My mom usually made us turn off the television before Fat Albert came on.
Was it ten or nine o'clock?
On weekdays my parents would be up at dawn and fully dressed for war. Me and my siblings learned to wake up, get out of bed, get ready for school on our own rather than face the wrath of mom. (Dad left for work earlier.)
On weekends my parents would be up a few hours later than dawn.
They'd wander out into the kitchen a bit disheveled and happy before they yelled at us to turn off the television and come to breakfast, a breakfast fit for warriors.
I don't want to hear any of that from my own kids.
