resulted in a why-didn't-you-say-so brand of instant recognition after with Tori signed autographs for the entire family. Mrs. Amos remembers, "Tori turned to me and said, 'But Ma, I'm a raisin girl,' a point very few people seem to get."
